Lubin Pulverizer and Clod Crusher. 



Thoroughly pulverizes the soil, and effectually crushes clods. It does the work of 

 any harrow heretofore in use, and in addition not only crushes all the surface clods, 

 but stirs, pulverizes and mixes the soil the entire depth broken by ordinary plowing, 

 or shallower if desired. 



When the land is well broken and has no top crust, and only surface clods are to 

 be crushed, the tongue or pole of the machine can be reversed, as shown in cut here- 

 with, so that the spring teeth or crushing bars will be in the rear, with the back of 

 the curved teeth forward, serving then as crushing bars for pulverizing the surface 

 clods. 



A series of wheels with chisel-shaped steel teeth, revolve independently on a steel 

 shaft. The teeth project from the wheel about six inches, and are about four inches 

 apart. As the machine is drawn forward these chisel-shaped teeth revolve between 

 the curved spring teeth, or crushing bars in front. 



The entire weight of the machine and that of the driver are placed on top of these 

 revolving teeth, in which manner they are forced into the ground. The depth of cul- 

 tivation is regulated by the depth to which the spring teeth are set. 



The curved spring teeth raise the clods from beneath the surface. They are then 

 caught by the revolving teeth, and cannot pass through without being thoroughly 

 crushed; so that not only the surface clods, but those from beneath, are thoroughly 

 pulverized, thereby making a perfect seed-bed for whatever may be thereafter planted.
