Watch it pulverize the hardest ground, smooth your
roughest field into a mellow, level seedbed. See it
roll over rocks and stumps with ease.
A semiflerible frame and spring-cushioned gangs
permit the No. 241 to climb over a stone like a cater
pillar. No damage to blades or other parts. 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, scaled-for
life disc and wheel bearings. Built
in four sizes— 9% to 13 feet.
