Our Improved Dingee-Woodbury Power SEND FOR OUR ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE. WE INVITE THE ATTENTION OF FARMERS AND STOCK RAISERS To our line of Wide-Cut Mowing Machines, which includes The "STANDARD" 6-FOOT CUT MOWER, 66 66 “STANDARD” 7-FOOT CUT MOWER, SMITH, BIG 7-MOWER, 7-FOOT CUT. These Machines are as light draft as any ordinary 4-foot cut Mower, and are free from side draft, as the weight of the cutter-bar is taken off from the ground by the spring-lift device and carried on the drive wheels. They have more Cutting Power, because the weight of the cutterbar and the inside and outside shoes being carried on the drive wheels the traction of the wheels is thereby greatly increased, consequently increasing the cutting power. The Cutter-bar is more easily lifted to pass obstructions, by aid of the lifting spring and compensating lever, and it is raised with the same ease at all heights from the ground, for with the compensating lever the spring lifts the same number of pounds in one position as in another. The Cutter-bar tilts easier, because the inner and outer shoes do not press so heavily on the ground, and there is so much less friction to overcome. They work on rough ground better than an ordinary narrow-Cut Mower will, because the cutter-bar is not dead weight on the ground to be dragged along, but it is carried by the spring so that it floats over uneven surfaces, and adjusts itself to the inequalities of the ground. The Lifting Spring is easily graduated to lift more or less, as circumstances may require. They Save the Farmer Money because with one man and one team they will do nearly as much work in a day as can be done with two ordinary mowers, which require two men and two teams to operate them.
