PERFORMANCE
CAREFUL PERSONAL ATTENTION GIVEN ALL ORDERS^
The tractor is designed as a two-plow machine and will
pull two 14-inch plows in the atiffest soil. It will maintain a
drawbar pull of 1800 pounds at plowing speed. In low gear a
drawbar pull of 2500 pounds is obtained. The fuel consump­
tion varies with conditions; two and one-half gallons of kero
sene per acre being a fair average. The amount of ground
plowed also depends ott conditions; eight acres in ten hours
would strike an average.
