NEW PLOW
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The
Implement Division of the
Allis-Chalmers Corp. has
introduced as new 18-inch
spnng trip or shear bolt two
way plow to complement its
700 and 900 series of two way
plows.
Made for tractors in the
over-100 horsepower class,
the Model 900 spring trip or
shear bolt unit eliminates
dead furrows, reduces water
runoff on hilly land or keeps
irrigated fields level by
turning all furrows in the
same direction.
Designed as an on-the-land
plow, it is offered as a four
bottom basic unit, with a
fifth bottom add-on option. It
incorporates simplicity of
design permitting easier
service and maintenance.

plow, saving tune at each
turn row. Depth control is
maintained by an adjustable
depth gauge wheel that has
six increments of ad
justment. The wheel
automatically cycles as the
plow is rolled over, and may
be located on either the
fourth or fifth bottom for the
most, effective control.
MULTI-PURPOSE
WAGON
N orth American
Manufacturing Co., Sioux
City, lowa, announces the
addition of the new Grain-O-
Vator 400, to their line of self
unloading wagons. This
multi-purpose wagon can be
used both as a grain cart and
as a feed wagon.
The manufacturer states'
the 300 bushel unit can be 1
equipped, with either an 11
inch diameter single,
elevator or an eight inch
diameter boom type elevator
system. The unit can be
mounted on either a single
axle with airplane tires or an
oscillating tandem axle with
a choice of 16 inches or 20
inches drop center rims.
Boom type elevators are
available from 14 feet to 19
feet length and can be
equipped with traps for
mixing, and remote control
for operating from the
tractor seat.
Other features include a
top box which can be added
to units with single 11 feet
diameter elevators and
single axle. This will in
crease the capacity to 400
bushel. Sealed gear boxes,
greaseless bearings where
possible, gates and grain
weight shields over the box
auger, mean less main
tenance and more depen
dability and longer service.
The multi-purpose unit can
be mounted on a truck and
have full eight feet width for
"maximum load. Constructed
with shielded power take-off,
and no other external
moving parts, for safety.
CORN PLANTERS
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The
Alhs-Chalmers Model 77 Air
Champ planter unit, which
has one of the shortest seed
drops available, is now being
offered with stainless steel
runner openers for con
ventional planting. A depth
skid for planting cotton, and
depth gauge wheels for
precision depth control are
also available. The air unit is
available for Allis-Chalmers
600 frames, 300 frames or
tool bar mounting.
The 600 frame may also be
equipped with a 500 gallon,
planter mounted, liquid
fertilizer tank and hydraulic
row markers. The 600 series
planter is now available in 8
row 36,38 or 40 inches and 12
row 30 inches hydraulic fold
up versions.
VOTE.
'Overall the -Air Champ
planter has been designed
with the utmost in simplicity
for economical operation
and more assurance of on
time, uniform planting, with
consistent germination.
Because the planter
operates by air pressure,
standardized seed discs can
be used. This eliminates
changing discs for eyery
different seed grade or
brand, as one disc now
handles a wide rang&of sizes
in each grade. For example,
only four com discs are
needed to handle small,
medium, large or extra large
seeds, replacing more than
100 conventional com plates
previously used. This means
savings for the farmei in
several ways: there is no
longer a need for a Targe
initial investment in seed
plates; the possibility of not
being able to obtain exactly
the right seed disc for the
grade or brand seed desired
is eliminated; less downtime
in changing discs; and
a large supply of plates need
not be kept on hand.
