Since the Buckeye showed its suitability for harvesting heavy, short ryrgrasa and clover, erery other Elevator Binder has been claiming to be a good machine in grass ; and in many instances farmers have been badly " had." Wo have tried hard to bring about a competitive trial in grass, but, owing to the influence of ageuts and experts of the other machines, this has not yet eventuated. There is only one machine which will successfully handle heavy grass, or even extra heavy grain, and that is the Buckeye. See what users say. Jno. Smart. Kaikoura, November 11, 1892, "The Buckeye Frameless I bought last year went through my harvest capitally, cutting about 300 acres. In a heavy crop of laid wheat she worked splendidly ; and your speed of knife and elevating power are points you cannot make too much of. Another new Elevator had to leave the crop I cut without difficulty." (In conversation with Mr Smart we gathered that a new Elevator was purchased Ust year by the owner of the crop referred to, and after hacking at his crop for a week he had only got down 15 acres, and had to let the cutting to Mr Smart and his Buckeye. The owner paid £27 10s for the cutting, and put up his own new Elevator at auction at the end of the season aud sold it for £25.) Wilson Hall. Riversdale, September 19, 1892. " In reply to your request that I should give my opinion of your Frameless machines, I may state they exceeded anything that I was previously led to believe of their capabilities. They cut between 300 and 400 acres each without a single breakage. Among other 10 machines of my own the Buckeye upheld her reputation asa thoroughly efficient harvester. " (Last season, at the urgent solicitatk-n of our Riversdale agent, Mr Hall, who needed half a dozen new machines, consented to take one of our Frameless Biuders and five new — ■— Elevators by anothes maker. The crop to be cut was a heavy one of wheat, and when a start was made the Buckeye was tound to be the only machine capable of opening up and coping with the crop successfully. Mr Hall was so pleased that he took off the truck at Riversdale station •* second Buckeye consigned to a neighbour, and as the harvest had progressed had every reason to congratulate himself on his choice. Each Buckeye cut between 300 and 400 acres of his crop without breakage, whilst the other new Binders were constantly in need of repairs. Mr Hall, we believe, has expressed his willingness to sell hi 3 other machines and replace with tho Buckeye, An ounce of experience of this kind is worth a ton of agents' misrepresentations. History repeats itself, and we could quote scores of such cases. It is a universal thing, when an overseer remarks to .n ouMinr, "It's a terribly rough and trying crop," for him to reply, " Yes ; it's too much for and . Put in the Buckeye. ") W. C. Buchanan, Esq , M.H R. Gladstone, November ?,, 1892. " I have used the Lowdown Buckeye for several seasons on crops muring from light to exceptionally he.vy, ani have pleasure in stating that the woik has been very satisfactorily done." Mr Buchanan own 3 three Lowdowns, and having a good deal of rough and hi'ly country under crop requires strength with efficiency John Douglas, Esq., Mount Royal and Waihao Down 3. "The Lowdown is working splendidly clinging to the hillside overlooking Palmer Bton like a squirrel, to the admiration of al beholders. Mr Douglas has had in all five Lowdowns, ond the whole of the heavy sidling work of hi 3 two fine stations have been relegated to the Buckeye. Jasper NfcoLT,s, Esq. Maerewhernn, September 25, 1892. " I am well saiistk-d with the work of the Lowdown Uu'jkeyea (four), and shall probably require another thia year. Kindly let me know the price." Mr Nicolls for m:tny years used binders by another maker, hut, yielding to the superior points of the Buckeye, now buys nothing else. [Extract from Private Letter ] John M. Smith, Esq. Greenfield, January 27, 1892. "I set up the two new Lowdowns (twelve Buckeyes having been previously purchased by Messrs J. Smith and Sons) in my spare time in the evening, and to prove that they were well and faithfully set up I may say that we started cutting oats to-day with six LovJowns, and they all went like tops." (.'reenfield Station is one of the beat known in Ctago. Messrs Smith and Sons have purchased from U3 Fourteen Binders in all, coming year after year, like Oliver Twist, for m< re. Begg Brothers. Hillend, Ofcigo. "The Buckeyes arc working capitally. Th r -y are the only machines which suit our country, and you need fear no opposition." Messrs Begg Brothers have used the Buckeye ever since it came to Now Zealand ; have had tsix Binders in all, and find there is nothing to equal them. We could point to Maraekakaho, the finest station in Hawke's Bay, and dozens of others, where, since the introduction of the liuckeye, all other binders have gone out of use. We have said enough to 9how our readers that for hilly, rough country, such as Ougo abounds in, the Buckeye is imt only " Always Ahead,'' but is the only suitable machine for the country.
