OLIVER 18
the Combine with Everything!
~IMT
Everything you want in a puli-type<—and more!
Here’s a full 7-foot-cut combine, with an auger
header that eliminates drapers. And matching its
bite are big-rcapacity units all the way through the
machine to handle,'your heaviest grain and bean
crops.
This Oliver 18 saves more from the start. Its
semi-revolving reel, with bats going straight down
into the grain, reduces shattering losses. Next, 90%
of the threshed grain is stopped at the cylinder by
Oliver’s famous "Man Behind the Gun” before it
can mix with straw. An unusually long straw rack
gets the rest.
Other grain- and time-saving units
include the 25-bushcl tank, adjustable
concaves, swinging drawbar, large
cleaning unit. Engine or PTO model.
See the Oliver 18 before you buy.
