How to Maintain Choppers damage to the machine. Check and adjust the slip clutch; it is also there to protect the machine. It should be adjusted to protect the chopper - not to allow you to use all available hor sepower. Follow the in structions in the operator’s manual covering “Glazing" and adjustment. Lubricate the entire machine regularly as in dicated in your operator’s manual. OPERATION - Let’s assume that we have the machine peoperly set up, adjusted and lubricated and we are ready for field operation. Up to this point we have said very little about the tractor to be used.

Low horsepower with large chopper - This com bmation will obviously result in poor chopper capacity and performance but will seldom be the cause of machine failure. High horsepower with medium or small chopper - This combination usually spells TROUBLE, Too many operators attempt to operate at tractor capacity rather than machine capacity. These practices will include faster ground speeds, heavier windrows, tighter slip clutches and heavier shear bolts. Capacity will be above expectations, but unfortunately downtime and repair expenses will be excessive. To summarize, we remind you that speedy and efficient performance of your equipment during the har- IT PAYS TO FEED THE AGRI-KING WAY! “Just a few words to share with my fellow dairymen I started on the Agri-King feeding program in December 1972. In August 1972 I was milking 40 cows with a rolling herd average of 13,543 lbs. milk and 475 lbs. fat. I was shipping 33.8 lbs. milk per rows per day on all cows and 39.4 lbs. on milking rows. In August 19741 milked 50 rows with a rolling herd average of 15,486 lbs. milk and 514 lbs. fat. I’m now shipping 44.1 lbs. milk per cow per day on all cows and 55.7 lbs. on milking cows. This is the best I’ve ever done through the summer. I’ve had very few milk fevers, and my breeding problems have decreased so that I don't have to sell rows because of not being able to get them bred. I use Super Micro on all my fresh rows until they settle, ' I feel it pays to put corn silage in green and treat it with > King. Last year I filled one silo with green corn silage treated with Silo King, and it was tne best silage I had. I didn’t realize just how much better the rows were doing until 1 compared my records. I’ve increased my herd by 10 rows and their milk production by more'than 10 lbs. per cow per day on all cows and more than 16 lbs. on milk rows. Also my veterinary bills are really down. It’s a pleasure for me to milk rows under these conditions l .’’ LehfeCo...*rta. J. H. Moore 1213 Zorba Drive Whitehall, Pa. 18052 Ph: 215-432-5987 teton Lancaster Co. A.
