BUTLER STOR-N-FEED
SYSTEMS FOR FORAGE AND GRAIN
If all you get is "the blues" from shop
ping for a low moisture silage system,
take a look at the big, white Butler
Stor-N Feed.®
Here’s up to 1128 tons of “oxygen
free" storage for corn silage, or 620 tons
for low moisture silage—plus Butler’s ex--
clusive, maintenance free breathing system.
No breather bags to replace, no relief
valves to let air in.
Efficient top unloader is easily serv
iced. Delivers more silage, faster, than
bottom unloaders ... and with only five
horsepower.
Bright, white finish reflects heat—
minimizes gas expansion.
Price for the Butler StorN-Feed® sys
tem? You’ll be amazed. Thousands of
dollars less than some systems. There’s
an equally efficient and economical sys
tem for high moisture gram, too. And
Butler offers low-cost deferred payment
terms and lease plans.
