THE OLIVER ROW CROP “66” for Vegefable Growers
THE OLIVER ROW CROP “77” for Dairymen and Gen. Farming
THE OLIVER ROW CROP “88” for the “Big Operator”
And if
you want to tell the world, we have the famous
OLIVER “99”.
And Crawlers I!
Yes, we have the OC-3 for specialized or general farming. You can't
push a gallon of gas an hour thru it. And it is absolutely tops for
that hunting trip this fall. It will go where you won't walk.
We also have the Model A for logging, excavating and heavy farm
work. ^-■'fester
And last and largest, the OC 18 with 133 horses on the draw bar.
This is the machine you will want for rugged land clearing and road
building with its famous air steering.
Did you say you were only a "City Farmer"? Well, don't worry mis
ter we haven't forgotten you either. We highly recommend a "Hand
Rotovator" or Rotary tiller for doing both plowing and cultivating
your garden. And if you insist on riding we have the cuttest little
crawler you ever saw — Ransomes MG5. Its really a honey.
