Solve your sod problems with a RYAN «Jr. Sod Cutter ...and the RYAN Rollaire

Keep your course — greens, tees, and fairways — in tournament condition all season with these rugged, self-propelled, precision-built machines! First, cut healthy sod from your nursery. Next, strip out worn or dead sod. Your Ryan Jr . Sod Cutter adjusts to proper depth, does both jobs at the rate of 100 sq. ft. per minute! Third, roll stripped soil (if necessary) with your Ryan Rollaire . . . lay new sod . . . roll again. Designed for golf course use, the Rollaire gives the proper weight of 28 lbs. per lineal inch, water filled.

Using both units, you replace sod with practi-cally no interruption to players. Optional sod cutter blades let you cul t iva te , edge, or trench. T e n n i s courts, blacktop, general turf rolling will keep your Rollaire busy.

90% of all machine cut sod is cut by a Ryan Sod Cutter! Write for full information:

and you'll buy ROSEMAN G A N G MOWERS

Why Roseman

High mowing costs, wasted man nours and excessive repair bills are not found in gang mowers of Roseman design and quality.

Save on Repairs

Exclusive non-breakable malleable side frames and bed knife shoes. Tough chrome-nickel alloy steel heavy duty reels with riveted blades—not welded—to avoid hard spots and breakage. Timken adjust-able bearings. Vanadium steel bed knives. All assure faithful service for many years with almost non-existent repair bills.

Save on Labor

Exclusive ability of Roseman hollow-roller-drive gang mowers to overhang traps and shrubbery beds and cut close to fences and structures eliminates the need for much hand trimming. Hundreds of man hours can be saved or devoted to other tasks.

Every Time Save on Time Roseman mowers are rear drive mowers. They mow faster, more uniformly without kicking up the rear. Faster mowing with considerable savings in time and man hours are the result. T o say nothing of smoother cut fairways.

Save on Equipment Roseman mowers, with combination rough and fairway hitch can be used to mow areas quickly and at less cost. No nefed for the smaller club to buy an additional gang of rough mowers. Just flip the moto-ers into high cutting position. Also useful where grass on rain flooded fairways "gets away."

Compare 'em all You are invited to compare the Roseman mower with any other mower. Be sure arid compare Roseman quality, design features, low upkeep costs, and performance. We believe that you, too, will join the swing to Roseman mowers.
