This might qualify. This is a copy/paste from the www.tractorace.com site. "By 1930, in spite of the growing depression, more than 900,000 tractors were in use on U.S. farms -- nearly double the number in 1925. The Case Model DD was introduced that year, and is a good example of two trends that were current in the tractor business. It had three wheels instead of four, to make cultivation or row crops easier, and it was a general purpose tractor. Another idea just coming into vogue, though not on this model, was rubber tires, which gave farmers a smoother ride and more speed. Race driver Barney Oldfield about this time drove a rubber-tired tractor 64 mph, and once got a speeding ticket while driving a tractor through a small town in Indiana."
