The uniform price is based
on milk containing 3.5 per
cent butterfat. For March
1977, a differential of 10.7
cents was applied to the
price for each one-tenth of
one per cent that the milk

per cent standard.

milk received within the 201-
210 mile zone from New York

design are noted for in
creased soil shattering
action as field speeds rise.
Spring action of the tine is
concentrated in the S-curve
to break up hard ground
without rolling up soil dods
to cover plants. Tines are
staggered on 46 inch long
gangs to insure trash flow
without plugging. The gang
design permits infinite tooth
adjustment on individual
mounting bars to match field
conditions. Each cultivator
mounts on category II or 111 -
3-point or quick hitches.
Folding wings are
hydraulically activated
allowing the operator to go
from field to transport
position without stopping.
Field cultivators are
available as pull-type or 3-
point hitch units. All models
are standardized by an 11
foot center section with wing
combinations of three foot
and six foot and bolt-on
extensions of one foot, two
foot, and three foot
available. The hydraulically
operated folding-wing
models transport at 14 foot,
for over-the-road safety and
convenience, one-coil
floating harrows mount on
all models. Adjustable gauge
wheels on all models assure
proper depth control and
good flotation in all types of
terrain.
More than 36,000 American
communities now depend
entirely on trucks for
delivery of goods and ser
vices.
