The Cleveland will do anything that horses or mules can do and can go where they can't over gullies, ruts and ditches, through soft soil, wet clay, sand and gumbo. No sinking or floundering docs not pack the soil. Only one man is neeeed to run the Cleveland. 12 horsepower is developee at the drawbar and 20 horse at the pulley. Uncle Sam wants more farm products and you want the profits to be earned. You can re place the men you have lost with a Cleveland. Read What These Oregon and Washington Men Have to Say: Coburg.
