BUCKEYE TRACTION DITCHERS REVOLUTIONIZE 

 RECLAMATION WORK IN THE SOUTH 



SINCE the "BUCKEYE" has been used in 

 reclamation projects throughout the 

 South, thousands of acres of waste land 

 have been reclaimed and utilized for colo- 

 nization purposes. 



Before the "BUCKEYE" became an im- 

 portant, factor in reclamation projects, the 

 cost and hard work entailed in drainage and 

 irrigation impeded the colonization of 

 marshy land. 



The "BUCKEYE" was the first machine 

 made that could be operated on soft, 

 land. The apron tractions carry the 

 ditcher over wet ground that will not sustain 

 the weight of a team of horses and an empty 

 wagon. 



It is also the first machine made that will 

 cut a ditch with a sloping bank at a contin- 

 uous cut. Ditches of from 2 > > to 12 foot top 

 can be cut with the "BUCKEYE", accord- 

 ing to the size of machine used. Every ditch 

 is of uniform size and perfect to grade. 



The "BUCKEYE" takes the place of from 

 50 to 150 men and does the work better, 

 faster and cheaper, reducing labor bills to 

 almost nothing.
