COLEMAN and SON'S IMPROVED HANSON'S PATENT POTATO DIGGER will raise potatoes cleaner, and with greater economy, than any other implement, and without injury to the crop. Price £18-0
COLEMAN'S PATENT JOINTED CLOD CRUSHER accommodates itself to the undulations of the ground. From the peculiar construction of its discs it is admirably adapted for abrading the surface of the soil, rolling young wheats, etc. and preventing the ravages of the wire worm. Price. £20-0
As Her Majesty's Commissioners were not able to allot to Messrs. Coleman sufficient space for a set of steam cultivating apparatus (Yarrow and Hilditch patent), it is not exhibited. It may be seen, however, at the Royal Agricultural Society's Show in Battersea Park.
Among the advantages of this system are the following:—
1. Direct action; no power being wasted by the use of pulleys between the implement and the engine.
2. Economy in first cost, and in expense of working.
3. The engine, being locomotive, can draw the entire set of tackle upon the roads, and is at the same time adapted for the general uses of a steam engine upon the farm.
Price lists will be forwarded post-free on application.
