    New Idea’s Wheel Rake
The quick ’n clean
hay machine
Use the Avco New Idea Speed Wheel Rake over any terrain
smooth, uneven, hilly or contoured—and it gets the hay other
rakes miss ... and gets it fast. Raking wheels feature indepen
dent spring counter-balancing so teeth follow ground contour.
Gentle action builds big fluffy windrows without shattering val
uable leaves. You can use the basic 5-wheel rake (B'4" width)
for the first cutting, then add 6th or 7th wheel for later cuttings.
Stop in and see this low cost rake for yourself!

New Idea’s Mow/ditioner
L
Cows can tell
the difference
That’s what farmers tell us: Mow and condition part of
your hay with a New Idea Mow/ditioner and the other
part with any other mower-conditioner —and your cows
will tend to pick the Mow/ditioner hay. Why? Because
cows don’t like “match-stick” broken stems. They do
like soft hay. The kind a New Idea Mow/ditioner makes.
This rugged 9-foot machine is the best all-around ma
chine you can buy for making quality hay. It features a
header so well balanced.:. and flotation so well con
trolled . . . that you avoid excessive knife and guard
damage, scalping and poor cutting. Swing-out shields
adjust to many positions for swaths or windrows of any
desired width.
Come on in and check out New idea’s Mow/ditioner.
You’ll see the difference in your hay—and chances are,
your cows will, too.

New Idea’s Belt Rake
For turning over
a new leaf...gently
Steady, positive, clean raking without noisy clatter' This is what
you get with the Avco New Idea belt drive rake Exceptionally
clean raking and minimum leaf shattering are the result of the
constant ratio between reel speed and forward travel. The
smooth, lifting rolling action of the tooth bars builds uniform
fluffy windrows . . . windrow fluffiness can be varied by tilting
the basket. Long lasting optional rubber Flex-joint teeth avail
able. And, for raking over rough terrain, there’s an optional
guage wheel that fits
on the frame end.
