WITH WORTH INGTON TRACTORS AND GANG MOWERS

You can cut hours in mowing time and many dollars in labor costs with the right combination of Worthington Tractors and Gangs.

WORTHINGTON ROUGH GRASS BLITZER Steep slopes, uneven ground, high, tough grass — the Rough Blitzer eats it up by the acre. Large diameter reel permits wide fly knives to gather in and clip tall growths. Specially designed springs hold cutters down . . . prevent skipping and bouncing on rough ground. Available in 3, 5, 7 and 9-gang combinations with a range of cutting swaths from 7 ft. 2 in. to 21 ft. 2 in. WORTHINGTON FAIRWAY MOWERS With these fast, smooth-cutting gangs, one man handles the fairway mowing of an average 18-hole golf course in eight hours. Flexible unit hook-up of gangs allows each unit to conform to rolling sur- faces . . . eliminates skipping and scalping. The Fairway mower is hooked in 3, 5 or 7-gang combinations, giving a width of swath up to 15 ft. 6 in. MODEL G TRACTOR Wherever gang mowers are pulled and large areas are maintained, the Model G has the power, speed and maneuverability to do the job right. With exceptionally low center of gravity and big 40 hp. engine, the Model G works easily on steep hillsides. Short, 5 % -ft. turning radius saves time in close quarters. MODEL F CHIEF TRACTOR New design puts the Chief a big step ahead in golf course maintenance work. With driving wheels in front, the Chief utilizes 75 percent of tractor weight for greater traction. Front-mounted gang mowers cut grass before tractor wheels touch it — no streaking due to compacted grass. Driver watches mowers without turning around, gauges distance better, reduces size of overlap. The Model F Chief also operates the hydraulically controlled Ranger Mower allowing driver to raise gangs for road travel without leaving tractor seat.
