It's the faster work, greater capacity and proved economy of Case tractors—plus still greater savings of time with the new Case hydraulic implement control. It's really FAST, lifting and lowering, to save you time on the turns. It's also as slow as you like, for accurate adjustment of plow depth, disk angle or cutting height. In a Case tractor you get the eager, steady power of a long-stroke, heavy-duty engine—Case-built to run long hours without faltering, long years with consistent fuel economy. You get gear speeds to make the most of its power with every implement. You get lugging power to pull through tough spots. Demand proof on all these points. Let your Case dealer demon strate in your own fields how much time you can gain, how much you can cut down your farming costs with a Case tractor. 1 Send for Big New Tractor Book < f See in pictures the reasons for extra performance and economy of Case tractors — power-saving transmission ... fuel-miser carburetion ... tunnel type oiling system . . . quick-dodge steering.
