The Machine of 1862 will stand any test that mSy be
applied. Our Guard and Patent Cleaner efectually
prevents choking, no matter what the condition Of the
grass, while our new divider point separates badly
lodged and tangled clover or grass where other ma
chimes fail.
There is also a great advantage in our serrated sickle
edge over the smooth, as it does not require sharpening
so often, thus saving time. Our sickle will frequently
run through an entire harvest without once grinding,
while the smooth edge must be ground once each day,
il not Oftner With a smOth edge the 1raught increases
as the knife becomes dull. Our draught Is uniform,
and in -the repeated trials during the season Of 1860 81,
proved far lighter than single Mowers, cutting at the
same time from twelve to eighteen inches wider.
Our Mower can be used with or without the reel, this
is iuportant, as without the reel it weighs but about
$40 pounds.
In addition TO the very liberal warrantee given to
all purchasers, we would say as heretofore, that farmers
who may desire it, are at liberty to work our machine
through the harvest, with any other, and keep and pay
for the one preferred.
