VAN BRUNT FERTILIZER GRAIN DRILL 
Furnished With Wood or Steel Wheels 
Sizes—7-inch feeds; 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 discs, shoes or hoes; 8-inch feeds; 6, 8 discs, shoes or hoes 
Seed is Covered Properly—Rapid Growth is the Result 
Every kernel or seed is oonveyed by metal tubes from the feed to the bottom of the furrow before any soil can drop 
back. The seed beats the dirt. The Van Brunt Disc Drill boots make this possible. They are brought forward so 
that they lie entirely within the surface of the disc. The seed passing through does not come in contact with the up¬ 
turning disc surface. 
Grass Seed Attachment 
All Van Brunt High Wheel Grain Drills can be supplied with grass seeders, which can be used either for drilling or 
broadcasting clover, timothy, alfalfa, and other similar seeds. It is attached to the front of the grain box and can 
be used at the same time seed is being planted and fertilizer distributed.

VAN BRUNT LIME AND FERTILIZER SOWER 
WITH OSCILLATING AGITATORS 
The Van Brunt Lime and Fertilizer Sower is built in the standard size to cover eight feet of ground, with a carrying 
capacity of ten bushels. For strength, durability and simplicity it is unexcelled. 
This sower has 36-inch steel wheels with staggered spokes, heavy, wide rims, removable dust-proof boxings, and com¬ 
pression grease cups with chilled wheel bearings. 
The hopper is exceptionally strong, of selected well-seasoned matched lumber; steel ends with angle steel corners, 
thoroughly braced; close-fitting covers and removable screens. 
Shifter levers on rear of hopper are provided with feed gauge lock, so that when set to sow a certain amount, the 
feeds may be closed entirely or quantity reduced when desired, and thrown back to the original position, avoiding 
the necessity of resetting the feed gauge. 
Each ground wheel is a drive wheel, driving one-half of the machine. There are no gears or chains to break or 
get out of order. 
Ground wheels are provided with pawls and ratchets, permitting the machine to be turned or backed without 
affecting the feeds, and one or both ends of the machine may be disengaged from the feeding mechanism in an instant 
by releasing the pawls. This feature is very desirable in going to and from the field, or in sowing strips less than the 
width of the machine. 
REMOVABLE ROTARY WING FEED—Even Distribution Assured. 
The Van Brunt Lime and Fertilizer Sower is built with an improved rotary wing feed (none better). It has been 
thoroughly tested and is adapted to distribute crushed lime rock, slacked lime, all brands of standard commercial 
fertilizer, nitrate of soda, land plaster, granulated calcium chloride, dry wood ashes, etc., in any desired amount 
from 150 to 8,000 pounds per acre, according to bulk and weight of material. 
The feed shafts are in two parts. By shifting one lever, both feed shafts may be lifted out and the hopper easily 
and thoroughly cleaned. 
The double feed shaft with direct wheel drive allows the operator to disengage both feeds or transporting, or 
one-half the machine independent.
