A T THE late State Fair at Syracuse, the FIRST PREMIUM 
was awarded to Thomas D. Burkale for the best GRAIN 
REAPER, hi competition with Hussey’s and McCormick’s, (both 
present.) Since then, he has perfected another, containing many 
new and splendid improvements, which render it a roachin§.of great¬ 
er utility, strength and durability, than any ever before offered to the 
public. 
1st. It has a balance wheel on the top of the crank shaft, which 
aids the driving wheei in crossing water furrows, relieves the gear¬ 
ings from the violence of the crank motion, increases the effective 
force of the cutters, forms a convenient level for shifting the wheels 
for oiling, and by the uniform motion produced by its compensating 
power, gives a new character to the whole machine. 
2d. It cuts at any height required, and discharges the gram at the 
side or in the rear if preferred, by a few minutes change. 
3d. By means of a new guard of cast iron, (which will neither 
bend nor break,) neatly fitted to the knives, it cuts grain, timothy or 
clover seed, (wet or dry,) without clogging. In addition to these im¬ 
portant improvements, the frame is strong and compact, and lies 
above all the level of tire apron, in order to pass through gates and 
over water furrows, without hitting. 
The wheel is large, and works well on rough ground; the shifting 
gear, and the entire arrangement of the working parts, extremely 
neat and convenient, and the whole made of the best materials, and 
finished with great care. 
It has no reel to waste the grain, no pullies, straps, or loose harness 
to get out of order, but is strong and simple, just what the Farmer 
needs to do his work well, without the risk of loss by breaking down 
in the midst of his harvest. 
It is warranted to be thoroughly built, and to work well; and if 
any part proves defective and is returned, it is to be made good with¬ 
out charge; and the machine when sold, is made to work well, or the 
money returned. 
TERMS—Cash or approved notes. Orders should be sent in early, 
to give time for perfect work. 
SIZES. — No. 1, i feet 6 in. No. 2, 5 feet. No. 3, 5 feet 6 in. No 
4, 6 feet cut. 
Rurrall’s Reaper. 
As the REAPER has been in use during the past season only, the 
following testimonials from respectable farmers are offered: 
Wolcot, Nov. 1, 1850. 
I used one of Mr. Burrall’s new Reapers to cut about twenty acres 
of wheat last harvest. It requires bu* two horses, does its work well, 
cuts clean whether the grain be wet or dry, and leaves the sheaves 
in fine order for binding. I know no machine that runs lighter or 
makes better work. WILLIAM STUBBS. 
Phelps, -5th Sept., 1850. 
I hereby certify that I have seen Mr. Burrall’s new Grain Reaper 
thoroughly tried, and am satisfied that it can never be clogged, but 
will cut grain of all kinds, and clover seeds in all conditions. The 
Gearings and frame are uncommonly strong, and well arranged; 
and every part of the machine is got up in first rate order for conve¬ 
nience and durability. It requires no faster walk, or harder draft for 
horses, than common plowing. I have no hesitation in recommend¬ 
ing it as the best I have ever seen. WM. P. DIMICK. 
Benton Farm, Ontario county. 
I have one of Mr. Burrall’s new Reapers, and have tried it this fall 
for cutting clover seed. I have cut from 15 to 20 acres, and find it 
does the work well, and beyond my best expectations. It is easily 
shifted in a few minutes, so as to cut close to the ground, or at any 
height required, and never clogs even in the stoutest grass. It is very 
strong in all its parts, and very convenient for use. It requires but a 
moderate motion for the team, and may be worked by oxen as well 
as horses. I think it does not require as heavy draft as ordinary 
cross plowing. THOMAS BUTCHER. 
We the undersigned, have seen the machine at work, and fully 
concur in the above statement. P. COPELAND. 
WILSON BUTCHER, 
25th Oct., 1850. SYLVESTER JUDD. 
Seneca., 12th Sept., 1850. 
Mr. Burrall—Sir: I have used your new Grain Reaper this sea¬ 
son, and am not only entirely pleased with it, but perfectly convinced 
that it is the best I have ever seen, as it runs lighter, cuts better, and 
is far more convenient, especially on rough ground—it is thoroughly 
finished with brass boxes and steel couplings throughout. The con¬ 
struction and arrangement of the whole are exceedingly strong and 
durable, and by a very neat and ingenious contrivance, it is made to 
cut the grain at any height. 
I have no doubt of its entire success, and can confidently recom¬ 
mend it to the public as a very valuable improvement.

Rurrall’s Wheel Plows, 
Work well in all soils, and save about one-third of the draft. 3,500 
now in use, and demand steadily increasing. For sale, (wholesale
