HOFFCB — Cast-iron ends project- 

 ing over and protecting ends of side- 

 boards. Screws are put in across the 

 grain; not in tlie end with the grain. 



Truss rods on 'both sides, with a 

 brace rod and board in the center, 

 make an exceptionally rigid construc- 

 tion. There can be no sag or warp. 

 Axle an<^ bearings cannot get out of 

 alignment, no matter how heavy the 

 load or rough the land. 



Two-piece coyer secured with 

 heavy hinges, nicely fitted to make 

 the top rainproof. Hopper is fitted 

 with two screens to sift out lumps 

 which might cause breakage or clog- 

 ging. 



Scatter-board is adjustable. When 

 clear down, fertilizer will drop in 

 rows six inches apart or can be raised 

 and will broadcast evenly over strip 

 nine feet wide. Sides of box are 

 steep, £0 contents will not stick or 

 clog. 



The cut-off slide moves easilj' in a groove In the cast-iron bottom plates. "When the cut-off lever is moved to right, 

 all the feed holes are open for broadcasting. When the lever is moved to left of center, three holes only are open for drilling. 



Box is full eight feet long; holds about ten bushels; will sow from 200 to 4,000 lbs. per acre, depending on condition 

 and kind of fertilizer. 



AXXiE — 1%-inch cold rolled steel; has renewable bearings which are self-aligning. This prevents undue wear and lightens 

 the draft. The distributors or feed wheels are fastened directly over the feed holes. Each 'distributor has five prongs. A steel 

 agitator rod runs through the feed wheels, keeping fertilizer well mixed and preventing clogging or binding above the feed. 



End castings are slotted, so that the clearance between distributors and feed plates can be adjusted. This and the large 

 five-pronged distributors are exclusive features and asstire an even distribution of any quantity of material, in any condition. 



Oats, barley and similar grains can be broadcasted, as proper adjustment of scatter-board will insure even seeding on 

 a windy day. 



Wheels are all steel, with wide concave tires to prevent sliding on side hill. They operate the axle with the universally 

 used ratchet drive.

 struction enable us to make a superior machine at a reasonable price.

Heavy iron brackets to support the bearings and which en- 

 tirely surrounds them. An additional feature of this roller is 

 the blocking in of the frame under the pole with a 4-inch 

 hardwood block. This construction gives the roller perfect 

 rigidity and absolutely springing of the steel frame when 

 turning around, crossing dead furrows, etc. It is further 

 braced with steel braces from the frame to the pole, which 

 not only adds strength to the roller, but prevents breaking 

 of the pole. 



The drums are 24 inches in diameter, made from extra 

 heavy hard steel sheets. The ends are made from pressed 

 steel and fitted with heavy cast bearings which allows each 



roll to turn independently. 



The shaft is 1%-inch high carbon steel.

The RODERICK LEAN Is built with 15-inch 

 Packer Wheels mounted on a 2-inch steel axle. 

 Each Solid Packer Wheel has a 1-inch extension 

 upon its hub. and on these e.xtensions are mounted 

 the Spike Wheels. These Spike Wheels are loosely 

 mounted with one inch play at the hub. 



The Steel Stub Pole is attached UNDER the 

 weight pan, leaving inside of weight pan unob- 

 structed for the use of long iron rails or bars if 

 additional weight is required. 



End Brackets are in one piece, bolted entirely 

 around the oil-soaked maple bearings, which gives 

 a rigid construction. 



The discs upon a RODERICK LEAN PACKER 

 all revolving freely upon the axle, a squ.'ire turn 

 can be made without dragging groimd. The loose 

 Si)ike Wheels in a Roderick Lean Packer, prevent 

 clogging in moist ground and this keeps the ma- 

 chine rolling freely and guarantees light draft. 



The Solid Disc Wheels pack the soil, close air 

 pockets and press the ground close around the 

 fertilizer and vegetation which has been plowed 

 under, thus causing it to become more quickly 

 available for plant fond.
