; N the spreaderless farm the thoutrht
hard work. It must nil be loaded on high
wagons. It must be raked off in piles in the
fields. Then every forkful must be shake a
apart and spread.
Compare that old-fashioned method with the
I II C spreader way. You pitch the manure
into the spreader box, only waist high, drive
out and the machine does all the rest. And
it spreads evenly and far less wastefully.
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 large, low and high 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-shapci
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 yon.
See them at the local dealer's. Get catalogues
from him, or write us.
