Y. 3LACK-WHITE-TAN II • KEEP YOUR SHOES HEATH ■AM: .-Yd ( o'” .a A Low Spreader With Plenty of Clearance ’V'OU will notice at once on seeing the Low 1 20 ch Century spreader how low the box is. The top of the box is only 43 inches from the ground. This point is valuable. The waist-high box will save you all of the hardest work of loading because the real strain of pitching manure comes in lifting it above the waist line. Still there is ample clearance underneath for work in rough fields and soft yards. And you will have no trouble because of lack of traction. The drive wheels of the Low 20th Century are well under the load, supporting the greater part of it. This position of the rear wheels also lightens the draft. A third point is that it does away with the tendency to sag that would be present if the box were suspended between front and rear axles. Drop in at the nearest dealer's where you can see the Low 20th Century —a trouble-proof, sure-satisfaction spreader.
