One is a Super A, the other is a Super C

Wow. What are they used for?

 

[KennyG]

I see what they are for, manual planting or cultivating. What I wonder about is the drive. If one axle is locked, does that double the speed of the tractor?

That's crazy looking. The drive systems looks interesting.

I came across those looking for Christmas related tractors and thought they looked wild, from what I read there really rare

 

[roadhunter]

Is that a chain drive axle you think?

Mother in law tractors, or for the wife!

If I were to guess it's only got one drive wheel, the other is a dead wheel, but who knows, the frame is big enough to hide someone to drive the other wheel.

 

[roadhunter]

I thought the same thing but then saw the access places on the framing and figured there must be a rason. I don't think gearboxes would fit so I assumed it might be a chain drive with a chain in each vertical portion of the frame and a shaft at the top to connect the 2 chains.

Sure it is. A horizontal shaft with sprockets on each end. An inboard chain connecting that shaft to a sprocket on the differential. An outboard chain connecting that shaft to a sprocket on the outboard wheel. Easy peasy.
