Halcombe, Feilding. 27-I*so Bear Sirs , I am very pleased to be able to tell you of the very satisfactory experience I have had with my Fordson Major with Half Track Crawler 'Equipment. as an agricultural contractor I previously owned a 3KSf. XKCrawler. I found that with the Major I could use all the same implements and on our country, more effectively. I have done some very tough work apart from the ordinary run of agricultural work including cleaning dams, malung tracks with a Hydraulic Blade l had fitted,'and pulling logs. Some of niy experiences will interest you. a 3-14' furrow plough was pulled up steep grades without difficulty, - with 8-a-side tandem discs at full cut, covered 39 acres in 101 hours. Fuel used—2o gallons. mole drained with 21" plug at 16 to 18 inches with mains down to 24 inches. pulled a 720 super foot log along the flat in second gear. Fuel consumption in relation to work done was most reasonable. Heavy work took two gallons per hour. Mole draining li gallons per hour. Bulldozing 1 gallon per hour. Last season T used the. tractor on rubber in pull mv header and averaged y of a gallon per lio,ur. Ihe tractor is very stable on steep country both going up and down and around sidlings. Maintenance costs have been negligible. Over 1-100 hours work the only new parts I have had to buy have becii 1 exhaust valve and 1 fan belt.
