f ' the Champion Draw Cut Mower
Drawing the finger bar of a mower from a point ahead in
stead of pushing it fr6ra behind causes the master wheels to
press harder ou the ground, adding .to their traction and giving
the machine 'more" power. -" The Champion draw cut is the only
front cut mower which draws the finger bar entirely, 'and con
sequently it has more power for hard cutting than others. , It ;
was the first "draw cut" . to win a wide reputation,' and is to-day
tho only machincof this type on the market, because it was the
first and is yet the only mower in -which the draw cnt principle
is combined with modem methods of construction and with the ;
modern conveniences for operation and adjustment..
While a new and improved machine, the Champion draw
cut is far from an experiment. It was Introduced in 1890, and
each season' haa witnessed a large increase in sales, until they
have grown to vast proportions, r " For 1903, the master wheels
have been increased in height, and the machine has been im
proved in several details. It is the draw cut principle which
gives the Champion its great cutting power, and this in connec
tion with its strength, convenience of operation, and adjust
ments for taking tip wear when it occurs are what have given its
great popularity : , : - -
