Roderick Lean
Cutmorc Mower
Hay Making Simplified
With Standard Fordson Equipment
You cannot afford to lose time in the haying season.
There are few sections where the weather at haying
time is always ideal. That is the one time of year
when speed is the essence of good farming. It is no
uncommon happening for some farmers to lose
several tons of hay by a delay in getting it off the
ground.
Tl}is work is now speeded up by using the Fordson
with the Roderick Lean Cutmore Mower.
The CUTMORE is attached direct to the tractor
between the front and rear wheels in the position
where the driver can have perfect control over it.
The power is taken from the worm gear that drives
the rear wheels, so it is always even and dependable.
The CUTMORE makes hay cutting with the
Fordson a one-man job. There is ample power for
cutting the heaviest crops, including alfalfa, clover,
vetch, velvet beans, pea hay and lespedeza.
The cutter bar may be disconnected in a few
minutes, so that the tractor may be used for other
work. The draw bar is always available for pulling
a wagon, rake or other tool. Attached to your
Fordson, the CUTMORE means greater speed and
economy of handling your hay crop.
P, J. ROGERS, Covington, Ga.
If yoa want to taco all you relite, equip your farm
with STANDARD FORDSON EQUIPMENT.
