THE IMPERIAL "U" BAR LEVER HARROW 



The Imperial "U" Bar Lever Spike-Tooth 

 Harrow is made in a strictly first-class manner 

 throughout. In construction this Harrow has many 

 advantages over those of other manufacturers. 

 The frame of the Harrow is channel steel, of good 



weight and 

 strength. The "U" 

 Bars pass through 

 the main frame of 

 the Harrow, and 

 are held in posi- 

 tion by a malle- 

 able clamp. The 

 construction gives 

 great strength to 

 _ _ the Harrow and at 



the same time allows flexibility. Each section is fitted with four steel runners, one attached to each corner, for 

 transportation. These runners, when the Harrow is at work, are on top of the frame and do not obstruct. By 

 throwing the lever forward the runners are thrown down in a position which carries the entire Harrow off the 

 ground. *

Instead of being guided by a tongue, the Harrow is 

 controlled by a two-wheeled truck attached to the front 

 end of the frame. The Wheels are pivoted under the 

 frame and allow a square turn to be made. The truck 

 exercises a positive guidance and control over the Har- 

 row, which follows it just as the rear wheels of a wagon 

 follow the front wheels. 



No one will deny that the tongue as used on the ordi- 

 nary Disc Harrow is more troublesome and less under 

 control than the tongue on other im- 

 plements. It is jerked violently from 

 side to side by the motion of the 

 Harrow, frets and worries the team, 

 and is especially annoying in turning 

 corners. The Foretruck does away 

 with all this. The team 

 is easily managed and 

 works quietly and evenly 

 without being subjected 

 to the pounding of the 

 tongue and neck yoke. 

 There is no neck weight 

 and no side draft. The 

 Harrow simply follows 

 the truck. 



The position of the 

 Frame on the Foretruck 

 is adjustable. This is im- 

 portant because to se- 

 cure a uniform depth of 

 cut the frame should be 



level with the surface to the ground. If the front end of the frame is too high the inside disc blades will cut too 

 deep; if too low, the outside discs will cut too deep. When the frame is level all the blades cut ahke, and uniform 

 cultivation is secured. The Hitch also is adjustable, and may be made considerably lower than on a tongue Harrow, 

 the lowest hitch hole bemg only 14 inches from the ground. The Une of draft is consequently lower and the pull 

 of the team therefore more effective. These adjustments of frame and hitch enable the operator to get the best and 

 most effective work out of his machine with the least exertion on the part of his team.
