And above all else the Utilitor does not mar the turf 
or eat when idle. It can be used to haul small loads, work 
in the garden and do many things around a suburban home 
or large estate at less expense than a horse.

a tree. 
( Center) Note the position of the 
machine and cutters. 
{Below) Completing the circle. 
After the operator gets the 
proper distance marked, an easy 
pull on the power control and a 
simple push on the foot control, 
keeps the machine close to the 
tree. IVe know of no other power 
machine that has the flexibility 
of the Utilitor unit. 
'JpHERE are many good horse drawn and power driven 
A lawn mowers on the market, but none to our knowledge 
that has the unusual flexibility of the Midwest Utilitor. 
When our engineers laid out this equipment they were 
guided largely by the experience of well known grounds 
keepers, park commissioners and golf course managers. 
Experience has shown that a power machine that will 
do better work than horse drawn equipment must be un¬ 
usually flexible on rolling ground and able to negotiate 
close up to trees, shrubbery, flower beds, etc. 
Tests have proved that the Utilitor cuts about three 
times as fast as a two horse outfit. What two horses will 
do in thirty hours this outfit will do in twelve. 
We will be very glad to send you, without obligations, 
our new booklet, “Mowing Lawns with the Utilitor”.
