Celebrated R05S 

 Cutters and 

 Carriers. 



SOME of the character- 

 istics of this popular 

 machine are, first : the 

 Upward cut, whereby the knife shaft rests 

 naturally on its bearings. By the Upward cut 

 the edges of the knives and the cutting; plate 

 are both in full view, so that after sharpening; 

 and grinding, the knives can be adjusted 

 accurately and easily. By a perfect arrange- 

 ment the feeding roller can open either parallel 

 or obliquely, and at the same time retains all parts 

 will feed heavily on one side and less on the other.

Ross Shredder. 



THE increased demand for Shredder Head in place of Knife Cylinder for Ensilage and Fodder Cutters has induced 

 The E. W. Ross Co., to arrange to supply all users of their machines with a Shredder Head, and they have about 

 perfected it, so that we are able now to supply any person wishing a Shredder for a machine of the Ross make- 

 whether old or new pattern. It has been demonstrated by farmers that shredded fodder is preferable to cut fodder in- 

 manj- instances, but it has not yet been adopted for the use of ensilage. They are manufacturers of the Latest Improved- 

 Ensilage and Fodder Cutters and we are in position to supply farmers and dealers with what ever there is> 

 demand for. They have a Shredder Head that is gotton up on a new principle, and it will shred the corn fodder, green 

 or dry, in the most perfect manner, making long thin strings of the fodder in place of cutting it into short lengths as- 

 formerly done with their regular machines. Their Shredder Head is built in such a way that in case of accident, by 

 some foreign substance running through into the shredder knives, the whole head is not necessarily ruined or damaged. 

 They make, on the regular size machines, the head in eight parts in the form of lags, making an octagon head to receive 

 these lags and each lag is independent and can be removed and replaced and the expense of renewing is not great. In 

 many of the shredders on the market it is difficult and expensive to replace the shredder knives if there is any accident 

 to them. The shredder knives are cast in this lag securely and of proper length : are gotton up in a reasonably cheap 

 manner, but they must be of sufficient quality to stand the test and work. The shredder knives are of hard steel and are 

 beveled back from the front edge so as to take as little friction as possible in passing through the fodder. It is under- 

 stood, of course, that it takes more power to driver a shredder than it does knives, as it tears the fodder to pieces instead 

 of cutting it. but we have figured to do this with the least possible power and in the easiest manner. Shredded fodder 

 has many advantages ; it can be handled very nicelv with a fork and there is very little waste hence we are inclined to 

 think that the shredder has come to stay. These shredders are built complete with a main shaft so that it is only neces- 

 sary to remove the top boxes over the main shaft of the Cutter, then remove the cylinder with the knives complete and place 

 the shredder head with the shaft in its place, the balance wheel and pullev used with the regular cutters taking their 

 place on this shaft and without any extra adjustment. We think we have as fine a shredder as there is on 

 the market and will quote list prices and specifv machines that we can supply the shredders for below. All Shredders- 

 are guaranteed to do the work that we claim for them.
