GRITCO C BROADCAST LIME DISTRIBUTOR 



The rapid increase in the use of lime demands a machine 

 , _ I,, | — ■ to apply these materials which is moderate in cost and accu- 



\ rate in its distribution. 



r— ■» This distributer is designed for broadcasting lime and 



ashes, and it will distribute in drills or rows when supplied 

 with an extra feed plate especially punched according to the 

 width of the row. 



The amount of lime this machine will sow to the acre de- 

 pends somewhat on its weight per bushel, as well as its con- 

 dition, but the 13 notches of feed opening average to spread 

 from 250 lbs. per acre at the lowest notch to 3550 lbs. at the 

 highest notch. 



Special features make this distributer lead all machines of 

 its kind and work where others fail. 



The Agitator, or beater, in bottom of the hopper revolves 

 , only when the load is being spread. It does not turn con- 

 One horse, with screen $50.00 Revoiving- Prongs with 3% -inch spaces placed directly over 



_ ... . the feed openings make a forced feed that is most satisfactory.

_ . ... slide plate directly beneath it is of steel, separated from the 



Two horse, with screen 55.00 feed plate bv liners.

Two horse, without screen 50.00 ]ime is damp or does not fall free ly into the agitator. It 



helps even spreading, which is a great feature. 

 The Shaker Board hangs from the bottom of the hopper, and is controlled by a chain, holding it at any desired angle and 

 broadcasting the lime evenly. 



The Wind Break hangs from the shaker board, free to swing in any direction if an obstruction is met, and prevents wind 

 sweeping under the machine and carrying the lime away. 



~ NEW IDEA MANURE SPREADER 



THE NEW IDEA 



Pront Wheels, CG Inches; Hind Wheels, 40 Inches. 



This cut shows Our Special Fertilizer Distrib- 

 uter, which has become very popular. It has a 

 positive force feed, and will sow all kinds of fer- 

 tilizer. It is made of the best material, and is 

 practical. » 

 Our Special Price, $25.00. 



Is the only high-class spreader on the market 

 to-day, because it combines all the features 

 necessary to make a good spreader. There 

 are plenty of manure unloaders on the market, 

 but the NEW IDEA is the only PULVERIZER 

 and SPREADER. No gears to wear out 

 and break, and no unnecessary noise, as a 

 chain, when oiled occasionally runs practically 

 noiseless. Competitors will tell you that they 

 gain power by the use of gear wheels. Any 

 authority on power will tell you that the more 

 direct you can drive a machine, the less power 

 it will consume. 



When the load is off, the chain is raised off 

 the large sprocket wheel, and there is no wear 

 in driving to and from the field. This cut also 

 shows the reach or coupling used, which makes 

 . . . _ - it impossible to strain the bed — a very com- 



Weignt, 1740 rounds. mon occurrence on other machines. 



The range of feed can be instantly changed whilst the machine is 

 in operation by shifting the lever on the right side of the machine, 

 and can be stopped entirely. As the feed and drive work independently 

 of each other, if you get to a place where you do not wish to spread, 

 keep your machine running and merely shut off the feed. 



When the manure leaves the two cylinders it drops on the rapidly 

 rotating distributer at the rear end, which, through its speed and its 

 obliquely set paddles, breaks up any bunches that might pass over, 

 and spreads the manure out in a wide and even spread, fully the 

 width of the wheel tracks. Even, not thick in the center and thin on 

 the edges. 



Spreading the width of the track makes it unnecessary to drive over 

 the spread manure with the New Idea, a necessity with all others. 

 This feature alone is worth the price of the machine, and when once 

 seen in operation will convince the most skeptical buyer. 



The Conveyor of the New Idea is made out of two strands of No. 77 

 malleable chain, fastened to heavy channel steel bars, and is endless, 

 and runs over a solid bottom, something similar to the bottom of a 

 wagon box. It lasts a lifetime with ordinary care. 



Traction lugs are furnished with each machine. This is another New 

 Idea device. Very efficient and easy to remove when not needed. The 

 rear wheels have square holes punched in them, and lug bolts are 

 inserted and clamped tight with a nut. 



BOTH WHEELS DRIVE. 



The rear axle revolves in long journals, and is fitted with ratchets on 

 each end, which engage in the notches in the hub of the rear wheels. 

 Very simple and durable.
