FORMULAS
HEAVIER YIELDS, greater economy, more depend
ability, ease of use these are the four big reasons
behind the growing popularity of Hoffman’s HPS Formulas
for hay, pasture and silage. Each of our 13 special formulas
has been compounded to meet specific needs.
There are three major basic types—alfalfa base, clover
base and grass base. Each may contain from 4 to 9 different
types and varieties to insure best field results. Legumes are
pre-inoculated and all formulas are ready to sow. Only top
grades of high-germination, clean seed are used . . . blended
to produce better stands under adverse conditions.

GIANT CAPACITY
A poweiful 9 inch auger is offset within a giant, fully
enclosed 12-inch steel hood. This unique design provides a
reservoir for silage and feeds the full length of the feeder,
greatly increasing the capacity and speed with which feed
moves to the livestock. Handies the output of the largest
silo unloader with case.
FEEDS ENTIRE HERD AT ONE TIME
Feed is angered the full length of the enclosed hood and k
then automatically dumped into the feeding bunk, providing
equal rations to each head of livestock at the same time. No
cattle crowding No spilled and wasted feeds. When feed
is dumped, the hood closes automatically and repeat* a*
often as needed.
SILENT, CLOG-PROOF OPERATION
Powerful 9-inch auger never touches the metal hood;
eliminating metal-to-metal friction and providing the right
clearance to pi event binding and clogging even when mate
rials have high moisture content. Horsepower requirement*
are greatly reduced too.
