and stalls,
piles mean
hard work. It must nil ho loaded on hih
wai;nns. It must bu raked off in piles in tha
fields. Then every forkful must be shaken
apart and spread.
Compare that old-fashioned method with the
I11C spreader way. You pitch the maniiro
into the spreader box, only waist hiuh, drive
cut and the machine dues all the rest. And
it spreads evenly and far loss waste-fully.
I H C Manure Spreaders
are farm necessities. The man who uses one
will get the price of it back in increased crops
before its newness has worn off.
Every detail and feature counts. They do
best work always and stand every strain for
years. They are made in all styles and sizes,
for small farms and lare, low and hiuh ma
chines frames of braced and trussed steel.
Uphill or down, or on the level, the apron
drive assures even spreading, and the covering
of corners is assured by rear axle differentials.
In all styles the rear axle is placed so that it
carries near three-fourths of the load. This,
with the wide-rimmed wheels with Z-shaped
lugs, makes for plenty of tractive power.
Winding of the beater is prevented by largo
diameter and the beater teeth are long, strong
and chisel pointed.
The I II C spreader lines will interest you.
See them at the local dealer's. Get catalogues
from him, or write us.
