NEW IDEA MAN 



It pulverizes the manure thoroughly and distributes the 

 same evenly and in a wide stream. 



Should the pulverizing cylinders have missed or not fully 

 fined up a particle of manure, it will get a second pulveriza- 

 tion from the rapid rotating distributer. 



The machine is a simple and substantial one, having all 

 the weak parts weeded out during the years of testing, experi- 

 menting, building and selling them, consequently a time- 

 tried machine, a machine made to work and to last, if you 

 take anytliing like good care of it. 



The front and rear axles are connected by a strong reach 

 or coupling pole well braced, same as the farm wagon. No 

 front axle or truck can draw away under the machine when 

 manuring crosswaj's over the field or driving through cross- 

 furrows, ditches and rough places. Ko strain on the bed, but 

 the. draft is on the reach only. Front wheels turn under 

 bed up to tlie reach, allowing close turns. 



It is very simple. You can see all tlie working parts tliere 

 are to tlie machine from tlie cut. Tliere is nothing hidden 

 or under the machine.

A MANURE PULVERIZER 



URE SPREADER 



chine, and as its lower portion is set below the level of the 

 conveyor, it will carry the last portion of manure in the 

 machine out more readily than machine with one large cyl- 

 inder is able to do. 



It has only two levers — one to set the machine in and out 

 of gear, and the other one to set the feed, which can be regu- 

 lated to suit during the operation of the macliine. 



A boy can operate the New Idea as perfectly as an expert. 



It is an easy draft machine, it being built on such prin- 

 ciples. Most powerful driving meclianism, everytliing sim- 

 ple; wheels track and are close together; the pulverizing 

 arrangement is built to do the work witli a minimum of 

 power, it having the two cylinders set for the best pulveriz- 

 ing and with the least friction, the upper cylinder being set 

 so as not to allow any weight of manure on the lower cyl- 

 inder to act as a brake to that cylinder; the teetli are all 

 pointed round like a pointed lead pencil to enable them to 

 cut and pulverize better, and at tlie same time keep tliem- 

 selves cleaner than mere blunt pins. 



It need not be as carefully loaded for good results as 

 other spreaders. 



The conveyor does not rest on steel runners, but drags 

 over the floor, steel runners not being practical. Will not 

 hurt the floor, as there is no weight on the conveyor, as 

 some people may think, as the manure is not carried on the 



A MANURE DISTRIBUTER 



DIMENSIONS: Average Capacity 70 bushels. Front Wheels 28 inches, Rear Wheels 40 inches; both 4- 

 inch Tires. E<iuipped with 2-Horse Hitch. Extras: Brake, 3-Horse Hitch and Traction Bands. 



You can load the machine up to 26 inches in heavy manure 

 and in light manure as liigh as 32 inches. 



Both rear wlieels are drivers. Rear axle revolves in wide 

 bearings. Wheels do not revolve on axle except slightly 

 when turning. 



A straight all-chain drive with not a cog-wheel, secondary 

 shaft, clutch or additional part in it. Direct pull from the 

 axle sprocket wheel to that of the cylinder sprocket. It will 

 wear out any other arrangement, will not require any par- 

 ticular adjustment or attention as compared with other de- 

 vices; no clutches to wear out or get greasy and slip over, 

 no cogs to break out. 



There is no driving chain or any part of the machine run- 

 ning whilst the machine is set out of gear or going to the 

 field and coming back, a bad feature on any manure spreader. 



The machine is always ready for loading, no returning of 

 the conveyor necessary. 



It has a double cylinder pulverizing device, thus the lower 

 cylinder can be smaller than that of the single cylinder ma- 



conveyor, but falls between the slots and is simply drawn out 

 by them, the manure sliding over the floor. Feed is positive, 

 as the manure falling between the crossbars is carried out 

 by them and cannot slip or slide as on flexible floors. 



It has an endless chain conveyor and tight floor, having- 

 the advantage of the flexible endless conveyor without its 

 defects. It has not its defects, because the conveyor or apron, 

 will not slide under the manure, nor allow the manure to- 

 lodge between the upper and lower portion of the apron, 

 and wrap up in the machinery, nor will sloppy manure or 

 water be able to lodge in between and freeze and hinder the 

 operation of the machine. 



On account of the solid bottom and chain conveyor, the 

 manure cannot slide on the conveyor, but is steadily fed up, 

 and because the conveyor cannot shift or race when driving- 

 through furrows and rough places on account of the jolt, 

 therefore the manure will not get jammed into the cylinder, 

 causing it to stop or throw out a big pile, especially in the 

 light feed. 



We have several second-hand Beater Spreaders taken In exchange for "New Idea" Spreader, which we will sell at 



very low prices.
