Never seen a tractor like this. Kinda cool but doesn't look especially useful. Is there a PTO on it?

Highly efficient for row crops.

There are several modernized tractors based on the AC Model G available today.

None have REAR PTOs. Powered implements operate in front of the operator.

All are 2-WD, as the AC Model G.

When I attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in the 80’s, the school farm had two of them equipped with cultivator bars. Very light and nimble cultivator tractors and kind of a kick to drive.

For their intended purpose, there was nothing better.

There was a boat load of tools available for them, mine came to me with, and still has, cultivators.

Only saw 1 around here as this is IH cub country! Now there IS a USLESS model ! The G probably was o.k. for its intended purpose, BUT who ever used a tractor for its intended purpose? IF it pulled 1 bottom plow surly I can pull 3 bottoms with it----right?

The G was an ideal design for small vegetable farms. It doesn't seem so useful now because that's not the way we farm. We didn't see any of them in the midwest, but I think they were very popular on east coast and in the southeast.

HUH? Michigan is in the midwest, and it's full of "G"'s, just about every muck farm had them and some truck farms are still using them.

A Farmall Cub was also very popular as a truck farming tractor. If you think a Cub is useless you just do not know how to use one. My dad and my brothers and I prepped thousands of gardens for decades in my home town.

With over 245,000 Cubs built somebody thought they are useful.

I suspect that if the farmers of the era that purchased and used these tractors to make a living were to see one of our SCUTS or CUTS with loaders they would ask, "how in the heck would I use that to cultivate my crop?"

The fact that times change doesn't render the past incorrect. These tractors made a living for a lot of people.

I grew up in Illinois. We made fun of the AC B and C, the IH B and the Ford 8N because "they were too small for real work."

The reason cubs were made in high numbers was the selling price--- cheeeep to buy cheeep made!! I have 7 of them and only the yellow and white one is any good. I plow with it but its a struggle! Hard dry ground this fall was a bear, anyway this one is a nice tractor for the sprayer, plow, and the other 6 attachments I have for the 3-pt on it. also have 4 ac-b models and 4 ac-cmodels along with wd, wd-45, and 2 of the 440 4x4 jobbers along with ih 240, 404, 504, 560, etc. This cub does light work and the 340 utility is the tiller tractor and bush hoggin tractor.
