Watch the way it handles Its Two-Bottom plow in all A
kinds of soR. it hustles every Job with extra traction
and reservt power. . 5 " ■
Ten-inch tires on ton-inch rims put more of the titoi
in contact with the ground —for increased traction.
Slower low gear and optional Two-Clutch control give
unusual power takfe-eff capacity.
You ought to see this tractor work. Give us a ring
and we will let you try it in your fields.
