Dear Sir:
You ask me what / think OF the

as for myself I think it is the only
practical tractor for the farmer. Ny
reason is this. 1t is SO simple and SO
easy to handle, and you can put it in a
place that horse can go, and many
places be can't go. There is not much
to it, and what there is, is power.
As for the actual weight it can pull,
| do not know. / pulled separator
for my neighbor, G. G. Frost. He
said that weighed 1000 lbs., and the
rear wheels we're miring near 6 inches
in the ground, and pulled it up very
steep grade and l could not tell that it
was behind me.
/ went over "a acres OF wheat land
last fall, both ways, with two 8-foot
section harrows behind it, a two-man
log on each harrow, and 16-foot log
behind the harrows, in II days, and
used Is gallons OF gas. IL to IL gallons
OF gas will break about s acres of
ground on an average.
You can do anything almost with the
Cleveland Tractor-plow, barrow, disc
and log, and turn as short almost as
you can with team.
Yours respectfully.
