It is only 55 inches wide. It works in vineyards 

 with 7'foot rows. It goes under the Hmbs and gets 

 close to the trees in orchards. It is simple in de' 

 sign, light in weight and priced accordingly .Write 

 us about the lower price. 



It is built particularly for orchard, vineyard and 

 side-hill work; but may be used in scores of other 

 ways, and in any kind of soil. 



Its three speeds give it unusual flexibihty. It has 

 few wearing parts, and low upkeep. Big operators 

 need it- for its particular purposes; smaller opera'
