KETCHUM’S 
COMBINED HARVESTER FOR 1858 , 
"W X T FI (Ft (E E m, I 
T’HE IMPROVEMENTS ON THIS CELEBRATED MACHINE 
lor 1858 will render it the most desirable machine ever offered to 
tlie public. Among these improvements are tlie following: 
1st—An expanding Reel, very simple, and ingeniously arranged 
so as to bo readily attached, and is propelled by tlie main shaft. 
2d—A new, strong and well-braced guard, which will not clog. 
3d.—An adjustable Roller with a lever, by which the driver wliiie 
in Ins seat can elevate tlie finger-bar and hold it in any desired posi¬ 
tion, for transportation, to pass over obstructions, and to aid in back¬ 
ing or turning corners. 
4th. A Roller in tlie outer shoe, on wiiich tlie finger-bar rests, 
which obviates all side draft and very much lessens the direct draft 
Tiie SIMPLE mowers have wrought-iron frames, with all of the 
other improvements except it Reel With these improvements the 
draft ol tiie KbtChum Machine is as light as any machine known, 
and by tlie test with the Dynamometer at Syracuse, by the U. S. Ag. 
Society last July, the draft of the Reaper was more than one-quarter 
less than any other of the 13 Reapers on trial This result is obtained 
by enlarging the main wheel for Reaping, which lessens tho motion of 
the knives and tiie actual draft of tiie machine fully, one-quarter. 
Tho very best material is used throughout, and no pains or 
money are spared to make the Ketcuum Machine what the 
farmer needs. 
Sample machines can be seen nt all tiie principal places, and per¬ 
sons are invited toexaminethem before buying any other— remember¬ 
ing tiiatTHE BEST IS ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. 
POINTS OF EXCELLENCE. 
AS A MOWER. 
1. Easy Draught is attained, without any loss of momentum and 
power, which are essential in order to cut grass under all circum¬ 
stances. 
2. The Machinery and Gearing is so simple that any person call un¬ 
derstand and manage tiie machine. 
3. Great Strength Is attained in eveiy part, a feature which is indis¬ 
pensable in machinery to bo used in rough field work. 
4- Durability is tui important feature, as none but cast and wrought 
iron ot the very best quality is used. 
5. All Side Draught is obviated by placing the pole in tiie centre of 
draught ils near as possibib. 
6. The Open Knife or Hole in the Knife Sections is one of tlie most 
valuable patents, to prevent clogging, and belongs exclusively to tlie 
Ketchum Machine. 
7. The Location of the Fhiger-Tlar, below the frame, and on a lino 
with tho shaft of tlie main wheel, secures an uniform cut, and causes 
the finger-bar to follow tlie tread of tlie wheel over uneven ground 
8. The Optn Space, between the heel of tiie cutters mill the main 
wheel, secured by an arrangement which is patented, prevents tho 
clogging of tho machinery by the cut grass on the return swatlis.— 
Other machines have a dead point here, shoving and piling up tho 
gra-ss in front, or rilling over it and raising up the finger-bar, and some, 
infringing Ketchum's Patent, secure this same space, so ini)iortaJit, 
by locating tlie finger-bar before or behind (lie main wIms-I, although it 
is apparent that a location on tlie lino of tlie shaft secures many ad¬ 
vantages not otherwise attained. 
9. The Shield J’lale, or extension of the sho* upward and forward, 
from tlie heel of tlie finger-bar, is important to equalize tlie draught 
and prevent the cut grass from piling up in front of and clogging tlie 
machine. This is patented by Mr. Ketchum, and belongs exclusively 
to the Ketchum Machine. 
10. The Hinged 'Track Clearer upon tlie outer end of tlie finger-bar, 
idso patented by Mr. Ketchum, is of great importance in cutting 
heavy grass, to separate the cut from tlie uncut grass, and to prevent 
clogging. 
11. The Roller upon the Unger-Bar, with a lever, ingeniously arrang¬ 
ed, so 11 sdo sustain tlie iinger-bar to move from the Held; also, to Ixiar 
part of its weight while mowing, and all of it while in tlie act ol 
backing. 
12. The Finger-Bar is made of wrought iron, of the proper width to 
prevent tiie cut grass from lodging thereon, and tiie gross is always 
EVENLY SPREAD. 
13. 'The Height of the Cut is readily adjusted by means of tho polo 
bolts. 
14. An F/pial Balance of the mncliine is always maintained, by 
means of tlie seat and other arrangements, so that tiie machine will 
not tip over, and will always hear lightly upon the team. 
15. One person and even a boy, can always manage Ketchum's 
Machine. Many others, particularly in heavy gross, require two 
persons. 
16. The Speed of Team Required is mi ordinary walk of a common 
iami team, and in many instances oxen have been used on Ketchum's 
Machine. 
THE REAPER COMBINED MACHINE. 
Tlie Mower is quickly changed to n Reaper, by enlarging tlie main 
wheel by means ol circular sections, linked to tho rim, and adding a 
changeable platform, for tlie rear or side delivery of tlie grain. 
The following are some of tlie peculiar advantages of tiie Combined 
Machine over all others: 
1. Without any Change of Gear tlie knives are elevated and their 
motion is reduced. This is importaut, as much greater motion of tho 
knives is required ill gross than in grain, and Uioir speed is decreased 
about one-third. 
2. 'The Draught of the Machine is also lessened about one-third, 
which is of great importance in cutting grain. This is effected by 
enlarging IIiu main wheel, ami lessening the motion of the knives. 
3. The Convertibility of the Platform, for side or rear delivery of tlie 
grain, is veiy desirable for fanners who wish to leave some kinds ol 
grain in tlie gavel 
4. The, Strengthening Bar of the Platform, which is patented, is ar¬ 
ranged so as to give any required degree of firmness to tlie platform, 
while reaping. 
5. 'Hie Reaper is Perfectly Balanced Tlie miser's sent, resting upon 
tho main wheel, tnkeH all pressure from tlie team, and tiie driver’s scat 
balances tlie platform, and takes off all side draught. 
6. The Cutting Arrangement is Perfect The machine will not clog in 
gram or grass, wet or dry. 
7. 'The Compactness of the Combined Machine, is not its least recom¬ 
mendation, and a light pair of horses can easily handle tile inuchinc, 
and cut from 10 to 15 acres of grass or grain per day.
