TOOL-BAR<br />
Machines<br />
HEREVER middle bursting is the<br />
first operation in the preparation<br />
Wof soil, one of these <strong>Farmall</strong> toolbar<br />
middle busters makes a basic implement<br />
for just about everything a man<br />
has to do up to picking time—bursting<br />
middles, sweeping out old beds, planting,<br />
listing, etc. For the backbone of<br />
these busters is a heavy, square, steel<br />
bar to which can be attached middle<br />
buster or lister bottoms, sweeps, planting attachments,<br />
etc. This bar is connected to the tractor by<br />
long pull irons which attach to brackets extending<br />
down from about the middle of the tractor frame<br />
rails. It is carried on wheels, <strong>and</strong> these control the<br />
working depth of the various attachments.<br />
The No. 10 is primarily a two-row, though three<br />
or four bottoms can be used where draft conditions<br />
permit. The No. 11 is a combination three- <strong>and</strong><br />
four-row lister. It is of still huskier construction<br />
than the No. 10 <strong>and</strong> plenty strong to be used with<br />
the F-30 in hard ground. While it can also be used<br />
with the F-20, it is not recommended for that tractor<br />
except where the soil is light <strong>and</strong> easily worked.<br />
These machines are of the power-lift type <strong>and</strong> it<br />
is necessary that the tractors be equipped with powerlift<br />
attachment.<br />
The No. 10 is regularly equipped with 14-inch<br />
middle-buster bottoms, the No. 11, with 14-inch<br />
lister bottoms. These bottoms have soft-center<br />
tempered steel molds <strong>and</strong> solid steel shares. Other<br />
bottoms can be supplied on special order, including<br />
bottoms with 18-, 20-, <strong>and</strong> 22-inch shares.<br />
Planting attachments which can be supplied for<br />
these machines are described on the following page.<br />
You can even have a cultivating attachment to use<br />
on the tool-bar of the No. 10 <strong>and</strong> No. 11 machines<br />
in conjunction with the front section of your regular<br />
<strong>Farmall</strong> cultivator. It consists of five spring-trips<br />
with two 18-inch <strong>and</strong> three 10-inch sweeps. It makes<br />

Other equipment which can be supplied<br />
includes extra beam attachments, cultivating<br />

trips, special gauge wheels, attachments for<br />
using sweeps, <strong>and</strong> sweeps in various sizes.<br />
