234 CORN HARVESTER
A really new kind of corn harvester, the Model 234
has all the corn-saving features of a combine corn
head, plus the versatility of quick-change rear units
for shelled corn, husked or snapped ears.
No other picker has a self-contained power-mounted
universal frame—it fits 4 competitive makes of trac
tors, 11 different models. And the exclusive snapping
unit has scalloped rolls and stripper plates similar to
those used on IH corn heads ... also available with
conventional deep-pocket snapping rolls, interchange
able with scalloped rolls.
The 234 mounts and dismounts in less than 10
minutes, so your tractor is available for other chores.
Save corn, save time, save money, with the 234 Corn
Harvester. Stop in today.
