WHY THE JOHN DEERE WAY OF MAKING HAY IS MOST PROFITABLE 
The John Deere Side-Delivery Rake 
with curved teeth and inclined frame is 
designed especially for making hay the 
John Deere Way, a method recognized 
by hay experts everywhere as the most 
profitable manner of curing ever devised. 
The John Deere Way of Making Hay 
is profitable because: 
1. It gives you a palatable, high- 
protein, leafy hay of good color 
and aroma, that will top the 
market. 
2. It enables you to put up your 
bay, when the weather is favor¬ 
able, in 24 hours or less. 
3. It makes it possible for you to 
take your hay through the cur¬ 
ing process without extra help. 
4. It adds to your profits twofold— 
, , . . by cutting down the labor cost 
and by giving you a high-quality product that demands the 
highest market price. 
You profit by using the John Deere Way, whether you feed your 
hay or send it to market. Stock fed high-protein hay made the 
John Deere Way will respond with increased milk flow and rapid 
gains in flesh. 
The remarkable success of the John Deere Way of Making Hay 
lies in the ability of the rake, by virtue of its special features— 
curved teeth and inclined frame—to place the leaves inside of 
loose, fluffy windrows where they are protected from the sun’s 
rays, so that they do not become brittle and shatter when the hay 
is handled.

JOHN DEERE DOUBLE-CYLINDER HAY LOADER 
WITH STIFF HITCH 
The spring floated gathering cylinder can be adjusted so that it will not pick 
up anything the mower bar has passed over. 
Gentle handling of the hay prevents waste through the loss of leaves and 
foliage, the principal source of food value, particularly in clover and alfalfa. 
From the time the hay is picked off the ground by the flexible gathering fingers 
until it is delivered on top of the load, the movement is steady 
and gentle, and the hay is protected against a blow or violent 
pressure. The result is unmatted, unbroken hay, retaining in 
the greatest degree the valuable parts, besides leaving the hay 
in excellent shape to be forked in the barn or on the stack. Ex¬ 
perience has proved that the John Deere is the 
most satisfactory loader for handling ripe clover 
or alfalfa for seed. It is also unequaled for har¬ 
vesting beans without shelling. 
Great Capacity 
The John Deere Double-Cylinder Loader suc¬ 
cessfully handles any quantity of hay—from the 
lightest swath to the heaviest windrow or large 
separate bunches of hay, bound or unbound 
sheaves or grain. The adjustments are not only 
ample, but entirely automatic. The special 
springs which control the opening at the lower 
end of the compressors give the proper pressure 
to both large and small quantities of hay as* it is 
delivered to the carrier. 
Light Draft 
The John Deere Loader is light in draft be¬ 
cause its running parts are slowly driven, its hay 
compression parts are automatically yielding, 
and its raking parts are floated and flexible, so 
that there can be no draft-increasing struggle 
with the hay or with the ground. This tends to 
relieve the horses of unnecessary burdens. 
Adjustable carrier delivers hay closer to rack in starting 
load. Saves work in windy weather. 
Works on Rough Ground 
This cylinder loader is field-worthy on rough or uneven meadows, and far superior to all others under such uniavor- 
able conditions. This is true because the gathering cylinder mount is flexible, cylinder is floated on springs, gather¬ 
ing fingers spring back and form a “sled-runner” contact on touching surface elevations, lifting the gathering cylinder 
softly over the obstructions. The fingers instantly straighten back to retain control of the hay and the cylinder 
is lowered for level work. These practical features enable the John Deere gathering cylinder to act automatically 
as its own gauge in following surface irrgularities, and it does this more perfectly than the loader which has a cylinder 
supported at some point ahead or behind the point being raked. 
Durable 
The John Deere Double-Cylinder Loader will last indefinitely with a minimum repair bill. 
The working parts are slow-driven and provided wfith automatic relief from all unusual strains. 
The steel frame is well braced; has hot-riveted corner braces. No bolts to lose out. 
The carrier is made of selected yellow pine and is provided with a steel link chain. Extra strong and does not 
stretch.
