Read What the Farmers Say Who Have Used Them.
GENEVA, De Kalb Co., Ill., 1874.
H. H. STEVENS :
DEAR SIR-I have used your Three-Horse Equalizer, attached to the Briggs & Enoch Sulky Plow, for some time. I could not be induced to do without it. The horses can be brought so much nearer the Plow that it diminishes the draught very. much, and in backing or turning around the horses will never step over traces, and there are no singletrees to bang the horses' legs. I think 'I have saved feed enough to more than pay for the Equalizer in doing my fall plowing, aside from the comparative elastic step of the horses and the increased amount of plowed ground per day as a consequence.
