THERE’S H LITTLE
PART OF WIN DHLE
IN EVERV UNLORDER...
ONLV ONE TWIT'S GOT
IT HLL TOGETHER.
In 1950, we introduced the most
efficient silo unloaderto the market.
Simple, but efficient.
We’ve changed during the last 21
years. Added self-cleaning, wide
throat impellers for tough to handle
haylage. Dual, no-plug augers for
smooth silage movement. Depend
able, weather-sealed electrical sys
tems to prevent failures. And
numerous other performance-fea
ture “firsts.”
If you look around,' you’ll find a
little part of VAN DALE in just about
every unloader...
But only Van Dale sells it all
together.
