Being close coupled to the imple-
ment, the Moline Universal Tractor
backs as readily as it goes forward,
and turns in a 16-foot circle. 1t
steers so easily that boy or woman
can handle it as well as a man.
With the Moline-Universal one
man can take care of all the require
ments on the average size farm.
Flowing with two-bottoms, the
Moline Universal Tractor does as
much work in one day as the ordi-
nary three-plow tractor, due to the
higher speed at which it operates, 31z
miles an hour. 1t has the power to
run at this high speed because all of
its. weight is traction weight-all of
it is converted to pull.
The light weight of the Moline
Universal Tractor, 1880 pounds, and
its high clearance-greatcr than that
of the average cultivator-make it
perfectly adapted for cultivating. 1t
isn't the kind of tractor that does
your blowing and seed bed prepara-
ton and then rests while your horses
do the planting, cultivating and har-
vesting.
Mechanically, the Moline-Univer-
sal is the most modern tractor built,
containing more refnements and i'm
provements than any other tractor on
the market.
