J. I. Case Plows
The best Plow on the market. It
will pay you to investigate its merits.
SHAPE-Mould has good turn at the top and end, thus making it a good
coverer. Is built high at the shin and joint. It is slow, easy turn. Share con
forms perfectly in shape with the mould. Landside is long, medium in height
and sloping in shape.
MATERIAL Mould and landside are made of the best quality of soft-steel-center
steel. Shares are, as a rule, made of solid crucible cast steel, with
natural temper. We can, however, furnish shares made of soft-center steel
when so ordered.
CONSTRUCTION All parts and braces are of sufficient strength to stand
heavy work. Mould is doubled at the shin the same as the stubble bottoms, and
share is reinforced at the point in the same manner. It is put together by skilled
labor and with the best 01 appliances.
USE Wherever Scotch Clipper plows are used this plow cannot fail to please.
While this bottom is distinctively a general purpose shape, and will do very
nice work in turning tame sod, there are some places, such as low prairie ground,
particularly when very wet, in which it. will scour and turn perfectly, doing much
better work than any stubble shape.
Its shape is such that it has proved to be a particularly good plow to turn
soils which have a gumbo sub-soil, such as are found in drained, swampy places,
and in bottom lands. It is now used in many fields in which no other plow was
ever known to scour, and turning the soil without a particle of trouble.
Our stock is large and we are making prices that will suit.
