THE REVOLT" 

 DRAIN-EXCAVATOR. 



Results of Public Demonstrations of the "REVOLT. " 



On the 24th May, 1920, at a demonstration held at Kerchester's Farm, Sprouston, near 

 KELSO. X.B. (at which official representatives of the Scottish Board of Agriculture 

 and of the Highland Society were present), the machine excavated a drain 2' 3" deep, 

 7" wide, and 450 yards long, in 1£ hours. This performance constituted a 

 particularly severe test, the ground being of a stiff clayey nature. A tremendous 

 number of stones and rocks were encountered; but no difficulty was experienced, and 

 where an absolute boulder blocked the way, the machine " jumped " the boulder in 

 each case, the boulder being afterwards removed by hand. 



The cost of cutting drains has been thoroughly examined by practical experts, who have 

 proved that such work averages 9d. per chain, based on the hire of a Tractor at 12/- 

 per hour (which includes driver, fuel and depreciation) and two men at 1/6 each per 

 hour.
