Van Brunt Light Draft Grain Drills owe their success to their practical working qualities. It has been the purpose of the makers so to construct these machines that they will do the best possible work in the most difficult seeding conditions. The Van Brunt is made right. It will make a proper Seed Bed in the most obstinate soil and will deposit the seed evenly at a uniform depth across the bottom of the Seed Furrows.
Van Brunt Disc Drills were the first to overcome all objections on account of clogging, choking up or poor seeding, and years of remarkable success have shown them to be the most dependable for working the the most difficult seeding conditions, as well as in clear, dry soil.
