1911 'An enterprising Scottish firm (Adam Hunter and Co, Crown Motor Works, Lockerbie) have taken up agricultural motors, and are prepared to arrange for practical demonstrations any part of Scotland. The agricultural motor has been in use since 1902, and their sale is rapidly increasing. They will haul ploughs, reapers, mowers, cultivators, harrows, and will drive threshers, saw bench, chaff-cutter, mill-pump, dynamo, etc. These motors will plough five-acre field seven hours, at a cost of about 4s 6d per acre, and are now in constant use practically every country in the world.'[3]
