The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle
The Simplest Spreader Made
Power to drive the beater is taken from
the rear axle and operates through a
planetary transmission (similar to that
used on automobiles) mounted on the
rear axle ^eithin the beater.
Light Draft—Few Part*
There are at least two reasons why the
John Deere Spreader
is the lightest draft'
spreader made. One
is that it has four sets
of roller bearings two
in the front wheels
Roller Bearing and two on the main
axle and beater. They reduce the draft
materially.
Another reason is that the John Deere
Spreader has so few parts. It has about
ISO less types of castings than the sim
plest spreader heretofore made. It is
only natural that the fewer parts a ma
chine has, the easier it will operate.
When the John Deere Spreader is out
of gear, it is simply a wagon.
Easy to Load
The first three feet manure is
lifted with
an ordinary spreader are easiest ot all.
The real hard worlc is from this height to
the top of the ordinary spreader.
The John Deero Spreader is low down.
It ia only necessary to lift each forkful

Non-Rating Ajrom
By tho use of a rery eimpla locking i*
vice inside the ratchet feed, the apron le
positively locked against racing when
apreading up hill or over exceedingly
rough ground. The result is that when
spreading with the John Deere Spreader
the manure ia always spread evenly.
This is not possible on any other ratchet
feed spreader made.
Chano*of Feed
Change of feed is accomplished by &
double woe which is moved from the seat
This shoe determines the number of teeth
the ratchets engage at each stroke. The
John Deere Spreader has a variation ot
from five to twenty-five londs to the acre.
