The New "Ohio" Shredder 



Showing a Sample of Shredded Corn Stalks 



Speed, 600 to 700 revolutions 



The illustration above shows a regular "Ohio" machine 

 equipped with our Patented Shredder Blades instead of with 

 Knives. These Shredder Blades are interchangeable with cut- 

 ting Knives on all sizes of cutters from No. 9 up, so that by 

 purchasing the Blades extra the user has two machines in one, 

 with little extra cost. 



When shredded properly, corn is much more readily eaten 

 and with much less waste than when fed whole. Shredded dry 

 fodder is considered much better than dry cut fodder, for the 

 reason that it is split and torn, thus doing away with the trou- 

 blesome sharp edges. 



The new Shredder Blade successfully reduces the fodder 

 to the proper condition, with the same power, speed and capacity 

 as the regular "Ohio" Cutter. The blades have projecting steel 

 teeth no two in succession travel in the same path. Unlike the 

 saw-blade or tooth Shredders, they do not pulverize and waste 

 the leaves, but split and tear the stalks perfectly. The shredded 

 corn in the picture was made with two blades on the cylinder 

 and it is reduced to a nice condition; hence four blades will 

 shred it much finer. 



The greatest saving in this new shredder is that perfect 

 work can be done at normal speed (600 to 700 revolutions), 

 which means that the same power which runs the cutter will 

 run the shredder and that nothing extra but the shredder 

 blades are needed to make two machines in one.
