The Bull Tractor Company lasted from 1913 until 1920 when Ford drove many companies into the ground with their ability to mass produce.
The original Bull had an air cooled twin cylinder 12 hp engine giving about 5 hp at the drawbar, known as the "Little Bull". In 1915 they introduced a larger model with a 25 hp Twin cylinder engine developing 10 hp at the draw bar. This was called the "Big Bull". The Bulls were meant strictly for plowing, as they had a small wheel and a big wheel at the rear so they would ride level with one wheel in the furrow. All the Bulls were three wheeled tractors.
Not being certain, I would have to guess that this example is a "Little Bull" manufactured between 1913 and 1915. Looking at the pictures, one would have to assume that extreme care was required not to get one's overalls caught in the flywheel.
