Good Condition for Wheat
To get a good seed bed it is necessary to do your
work at the right time. With an Avery Kerosene
Tractor you can plow when you are ready. Hot
weather and hard ground can’t stop you. And
wet weather will not put you back long. You
can even plow day and night if necessary.

enough so that you can do your discing, harrow
ing and seeding without fear of injuring your
