It is the only machine adapted to the all-around service that the Sher man County farmer needs. It is used for'breaking sod and plowing, discing, harrowing, and drilling, without packing the ground; harvesting, threshing and general stationary power work, road grading, ditching, and freighting. If stands the daily grind and wears well. It uses kerosene or distillate more economically than any of the so-called “oil fuel” tractors.
