The wide spreading device catches the manure as it comes from the beater, breaks it up into still finer particles, and throws it out beyond the wheel tracks in a wide, even spread. This is the kind of fertilizing recommended by all the authorities. The entire load is spread in 3 to 5 minutes. The machine runs easily and lasts a long time because the working parts are all securely fastened to a sturdy steel frame which keeps them all in place and in line. The Low ClOYerleaf spreader is backed by International Harvester reputation for quality machines. It does the work as it should be done. This year of all years you should have a good manure spreader and you will profit most by using a Low Cloverleaf. Immediate delivery. Place your order how.
