Bert fa^3
Now you can pick your bumper yields and save
corn every year with your 3-point hitch tractor. New
Oliver Model 6 gives you mounted picker-type "hitch
up-and-go” convenience
Adjustable snapping roll spacing lets you adjust
the gathering unit to fit every crop condition. Lets
you clear the gathering unit from the tractor seat...
on the go. Long snapping rolls and "live” points get
the down and leaning com. Swayback center elevator
reduces shelling, increases capacity of the gathering
unit.
Roller-type gathering chains are another Oliver
"exclusive” . . . twice as strong, wear three times as
long as ordinary kinds. 'WTfnT'
If you’re the fortunate owner of a
new Oliver Super 55 or similar 3-point
hitch tractor, be sure to see the new
Oliver Semi-Mounted Model 6 picker.
