We could write this ad by just telling you in
the owners own words what this wonderful
little geared-to-the-ground Tractor is doing for
ranchmen in Oregon and Washington.
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.
