WHAT A WHALE OF A DIFFERENCE IN MILKINGI
The redesigned SURGE bucket lid offers greater adjusta
bility to a wider variety of udders . . . particularly the
low or extra wide varieties we encounter so often. It milk*
more evenly on all four quarters and gets all the milk
fast because of its unique, even TUG and PULL action.
If you have “problem" cows the SURGE bucket with the
wide angle lid and Tonganoxie electric pulsator is your
answer.
