A cultivating tractor
high on clearance,
low on fuel consumption
Handling up to 3 plow bottoms smartly, a ‘'1020"
packs all the tillage power needed on smaller acre
ages .. . and it’s just the power needed to backstop
higher h,p. tractors on big spreads. But the “1020" is
no “spendthrift” with its power on lighter work.
Throttled backfor economy, the engine runs smoothly
—moving along effortlessly with a 2- or 4-row cultiva
tor. And under the tractor there’s lay-by clearance
up to 24 inches. Let’s arrange a field test of the
“1020's” full range of usable power on your farm
soon. Credit available.
