H GEMINI
Hay-Saver
"LIKE
AN
EXTRA
DAY OF
SUNSHINE'
Sun is the greatest for drying hay, but only when
its shining.
When rams and wet weather hit, you need the re
markable Gemini Hay-Saver to gently spread your
wet crop over a wide area to prevent deterioration
and speed drying
Then when the hay is dry, you simply flip the
Gemini Hay-Saver's windrowing cage down and it
makes the lightest, fluffiest windrow in the
business Behind a Gemini Hay-Saver, you bale
25% faster
This year, count on sunshine to make a top hay
crop—and the Gemini Hay-Saver to save it.
