THE SPALDING DEEP TILLING MACHINE 



Endorsed by Agricultural Authorities, Experiment Stations and Thousands 

 of Practical Farmers in the United States and Foreign Countries. 



It is the Only Mechanical Means for Mixing the Top and Bottom Soils 

 Together and Thoroughly Pulverizing the Two Soils. 



Greater Crops Mean Greater 

 Profit for the Users of 

 this Mschine

The fnont disk cuts from four to eight 

 inches, and turns the top trash over into 

 the bottom of the furrow. The rear disk 

 follows in the furrow of the front disk 

 and cuts from six to nine inches deeper. 

 The greater portion of the earth turned 

 by the front disk comes within the path 

 of the movement of the earth cut and 

 lifted by the rear disk, and as the earth 

 passes across the face of this revolving 

 rear disk it is disintegrated, pulled apart 

 and thoroughly mixed with the earth 

 plowed by the front disk, leaving the 

 top trash turned under by the front 

 disk completely covered in the bottom 

 of the furrow. 



The Spalding Deep Tilling Machine 

 makes but one furrow at a time, al- 

 though two disks are employed in its 

 construction. Instead of adding to the 

 width, as with the ordinary two-disk 

 plow, the Spalding Deep Tilling Machine 

 adds to the depth. In reality, it is a 

 vertical gang, plowing two furrows deep 

 at a single operation. 



The machine will plow and thoroughly 

 pulverize the earth to a depth of from 

 eight to sixteen inches, and make an 

 excellent seed-bed. 



Remember this is NOT an ordinary Double Disk Plow. 



Baltimore, Md., Oct. 21, 1912. 

 Gentlemen — It gives me great 

 pleasure to say a word in behalf 

 of the two Spalding Deep Tilling 

 Machines which I purchased from 

 you several months ago. In my 

 judgment, these machines will do 

 more to make farming a success 

 than any machinery I have pur- 

 chased in the last 20 years. Th» 

 deep plowing of the land, the pul- 

 verizing of the soil and the perfect 

 condition in which the soil is left 

 after being worked by this machine 

 are results which every farmer can- 

 not too highly appreciate. It is my 

 intention to buy four more Spalding 

 Deep Tilling Machines from you 

 next spring, and to plow every acre 

 of land I own with them at least 

 once in three or four years. Four 

 good horses or mules can pull the 

 machine with ease. 



Yours very truly, 



ROBERT CRAIN. 



Mint Spring, Va., Oct. 29, 1912. 

 Gentlemen — I used one of your 

 Spalding Deep Tilling Machines'this 

 fall, and the quality of work it did 

 is beyond . comparison. I started 

 this machine in sod that had not 

 had any rain on it for three months; 

 in fact, it was impossible for me to 

 plow it with any other plow. This 

 machine did the work nicely, turn- 

 ing the sod perfectly, and plowed 

 the soil to a depth of 1 fi inches. I 

 used four small horses, and they 

 handled it nicely. Yours truly,
