II. L. MooRg, Respected Friend,
Before saying anything about the
Haymaker, will refer briefly to my ex-
perience with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Thrcshers
and Horse Powers, two combined Reap
ers and Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece Of
machinery have had on my farm. On
its introduction here | was induced DO
try one, Notwithstanding my repugnance
to its mysterious II otion, and the result
was my utter surprise at the case with
which heavy and even wecdy grass falls
before so tiny machine, and as a lawn
Mower, | have not seen its equal, cut
ting as it does close under trees and
up to shrubs and plants. The expenses
80 far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, half-a-dozen sections, which are
still on hand. Ny man says he has one
fault with the Haymaker, it does not
make noise enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence I've has to
walk behind his team.
