Gentlemen: Having purchased a Heider Tractor we feel it our duty to relate to you a few. of the reasons for our perfect satisfaction. We have plowed over 110 acres Without' cleaning a spark plug or removing a valve—have had no trouble in starting even on the frostiest mornings, always purring along with an even power. She's got the "pep." We plowed 6 inches through the heaviest kind of quack grass and she walked right along with three 14-inch plows. On the fields where there was no quack, 8 and 9 inches was the usual depth. When we first run the tractor we accomplished splendid work plowing rolling land on aside hill with plenty of quack grass besides. The friction transmission, in our opinion, is the only transmission to have on a tractor. The fibre on our engine is worn very little and we in tend to run it another season. The Heider will go any place,'turn sharp corners, at the same time pulling a heavy load. We run an 8-roll shredder with it. This was mere play for the Heider. We plowed in the rain with the Heider while our 5-horse gang was compelled to stop. We will be glad to recommend the Heider Tractor., to any prospective purchaser. .' !^f"^, Yours very truly.,, -'«, M&^l J- Chapman & Sonl'f?
