The loaded rake is easily discharged, ami witli(nit labor, by a foot treadle and a hand lever, which is pnlled towards the operator while sitting on the seat. The teeth are held firmly to the surface, when necessary, by apply- ing the foot to the same lever, leaving both hands for driving. Each tooth is independent ; and the rake, having a movable head, accommodates itself to any surface, either smooth, rough, or stony. It is successfully used for spreading manure, b\mching hay in the winrow, raking corn-stalks, pea-vines, Aveeds, swainp-grass, and it is effectual in straightening U]* lodged gi-ass, so that the mowing machuie will cut it closely. This rake has paid for itself in one season, in raking stubble alone. The tooth frame may be raised or lowered by a single bolt, any required distance from the ground. It does not thresh the grain nor collect dirt. In all respects it has proved to be a i-eally lirst-class hay and stubble rake. An attachment for sowing phaster, and all fertilizers of a dusty nature, is sujiplied with this rako (and is also very eflicient), as repre- sented by Fig. 48. Taylou'.s Sulky Hay Rake. Tliis Rake is mounted on wheels, and in s< mo respects resembles the Ithaca AMieel Rake. The principal ditl'erence is in the shai)e of the teeth and a spring being placed over each tooth. In those respects it is l)y some considered preferable to the e- Fig. 61.—Sulky Wood Hokse Rake. C - / 0(# /^^ The teeth are made of wood and have an entirely independent action. In raking grain stubble it does not thi'esh the grain. The operator is seated, and by means of a hand lever the load is easily discharged. It rakes heavy equally as well as light hay or stubble. The teeth are strong and dui-able. e-i. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have
