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. For further

-624 is a 24-inch fan that turns
at a slower speed where
quieter applications are
required. It may be operated
from either a thermostat for
