It easily out classes all competing machines in this combination. . „ We believe that fifteen years constant development ~ work ought to produce SOMETHING GOOD along this line, and we are able to prove that it does. Here is a spread* er that will go thru ditches^and over rough ground with as tonishingly light draft and more astonishing staying qual ities. « In this respect it is away beyond what other manu facturers have Wer thought possible. ? You will be surprised to see what a HIGH under clear ance this spreader has and still how LOW down and easy to lead it really is. The spring sea,t in front swings down out of the way, and in the rear the tail-gate and everything else is low down and well out of the way for loading pur poses.
