The greater capacity of its 200-gallon tank will cut your over-all spraying time by as much as 30%. The trailer tread of the Oliver 233 adjusts easily to any row width, and there’s a choice of PTO-driven pumps with pressures up to 400 pounds, needed for alfalfa aphid control. And you get many other proved Oliver features —like the new 8-way control valve located handily ter-the tractor seat. The Oliver 233 is available with field or row-crop booms, low-cost jet for straight field spraying, or hand gun for shrub and build in e coverage. Come in and see it soon. G. E.
