Tillivator 
A NEW VASTLY IMPROVED 
MACHINE TO PLOW HARROW 
AND CULTIVATE ALL IN ONE 
OPERATION. Built in Europe where 
it has been in use for many years. This 
machine is operated on an entirely dif¬ 
ferent principal, than is plowing; it is 
equipped with tines and knives, that ro¬ 
tate rapidly, developes 5 h.p. at 1800 
r.p.m. It CHURNS and PULVERIZES 
your soil. If you wish to apply manure 
to your land, by ordinary plowing, you 
turn all your manure that has been 
spread on top of the land, to the bottom 
of the furrow, and the next season you 
turn it up again, but in “Tillivating” you 
spread your manure in the ordinary 
way, and it is all chopped, shredded and 
thoroughly mixed and incorporated in 
every part of your soil from top to bot¬ 
tom, of your tilled ground, and is there¬ 
fore available to all kinds of plants, the 
shallow rooted as well as deep rooted 
plants, the roots find plant food where- 
ever they reach. As manure has more 
functions than that of plant food alone, 
all these functions become more oper¬ 
ative, when you till with the Tillivator. 
There are no “air pockets” as result 
when you turn over a furrow with a 
plow, and there is no “plow sole” where 
the plow rides and cuts away the fur¬ 
row. With the Tillivator in operation, 
the knives and tines rotating rapidly, 
cut, tear and shred, all that it contacts. 
Largely used by Nurserymen, for root 
pruning of Evergreens, and cultivating, 
as the tines may be regulated at any 
depth desired, and will make a fine, pul¬ 
verized mulch an inch or two or can be 
set to plow as deep or deeper than 
ordinary plowing. Used by many large 
Greenhouses for shredding and mixing 
their soils. Invaluable to truck farms, 
bulb growers, florists, orchardists, grape 
and berry growers. Wonderful for use 
by landscape men, in grading and plant¬ 
ing lawns, in fact, it is one of the most 
useful machines we have ever owned.
