New Animal
Grooming Aid
HORICON, WI - Gardner
Manufacturing Company
has announced an extension
of ita line of animal
grooming aids to include a
portable dryer-blower and
vacuum and a compact
dryer-blower.
According to a Company
spokesman, the units, sold
under the registered name
“Fluffr”, will fluff and dry
an animal’s hair and hide
quickly. Two large motors
used in each unit are said to
deliver more warm air more
speedily than conventional
commercial dryers. The
“Fluffr” is available in two
models:
The Model 6 is a large
cannister-type design with a
10’ hose. It is attached to a
wheeled cart, which can be
removed easily, for
maximum maneuverability.
Its filter, which lifts out of
the cannister for easy
cleaning, screens dust from
the motors, and provides
maximum air movement for
extremely effective
vacuuming.
The Model 200 Pakafluff
provides the user with
complete mobility,
restricted only by length of
cord used for connection to
the electric power source. It
comes equipped with a
strong, webbed shoulder
sling, so it can be carried and
used “hands’free”. Designed
to provide quick, efficient
drying and fluffing, it should
not be used for vacuuming
because it does not contain a
filter.

MF MOUNTED PLOW
A new MF 345 fully
mounted plow for use with
tractors of 60 hp and over has
been introduced by Massey-
Ferguson.
The MF 345 is basically a
three-bottom plow, but it can
be extended to four or five
bottoms with conversion
kits. Plows will be offered
with 16-inch bottoms. They
may be equipped with either
Heavy Duty (HDN), High
Speed (HS) or semi-deep
tillage (SDT) bottoms. Rear
bottom may be equipped
with either the long ad
justable heel landslide or a
springloaded furrow wheel.
The MF 345 has been field-
1975
tested in a variety of soils
and soil conditions and
performs well at speeds of 3
to 7 mph. It provides ample
trash clearance of 30-lnch
vertical and 28-inch fore and
aft, along with adequate
weight for penetration. The
clearance under bottom
when tripped is 17-inch.
The spring trip and
hydraulic reset standards
are the same type as those
used on the MF 880 plow. The
hydraulic reset beams are
available with either the
accumulator or central
hydraulic system.
Heavy duty “N” bottoms
are recommended for
general purpose plowing at
speeds up to 4% mph. HDN
bottoms offer high scouring
ability, good trash coverage
and pulverization of the soil.
High speed (HS) bottoms
permit plowing speeds up to
7 mph without excessive
increase in draft. Those
bottoms have a longer share
and moldboard with less
curve and slope than HDN
bottoms.
Disc coulters are available
in 17-inch, 18-inch, or 20-inch
plain or rippled, spring
cushioned or shear bolt.
Adjustable trash boards are
available for use with HDN
bottoms.
Larger Grain Bins
In an effort to provide
more economical storage for
grain elevators, Chicago
Eastern Corporation has
increased the maximum
capacity of most of its tanks.
Chicago now offers storage
tanks with eave heights of 64
feet (from 24 through 75 feet
in diameter). In the past, the
maximum eave height was
limited to 58 feet.
This additional height
allows the commercial
operator to store more grain
per square foot of land
space. The extra capacity
ranges from 2,000 bushels in
the 24' diameter tank, to
20,000 bushels in the 75’ tank.
This change also effectively
reduces the cost per bushel
for each tank.
Chicago Eastern Cor
poration is a Marengo,
Illinois based manufacturer
of grain storage and drying
equipment.
NEW DAIRY FEEDER
A new dairy feeder that
automatically supplies extra
feed to high producing cows
is now available from S & J
Sales, Inc., Sheridan,
Wyoming. Called the “Horn
of Plenty” Automatic Dairy
Feeder, the unit will be
marketed through S & J
distributors throughout the
United States.
The new feeder
automatically delivers extra
grain to coup. Uial JKttXAic
the feeder unit by means of
chaiiv -extncilon tripping
device attached to the cow’s
neck chains or ropes.
Although DHIA figures
have documented production
gains of up to 40 lbs. milk per
day with extra feed, S & J
says average gains will be in
the neighborhood of 8 to 10
extra pounds of milk a day
per cow for herds using the
automatic feeder. "Most
herd owners will find the top
half of their herd can profit
from the extra feed," ac
cording to S & J President,
James Kuzara.
Besides increasing total
production and improving
feed usage efficiency, the
automatic dairy feeder
saves the extra labor
requirement for individual
feeding, splitting the herd,
etc. Also, according to S & J,
the simple trippling device
eliminates the use of ex
pensive magnets for each
cow’s chainmagnets that can
pick up unwanted metal and
carry it into feed or
roughage supplies where
cows may accidnetally
ingest it. Plus, using
magnets requires a nech
rope instead of a chain.
The “Horn of Plenty”
dairy feeder comes as a
complete package, ready to
install. Each feeder will
supply up to 40 head daily. A
one ton feed storage bin is
also available, and special
mounting kits are available
for mounting the “Horn of
Plenty” to larger bins.
