ORCHARD CULTIVATORS 



60 



No. 41 Universal Cultivator working on the farm of Mr. Kirkwood, 

 East Maitland, New South Wales, Australia 



THE TEETH. The regular equip- 

 ment is 2^ X 10-inch reversible steels, but 

 other widths and also sweeps, furrowers, 

 irrigation steels, alfalfa steels and hoe 

 steels can also be supplied, thus adapting 

 it perfectly for cultivating orchards and 

 for use in vineyards and hop yards and 

 for renovating alfalfa fields. An especial 

 favorite with orange growers. 



IMPROVED SWEEPS. Made to 

 cut 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18 or 24 inches wide. 

 Fig. 3 shows 5-inch (price, 28c.), which are 

 excellent for level work and dry coun- 

 tries. Ten-inch (38c.) are death to Can- 

 ada thistles. 2^-inch teeth in front and 

 10 or 12-inch sweeps in rear also make an 

 excellent combination. 



THE TREE AND FRUIT SHIELD 



Fig. 4 



Fig. 3 



is placed on the right to be used next the 

 tree row and prevents injury to fruit and 

 limbs. 



THE STANDARDS are adjustable 

 up, down and sidewise. Are heavy and 

 high carbon steel. 



SIDE HITCH FOR TWO HORSES. 



With the tongue set fifteen inches to the 

 left (Fig. 3), the tool is arranged for 

 working under low-branching trees for 

 orange and orchard cultivation. This 

 creates some side draft, but it can be 

 largely overcome by setting the teeth shal- 

 lowest next to the trees, and thus saving 

 the roots. 



THE TONGUE is steel and is hinged 

 to assist in adjusting for depth and for 

 large and small teams. 



Charles E. White, Nurseries and Orchards, Penrose, Col., writes March 19, 1913: "I own 

 one of the No. 41 Orchard lools and like it very much."
