Supreme Court of Arkansas December 18, 1978, 78-148 (International Harvester Corp. v. Hardin)

Conley Byrd, Justice.

In 1968 W. R. Moore purchased a model 125 Cub Cadet garden tractor with a 42 inch mower attachment. The garden tractor, powered by a 12 horsepower engine, was hydrostatically operated — i.e. through the use of hydraulic controls the speed of the tractor either forward or backward could be increased or decreased without varying the speed of the 12 horsepower gasoline engine.
