ROSS IMPROVED ENSILAGE GUHER WITH TRAVELING FEED TABLE AND ALL STEEL BLOWER' 



The illustration represents the 

 Ross line of Silo Fillers especially 

 desig-ued for heavy work, such as 

 large Plantations or by Thresher- 

 men for jobbing work. 



liow Down, so that feeder stands! 

 on the ground instead of up on| 

 machine. Distance from grounds 

 to top of traveling table only 

 3 feet 9 inches. The most desir- 

 able machine made for conveni- 

 ence of the Feeder. 



Adjustable Bearings for Blower 

 Shaft. The merits of the adjust- 

 able bearing are known to all,^ 

 practical operators of machinery. 

 No excuse whatever for the Ross 

 Blower Bearings heating or run- 

 ning hard or consuming extra 

 power. 



Blower Casing', witli Swivel and Tilting' King's. Combination Toothed and Fluted Feed Rollers with Comb Bar Attachment. 

 Steel Shear Bar with Four Cutting' Bdg-es. This feature is accountable for the class of work turned out by the Ross. Start, 

 Stop and Reverse Iiever. This arrangement saves many a break and prevents delays of various natures. Travelingr Feed 

 Table. Folds up for convenience in moving from place to place and when storing away. Steel Cutting- Cylinder. This is a ^ 

 point that must not be overlooked. If saving of time and repairs is worth anything, the BOSS SIIiO FIZiIiEB is worth double , 

 the price of any other. Steel Blower. No manufacturer likes to hear of their "Cast Iron" Blowers exploding on large size 

 cylinder type Silo Fillers, but it will occur as long as it is made of Cast Iron. If our example was followed, and the Blower 

 made of SOLID STEEL, like THE BOSS, the welfare of Silo users would then be taken care of. Capacity, Durability, Sim- 

 plicity in Construction and Quality of ■Work have been the principal objects in the construction of Boss Silo Fillers. If 

 these claims are not convincing, order the BOSS SIIiO FZt^^EB and give it a trial. The results will be far more convincing 

 than our claims. Cutter with

ROSS IMPROVED ENSILAGE GUTTER WITH TRAVELING FEED TABLE AND BLOWER No. 12 amd 14 



The Nos. 12 and 14 Ross Silo Fillers are intended for the user who has small power ranging from 8 to 12 Horse Gasoline, 



and who from experience possibly, prefers this style of Silo Filler. The Ross Nos. 12 and 14 have all the important features 

 that the larger Ross Machines have, as shown above, except the following: 



Cutting Apparatus — The knife hubs are cast iron, the same as other makes of machines of this size. This is due to the 

 fact that the work for which they are intended, and the power used to operate them, does not require this extra strength. 



Blowing- Apparatus — The disc to which the fans are attached is cast iron. The blowing fans are "Steel" boiler plate. With 

 the exception of the disc being cast iron, the balance of the blowing apparatus is the same as on the larger machines. Guar- 

 anteed m every respect. 



Blower Casing- is cast iron in two parts securely bolted together. Equipped with new style pipe connection, including tho 

 swivel and tilting rings. This importan^t feature is the same as used on the larger machines. 

 Traveling- Feed Table — The same design is used on all Ross Silo Fillers. 



Stop, Start and Reverse Iiever exactly the same as used on larger Ross Silo Fillers. This device controls the Feed Rolls 

 and Traveling Feed Table. 



Method of Driving- Blower and Cutter — We use the reliable 3-pulley drive. This has proven to be the most practical 

 method in connection with the new Idler or Belt Tightener. 



IiOw Down and Folding- Traveling Table — The Folding Feature is valuable and convenient in many ways. Built low down ^ 

 means the feeder stands on the ground to feed machine, instead of getting up on the machine.
