Drill for mangold wurzel and turnip seed.
YOUNG'S REGISTERED DOUBLE-DRILL TURNIP AND MANGOLD WURTZEL DROP-SOWING MACHINE, drops the seed continuously or at almost any required distances apart; and is so constructed as to work effectually, however unskilful the person may be who is attending it. Being made wholly of cast and malleable iron, it is not liable to be damaged either by the weather or rough usage, and can sow in damp weather when most other machines must stop. By using this machine, a saving of one-half the seed is effected; and the plants can be thinned for from 1/6 to 2/0 less per acre than if the common machine were used. Price, at the Works £6
This machine has gained 6 first prizes and several silver medals at some of the leading agricultural exhibitions.
