THE CYCLE ENSILAGE CUTTER 



After much experience in manufacturing large cutters, we have found that 

 this principle is the best FOR CUTTING LARGE QUANTITIES OF GREEN CROPS, 

 ESPECIALLY FOR ENSILAGE, for which business ordinary feed cutters are too 

 weak, too slow, dangerous to use, and unreliable. This machine puts the crops 

 in the very best shape for this purpose, cuts at any speed without closing and 

 without winding on the rollers Green Maize, Clover even when wet, Cow Pea, 

 Miller, fec., &c. The rollers do not mash the preen stalks. This Cutter is also 

 excellent for cutting HAY, STRAW, OR DRIED CORN STALKS. 



The System of Ensilage which we have had the honor of introducing to the 

 fanners of the United States, and which must prevail in all sections of the coun- 

 try requires such a machine as this to make it profitable and safe, in order that 

 the silo may be filled as fast as two feet per day at least, to prevent heating. 



The Cycle Cutters cut with less power for the result than any other 

 form of machine. They have three knives, with lonsr drawing cut, so leading 

 each other that the cut is continuous, and without jar. The length of cut is easily 

 changed to be either % or 2 inch. 



With these machines a fine cut (% in.), can be had as cheaply as 1 inch with 

 cutters made on any other principle. 



The knives are adjustable by the simplest set screws, and are covered 

 (cover not shown in cut). 



There is an aperture for dropping stones before reaching the rollers, so that 

 there is very little danger of any reaching the knives. The cutting plate is of 

 hardened steel, and is simple and easy to replace in case of any accident. In 

 this respect the Cutter is an improvement on all others before made in Europe 

 or America. It can be kept in order and repaired at home in case of an accident, 

 which would be impossible to do in other more complicated machines. 



Stop levers are on both sides of the cutter by which the feed rolls can be in- 

 stantly stopped. The WORM driving gear is peculiarly simple and durable, and 

 it is apparently impossible that any break down can occur while a silo is being 

 filled, while the smooth whiz of the knives is a great, contrast to the chop, chop, 

 of small cylinder cutters, offered by other manufacturers, for this purpose. We 

 make sizes to suit all buyers, from hand power to steam engine 2 to 10 tons 

 per hour. 



We can refer to such purchasers as Francis Morris, O. B. Potter, C. W. Mills, 

 Whitman & Burrell, R. M. Hoe. who previously used other machir.es for the 

 purpose. We also manufacture Horse Powers, Lever and Tread.
