The high clearance of the Moline Universal, 294 inches, makes it perfectly adapted for cultivating, one man cultivating two rows at a time at all stages of the crop. The trac tor is light, yet it has power to rull two 14-inch plows at considerably more than average speed, all its iweight being traction weight.

The Moline-Universal Tractor will work every day in the year. It does not plow and prepare your seed bed, and then rest while your horses do the planting, cultivating and harvesting. That is why the Moline-Uni-versal really replaces horses, and by enabling one man to do four and five times as much work as before, ana solves the farm help problem. The construction of the Moline-Universal is the most advanced on the market. Perfected four-cylinder overhead-valve motor, electric starting and lighting system, and complete enclosure of all working parts are only a few of the leading features.
