ADVANCED FEATURES OF DAVID SROWN it tractors SAYS CANTERBURY FARMER October lath, 1950. Messrs, Todd Bros. Ltd., P.O. Box 2002, WELLINGTON. Dear Sirs, My DAVID BROWN Tractor has given me a splendid performance since I purchased it 2 years ago. I knew the splendid reputation of the David Brown Company for producing quality products but the features found on this Tractor make other tractors obsolete. I do a considerable amount of cropping on my farm and the six-speed gear-box and two-speed governor provide a range of gears which gives the right speed for any job, while the two-speed power take-off is just what farmers have been needing for years but could not procure until the DAVID BROWN came along. Everybody knows the trouble encountered in harvesting heavy or out of condition crops and the two-speed power take-off is the answer to this. Headers, power binders, power mowers and pick-up balers give a far more efficient performance with a DAVID BROWN Tractor because the power take-off allows the machine in use to be driven at a speed to suit the conditions. The all-round performance of my DAVID BROWN Tractor has been everything that I could wish for and maintenance costs have been negligible, whilst the fuel economy is really amazing and has to be experienced to be appreciated. I have been so pleased'with the Tractor that you have my permission to use this letter in any way you desire, so that others too may benefit from my experience. Yours faithfully, W. F. Dixon, Ashley Bank. (Original on file) fw What a boon David Brown’s exclusive 2-speed Power Take-Off and Belt Pulley are!
