Pneumatic tire efficiency prosid-
cd for tractors last year has now been
extended to farm machinery.
For years farm machines have
jolted slowly over rough fields, linz
tied in speed by the steel wheels
with which they were equi,s led; but
introduction of new combine
harvester, which cuts and threshes
grain in one operation and designed
for use with Goodyear tires, fore
casts revolution in farm machin-
cry design.
The low pressure tires on which
the combine is mounted minimize
shocks to such an extent that the
old speed for harvesting machinery
is stepped up considerably and the
capacity of the machine is in
creased, according to engineers of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
In addition to increasing the speed
of the machine, use of pneumatic
tires played an important part in
reducing its cost to figure appre-
Gladly lower than that of larger
combines.
This is an age of speed, de-
clared H. c. Merritt, manager of
the tractor division of the Allis-
Chalmers Mfg. Co., producers of
the combine. There is no rea-
son why the farm machinery in
dustry should sit back and allow
developments of present day engi-
neering to pass it by. We feel that
we should adopt new automotive
ideas in farm machinery, especial
ly when they not only reduce the
cost but also increase the output "

but 2400 pounds-a light load for
a tractor to pull on pneumatic
tires-and is smaller and more
compact than previous large ma
chimes. Due to the speed made
possible by the pneumatic tires,
however, it can do as much work
in a given length of time as larger
combines. An innovation is increas-
ing width of the threshir~ cylinder
to equal that Of the cutter bar.
The stalks of grain go directly into
the cylinder head first, and the
width of the straw stxeam is al
ways the same as the width of the
swath cut by the sickle.-an ideal
long sought by all designers of
threshing machinery in use since
the fail.
The smaller size of the combine,
coupled with the decreased amount
of power required to operate the
cutting, threshing and cleaning
mechanism make it possible for any
two-plow power-take-off tractor to
be used in its operation.
Air tired tractors which have
been in use for some months, and
now the air tired combine, set a
goal in the new era of farm mach
inery design, the ultimate purpose
of which is the lowering of crop
production costs and a reduction of
the farmers investment in equip
ment,' Merritt concluded.
The combine, which will harvest
soy beans as well as wheat, oats
and other grains, has met with
wide praise following demonstra-
tons before farmers, department
