The Fordaon will run your threshing machine --and at the most opportune time for you. It will operate the milking machines, saw your wood, fill your silo, pump the water, and take care of every kind of belt work-- And don't forget--It will plow six to eight acres in a tan hour day, handling two plofp. with ease.
