This machine weighs only 1300 pounds, which la a feature to be considered on hillsides and .soft ground. The machine is built low enough to clear the branches of the trees, being 4 feet S inches from the ground. The tank and cover for the engine are so constructed aa to serve as a platform for the operator to stand on while sprayinic down the calyx. Again it dif fers from the first machines in that it is very abort, beine but i feet 8 Inches wheel base, making it possible to turn short. This Spray Outfit, with the Fair banks - Horse one - horsepower engine, direct connected to a special pump de signed to give 200 pounds preaanre con tinuously thrones two hose connection and noaalea from a tank: of ISO Rations rapacity, appeals to the fruitgrowers because it embodies every feature they regard as important.
