IMPROVED MOWING MACHINES.
BUDDING'S PATENT WITH FERRABEE'S REGISTERED IMPROVEMENTS, MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY
JAMES FERRABEE AND CO., PHOENIX IRON WORKS, Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Mowing Machines were first introduced by the Proprietors of the Phoenix Iron Works, who have manufactured and sold upwards of 6000. They have from time to time effected many Improvements in the Machines and have this year introduced in the large Hand Ma chines a more ready mode of adjusting the length of the cut, setting on the box, &c.
They can be used by unskilled labourers with equal facility on Lawns, Verges, between Flower Beds, on Bowling Greens, and Cricket Grounds, and may be either drawn or pushed. For extensive Lawns and Pleasure Grounds, the Horse Machines will be found all that is desirable, and J. F. and Co. can strongly recommend their 28-inch Machine as easy to manage, readily turned, and capable of cutting the longest and coarsest Grass usually met with where much Machines can be used, while its size and weight will admit of its being worked by a strong pony. They execute their work in an expeditious and superior manner, producing a beautifully even and uniform surface, and are readily adjusted to cut various lengths The Grass is cut best when dry, so that a Machine can be used at the most convenient time to the workman.
