A NEW VERSATILE MACHINE THAT WILL DO FOUR JOBS 
Cut Grass — Alow Weeds — Transport Itself—Plow Snow 
T HE Parkmaster is a definite answer to the present day problem of trying to maintain an expanded acreage with a 
lowered budget. Here is a new and marvelously efficient machine with a maximum capacity of 68 acres per day—- 
equivalent to the amount of work that can be done by eight to ten power mowers or twenty-five to thirty hand mowers. 
But that is not all, for in addition to cutting fine lawn it will also mow tall grass, weeds and rank growth of any kind with 
the thoroughly efficient five-foot sickle bar, and on top af that, it will transport itself from place to place on hard sur¬ 
faced roads and climb a standard eight-inch curbstone. 
The design and engineering of this master mower has required eight years of development. It was in 1930 that the 
first successful lifting type tractor mower was built, which was of the three-unit type, shown on the preceding pages. 
From then until the present time the machine has undergone constant refinement and improvement until now from a per¬ 
formance standpoint it is a highly efficient and dependable piece of mechanism. 
All over the country there has been a tremendous increase in the number of lawn acres. The expansion of school grounds and park systems 
has been so great that it is no longer possible to cut them with the smaller mowers that were amply large enough five years ago. Today a ma¬ 
chine has to be not only of large capacity, but it has got to be versatile enough to handle more than one job. The Parkmaster is the newest 
type and will find a large market because it will do four jobs and do them well—cut grass—mow weeds—transport itself—plow snow. 
This picture shows a front angle view 
of the Parkmaster with all the mowers 
raised off the ground and ready for 
transporting. Pay particular attention 
to the two separate lifting devices. 
The vertical hand lever at the right ot the driver s seat raises the two front and one rear mowers simultane¬ 
ously. The vertical lift directly back of the driver's seat raises the two outside mowers. 
Bear in mind that the lifting mechanisms and the five mowers can be disconnected from the tractor in 
twenty minutes' time. This permits the Parkmaster to be used for snow plowing in the winter or general utility 
work at other times. 
In every respect the 1938

Speeds: 1-3 iow, 3-7 second, 
1 5 in high gear. 
Q. How fast can this machine

five miles per hour. Under 
favorable conditions 8-10 miles 
per hour when Trojan high¬ 
speed mowers are used. 
O. What is the maximum ca¬ 
pacity of this machine? 
A. With five mowers and at 
six miles per hour, the Park- 
master has a maximum capacity 
of 67.88 acres per day. 
Q. What grades will it climb? 
A. With dual pneumatics, 
which are what we recommend, 
the Parkmaster will easily climb 
a 25% grade. 
Q. Why do you put two mow¬ 
ers in front of the wheels and 
the rest behind? 
A. Because you get a better 
job of cutting and the machine 
is more easily balanced. 
Q. Will the mowers clear a 
standard height curbstone when 
raised? 
A. Yes, easily. 
O. Can a sickle bar be used 
with these reel mowers?
