UNVERFERTH McCURDY
All Unverferth McCurdy grain boxes have the r . available
for faster unloading. They also have several new improvements. And
now two large capacity models are available.
We've reduced the number of interior welded seams. This reduces
the possibility of your load getting hung up on a seam or ledge. Loads
will empty quickly and completely without the need to risk injury by get
ting inside with a broom. Reducing the number of welded seams gives
even more strength and durability to U.M.'s non-flexing box design.
Unverferth McCurdy boxes are primed for rust prevention before
the final finish is applied. And that final finish is still available only from
U.M. in your choice of red, orange, blue or green to match your equip
ment.
To match the requirements of your operation, Unverferth McCurdy
offers you three different size models. Now you can choose a U.M. box in
either 230, 275 or 435 cubic foot capacity. These are actual cubic
measurements without optional sideboards.
