MASSEY-HARRIS POWER DRIVE CORN PLANTER 



The value of a, corn planter depends on the accuracy of the drop — the ability to 

 drop uniformly under varying conditions. The drop of the Massey-Harris planters is 

 as near 100% perfect as it is possible to obtain. 



Our variable drop device, regularly supplied, enables the operator to vary the 

 number of kernels in each hill according to the fertility of the soil. A lever in front 

 of the seat can be shifted to drop 2, 3 or 4 kernels in the hill. 



An alternate drop arrangement permits of further variation, if desired. This 

 enables operator to drop 1 and 2, 2 and 3, or 3 and 4 kernels to the hill, if the planting 



range of the regular variable drop is not adequate. 



A "step drop" or "hill drop" device can be at- 

 tached, which enables a man to plant the corn in 

 hills without the use of wire. It provides a range 

 of 2, 3 or 4 kernels to a hill dropped at any dis- 

 tance from 24 to 50 inches as desired. 



The round-hole plate we use for all kinds of 

 corn kernels. 



We can furnish plates with holes to fit small, 

 mediun* and large corn. A wider range of kernel 

 sizes can be handled with these plates than any other planter 

 made and still obtain surprisingly high accuracy. This is due to 

 our patented primary and secondary cut-offs. 



Regular equipment of check rower runner planters includes: — 

 Round or stub type runner, as ordered, open or concave tire 

 wheels, optional. Also supplied with automatic reel, anchor 

 stakes. 80 rods of wire, and disc marker. 



Drill planters are furnished with disc marker. 

 All runner planters are shipped set at 3' 6" and adjustable from 

 3' 2" to 4' 0". 



Regular equipment of disc planters is the same as for runner 

 planters. Disc planters come set at 3' 6", but are adjustable from 

 3' 2" to 3' 10".

SAVE TIME, IiABOB ANB GIVE YOU 

 STBONaER FX.A1TTS 



It isn't necessary today to convince any intelli- 

 gent farmer who grows tobacco, cabbage, tomatoes, 

 strawberries, sweet potatoes, nursery stock — any 

 kind of plants that require transplanting — that it 

 pays to use a good transplanter. It is now gen- 

 erally known that plants transplanted when the 

 ground is dry have a more rapid growth and are 

 stronger and healthier than those transplanted 

 when there is a season in the ground. 



With a Massey-Harris Transplanter you can set 

 your plants when they are just the right size. You 

 know the danger of transplanting when plants get 

 too large on account of waiting for a season. You 

 can't afford to run that risk. 



Tou avoid tramping and packing the ground 

 around the newly set plant. 



You avoid putting the water on top "of the ground, 

 which causes the ground to bake and crack and 

 you don't have to hoe around the plants, as you 

 have to when you water them by hand. 



You can pack the soil around the roots, so that 

 the plant gets a good start in life. 



CONVENIENT PRESSURE I^EVER 

 The pressure lever, within convenient reach of 

 either of the plant setters, controls the pressure 

 of the press wheels in pressing the earth about the 

 roots of the plant. 



PRESS -WHEEI^S 

 Press wheels which are adapted to moist soils. 

 Coil springs allow the wheels to follow any un- 

 evenness of ground and make the work uniform. 

 The angle of the wheels can be changed to suit 

 soil conditions. 



ADJUSTABLE "WATER SUPPLY 



The water supply is easily and quickly adjusted by a guide through which the trip 

 rod passes. Raising the guide increases the flow of water, lowering it lessens the 

 flow. 



Deep, medium or shallow runners can be furnished. The runner is forced into the 

 ground by a powerful spring attached to the raising lever, and can be set at depth

RiarO POIiE A GOOD PEATURE 



The rigid pole does away with danger of breaking any parts in turning at the end 

 of the rows. With a flexible tongue, you must unlatch it before you dare to turn 

 around. Furthermore, with a flexible pole, it is hard to get the machine lined up at 

 the end of the row before you start to plant another row. With the Massey-Harns rigid 

 pole you turn around just as you do with a cultivator.
