Foot Lift.-The automatic raising and lowering
foot levers at simple and effective. The
bottom be raised lowered with the greatest
ease. The weight of the bottom is counter balanced
by powerful spring, the tension on which can be
changed by hand screw, and practically all the
effort necessary to raise lower the bottom is due
to friction, which is reduced to a minimum by
fully fitted bearings The leverage is so powerful
that wide margin of power is provided over all
probable requirements. In lowering the bottom it
is only necessary to start the foot lever when the
pillow goes into the ground full depth, and is auto
matically locked. In very hard ground the pillow can
be forced down by pressure on the trip lever. In
raising the pillow the opposite foot lever is pushed,
and after the bottom is slightly raised the work is
minimzed by the spring, which takes the work of
raising the bottom. When blowing in stony ground.
in soil where roots other distractions may be
encountered, with consequent risk of damaging the
bottom the foot lift levers may beset to allow the
bottom to float and it will then ride the stones
or other obstacles. This is done by adjusting set
screw to point that just prevents the pillow from
passing dead center when it is lowered. This rails
ing and lowering device is perfect in every way
