—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 10,1976 18 fWhat's New ... j HYDRA-WIDE PLOW This new plow is equipped with an on-land, semi mounted, 2-point bitch, and is available in seven or eight bottoms. The 900 Series has all the basic features of other Hydra-Wides which include hydraulically adjusting cutting width on-the-go from 14 inches to 22 inches, and a 40 inch high clearance for non-clogging. Standard equipment includes: spring trips; 24 inch straight rolling coulters; heavy-duty DMI frogs; 16 inch shwes; 12.5 by 15 tail and front furrow wheels; 3 separate double acting hydraulic cylinders with lines for tail wheel, front furrow wheel, and width adjusting feature; large indicator gauge to show width of cut; plus a tubular steel back-bone brace on main plow beam. Operational features of the DMI 900 Series Hydra-Wide plow include: a pivot on the tongue section of the on-land hitch that permits the tractor to run the same distance from the furrow regardless of width of cut; a rear tail wheel that is steered when the tractor turns; a free castor front furrow wheel that will not climb out of the furrow; remote hydraulic cylinders ■with sequencing valves on the tail and front furrow wheels that automatically lower the front then the rear and reverse when raising the plow - all with one control valve on the tractor; a 3rd remote hydraulic cylinder to adjust width of cut; an ad justable hitch for setting plow draft; plus, the tail wheel will lessen landside drag because of the extra weight it carries. The DMI 900 Series Hydra-Wide plow with its on-land- hitch is especially suited for large 4- wheel drive, articulated steered, center-pivoted tractors; because these tractors cannot operate in the fur.nw and must have all wheels on land. Also, these tractors are usually equipped with extra large tires and-or four-wheel dualed for more traction and less compaction. Ad ditionally, the 900 Series on land hitch permits owners of standard two-wheel drive tractors to keep dual wheels on both sides of the tractor - plus, the operator does not have to sit on an angle as ~ when plowing with one wheel ' in the furrow.
