THERE IS A RULE among agricultural engineers to the effect "that if you multiply the-, width of the cut of your implement (in- feet) by the working .speed of your tractor (in miles per hour) you will obtain the approximate number of acres you can. cover in a ten-liour day. Using this simple formula, you can easily calculate the number of extra hours YOU are spending in the field every :lay with the animal or tractor power you are now using ... as compared with the speedy 4% miles per hour working speed of the Allis Chalmers. Then multiply the number of hours saved per day by the num ber of ten-hour days you now spend performing each of the draw bar operations on your fa*"m each year . . . and you will have the approximate number of hours or days you can save in a year. The yearly saving will surprise you. at the accompanying table. C 3 d S £ --h C • «- >2 O G> O O "—i _ « ft ■ U o ~ C/J £ CO 7-1 O Si J) << c!

The Allis Chalmers/ on the other hand, pullinj two bottoms at 4% miles an hour actually plows more acres thai does" a larger, slower tractor, pull ing three bottoms at three mile an hour. You can cover the sam amount of ground in less lime but you. have done it with a small er, less expensive tractor . . . on that you can better afford to op erate.
