The Greatest 



Grass - Cutter 



on Earth. 



Cuts 100 



Acres a 



day. 



FLOATS OVER THE UNEVEN GROUND AS A SHIP RIDES THE WAVES 



One unit may be climbing a knoll, another skirriming 

 the level and another paring a hollow. 

 Not an assembly of tractor and mowers, but a single, 

 compact machine like an automobile, with 3, 4, or 5 

 cutting units. Driven by a 17 H. P. four-cylinder, 

 water-cooled gasoline motor of great power and quality 

 with Splitdorf Dixie Aero Magneto, a wonderful ra- 

 diator, sliding gear transmission, two speeds forward 

 and reverse, etc. 



Can also be drawn by horse, the motor being re- 

 moved, or converted into a powerful tractor by de- 

 taching the cutting units. Can back up or turn a complete circle 

 in double its width. Can stop in six inches — it has a powerful 

 brake — the only one that has. This is vital. 

 It has not a single cog wheel in its cutting units and but few else- 

 where, and those few very strong. The cutting units are con- 

 trolled from the driver's seat. Throw them in gear, throw them 

 out, raise them, lower them — all with a tiny lever at your right. 

 Do we guarantee it? Write your own.
