Live photos show Bachelor and Ruston tractor claim
Mr A. E. Coote visited Monday with two photos. One shows Bachelor the siv years Devon, recently fed from the Havelah, now settled quietly and trouble free. He estimates Bachelor’s weight at over a ton. The other photo depicts a Ruston tractor hauling a header in a seven day crop, described as fool- proof, running from start to dinner, with no stop for emptying. He says it uses about three fides of a gallon of kerosene per net acre. Water and oil added, it will work. A spring drawbar hitch saves effort at startup.
