THE IMPERIAL "TJ' : 



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 manufac- 

 turers. The frame of the Harrow is channel 



steel, good weight 

 and strength. The 

 "U" Bars pass 

 through the main 

 frame of the Har- 

 row, and are held 

 in position by a 

 malleable clamp. The con- 

 struction 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 

 ordinary Disc Harrow is more troublesome and less 

 under control than the tongue on 

 other implements. It is jerked vio- 

 lently from side to side by the mo- 

 tion of the Harrow, frets and wor- 

 ries the team, and is especially an- 

 noying in turning corners. The Fore- 

 truck 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 fol- 

 lows the truck. 



The position of the rrame on 

 the Foretruck is adjustable. 

 This is important because to 

 secure 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 alike, 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 being only 14 inches from the ground. The line of draft is con- 

 sequently 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.
