HE|DER STANDARD
IN TRACTOR FIELD
Original One-man Tractor Has Many
Years of Success Behind 1t.

The Heider is the original one-man
all purpose tractor. It was the first
tractor on the market of the four
wheel, .four-cylinder type of construc-
tion-the type which is now recog-
nized as standard by the majority Of
tractor manufacturers. Ten years
of actual successful field work are be-
hind the Heider. While minor i'm
provements have been made from
time to time, the principles of con-
struction have never been changed,
according to the local Heider repre-
sentative.
The Heider possesses the greatest
feature ever put on tractor-the
special Heider friction transmission.
It is different from all other friction
types. The fiber is the driving men,
Der and not the disc. In starting loads
the metal disc, standing still, is
brought into contact with the revolv-
ing fiber and as a result it is impos-
sible to wear any flat places on the
fiber wheel. With this transmission,
all heavy work is done on the outside
diameter of the large metal disc, CIV
ing the greatest leverage when most
needed for heavy loads.
The friction transmission also per-
mits a wide variety of speeds, seven
forward and seven reverse. The ma
chine can be thrown from high speed
into reverse Immediately without the
slightest injury to any part and with
out stopping the load being pulled.

wheel. Heavier loads can be pulled
This type is not only very simple, but
delivers steadier power to the drive
wheel. Heavier loads can be pulled
with less lug equipment because the
footing is not destroyed by the pull
sating or jerking of the motor.
Requires Less Gears.
In designing the Heider, the COM
fort and convenience of the operator
has not been overlooked. The fuel
tanks can be filled right from the
cab, and the cab controls are so To-
Gated the operator can easily watch
and control implements being pulled

Two Sizes Are Made.
Heider Tractors are built for both
large and small farms (sizes 1920 and
GIG. The 1920 pulls three IA Inch
bottoms and has road speed Of one
to four miles an hour.
The 9-16 pulls two bottoms at the
regular plowing speed Of two and
one-half miles an hour. The No.
Rock Island two bottom tractor ploW
is made especially for this machine
and is directly attached to the tractor
With this combination, the farmer
can turn square corners, plow closer
to the fence and get into all the cor
ners. A big advantage at this time
when we must make every acre count
The Heider Tractor is manufactur
ed by the Rock Island Plow Co. at
Rock Island, III.
Simplicity of design, easy opera
tion and economical consumption o1
fuel are the points which make tht
Heider the leader of its class.
