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 hay, when 
the weather is favorable, in 24 hours or 
less. 
3. It makes it possible for you to take your 
hay through the curing 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 high¬ 
est 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

JOHN DEERE DOUBLE-CYLINDER HAY LOADER 
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 move¬ 
ment is steady and gentle, and the hay is protected against 
a blow or violent pressure. The result is unmatted, un¬ 
broken 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. Experience has proved 
that the John Deere is the most satisfactory loader for 
handling ripe clover or alfalfa for seed. It is also un¬ 
equaled for harvesting beans without shelling. 
Great Capacity 
The John Deere Double-Cylinder Loader successfully 
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 com¬ 
pressors 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 because 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. 
Works on Rough Ground 
This cylinder loader is field-worthy on rough or uneven 
meadows, and far superior to all others under such un¬ 
favorable conditions. This is true because the gathering 
cylinder mount is flexible, cylinder is floated on springs, 
gathering fingers spring back and form a “sled-runner” 
contact on touching surface elevations, lifting the gather¬ 
ing cylinder softly over the obstructions. The fingers in¬ 
stantly 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 automatic¬ 
ally as its own gauge in following surface irregularities, 
Adjustable carrier delivers hay closer to rack in starting 
load. Saves work in windy weather. 
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 in¬ 
definitely with a minimum repair bill. 
The working parts are slow-driven and provided with 
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 pr- 
vided with a steel link chain. Extra strong and does not 
stretch.
