ONLY TRACTOR THAT TURNS IN A RADIUS OF ITS OWN WIDTH 



WHY THE CHASE 9-18 FARM TRACTOR SUCCEEDS 



It meets the growing demand for a medium-sized tractor 

 especially suited for the small or medium-sized farm. 



It is the product of ten years careful engineering experi- 

 ence coupled with an intimate knowledge of what the pro- 

 gressive farmer expects in a tractor. 



It is made by a company known the world over as pioneer 

 builders of motor trucks. 



The Chase Farm Tractor is ideally suited for eastern farm- 

 ing conditions. For hill and valley work and rough land it 

 has no equal, while its simplicity of construction and ease of 

 control renders it especially suitable for orchard work and 

 other di..cult plowing problems. 



It will handle a two gang, 14-inch, or three 12-inch plows 

 under any reasonable conditions, operating anywhere a verti- 

 cle corn binder can be successfully used. It will pull an 8%- 

 foot double acting Disc Harrow, a three-section Spring Tobth 

 Harrow, or a four-section Smoothing Harrow. Or it will 



handle equally well a 6-foot double acting Disc Harrow and 

 a two-section Smoothing Harrow in combination. 



The rear wheels being driven by individual clutches, the 

 Chase will work successfully under conditions where a tractor 

 operated by ordinary differential would stall or mine. For the 

 same reason on slippery ground where one wheel, only, can 

 get a grip, which would be sufficient to stop a machine oper- 

 ated by differential, the Chase will pull out and perform its 

 full duty without delay or hindrance. 



The driving wheels being outside the frame, It is possible 

 to use extension rims on the rear wheels, increasing their 

 normal width from 12 inches to 22 inches each. The front 

 wheel is so arranged that the axle extends beyond the yoke. 

 Two additional wheels placed on this extension axle, convert 

 the front wheel into a Roller, thereby permitting the tractor 

 to operate on plowed ground with perfect ease, acting as a 

 roller and clod crusher while harrowing or seeding, with no 

 danger whatever of packing the soil.
