Also horses have to eat every day.  A tractor doesn't need to be fed until 
you need to use it. 
Not sure how accurate but I remember this statistic, that it can take as much 
as a quarter of the land a horse can work to feed that horse?  Anyway that 
does need to be figured in.  
That said I'd like to have horses but doubt that will ever happen.
