Your tractor doesn’t have to hoist and drag it across an obstruction. Yet, it’s rigid enough, strong enough; heavy enough to cut the toughest surface. Buy an all-purpose Oliver and you’ll have full angle cutting, thorough shredding of trash, accurate depth control in any soil. You’ll cross water- ways, travel to and from fields easier. You’ll get prelubricated, sealed-for hfe disc and wheel bearings. Built in four sizes— to 13 feet. Chas. J. McComsey & Sons Hickory Hill, Pa. W. G. Hershey & Son Manheim. R.
