I consider the Evans much the best machine of any on the market that I have seen, used or inspected, as it is much heavier and more substantially made, therefore it runs steadier and is nqt to easily thrown off the row on rough or hillside ground and it does not cut the potatoes as some makes do. It is a great labor saver, as a man can plant five acres a day with it and that is quite an item when the weather is not very favorable or hired help is scarce. All the repairs that I have bought in the three years was a new set of points. I have planted from ten to twenty acres every year since I have had it and find thall hat is one great point about a planter, it enables a person to handle about twice as many acres and do it easier than the old way.

We can prove that the Evans has no superior on earth. We can show you many letters from users expressing entire satisfaction The Evans cannot chop or mar the potatoes, because it has the right kind of feed. It Is the ONI.Y successful potato feed on the market and is found only on the Evans. It is light draft, simple in construction and easy to operate.
