By JOANNESPAHR
HARRISBURG - For only
having visited Farm Show
once before in his entire life,
John Chapman, 34, Manheim
R 5, did well for himself and
his partner on Monday
morning. That was the day
Chapman navigated Dutch
Valley Farms bred gilt to the
championship of the 'Duroc
breeding swine competition
at Farm Show.
WHAT'S NEW
NEW
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE
TRACTORS INTRODUCED
DES MOINES, lowa - To
meet farmer demand for
more powerful tractors,
Massey-Ferguson will in
troduce a new generation of
four-wheel-drive tractors in
1978. The new “4000 Series”
consists of two models the
265 engine horsepower MF
4840 and the 320 hp MF 4880.
The MF 4840 and MF 4880
tractors are powered by a
Cummins 903 cu. inch V-3
diesel engine, naturally
aspirated and turbocharged,
respectively.
Both models offer a choice
of 12-speed manual tran
smission or an Ift-speed unit
with three-speed, shift-on
the-go capability in six gear
ranges. Both transmissions
feature constant mesh gears
for shifting ease. The
tractors have an all-new
four-plate, oil-cooled 14 in.
clutch with an integral
transmission brake.
The large cab provides
high visibility, a deluxe fully
adjustable swivel seat,
convenient control console,
instrument panel and tilt
steering wheel, and full
complement of malfunction
warning lights. Air con
ditioning, heater, turn
signals, and four-way
flashers are standard
equipment.
Chapman, who recently
left behind a career as a
Navy systems analyst to join
forces with Mark Nestleroth
on the respected Manheim
based Dutch Valley swine
operation, had visited Farm
Show only briefly for a sale
last year. After that short
contact, he came back this
week and won a title Dutch

as an option. This new
system gives positive
position control, full draft
control, or an - infinitely
variable intermix of both to
allow more precise control of
implements under varying
field conditions. Massey-
Ferguson is the first
manufacturer to offer this
electronic sensing system on
farm tractors.
A three-spool auxiliary
hydraulic valve is standard
with a four-spool optional.
Both valves feature pressure

The champion gilt
Chapman showed was a
January gilt out of Hex, a
$6OOO boar bought by Dutch
Valley from the National
Durcc test station in lowa.
The red gilt was then bred
to Indy Champ, a $6400 boar
which was champion at the
Indiana State Fair in 1976.

According to enthusiastic
swine judge Paul Parrish,
Montpelier, Ohio, the
champion gilt had good
growth, was lean, and was
well muscled with a good
underline. She also was free
moving:
Although he did Monday’s
showing, Chapman says
Nestleroih is responsible for
most of the breeding done on
the farm. When it comes to
showing, the two partners
trade off, with Chapman
doing the local shows and
Nestieroth doing others in
the West.
And, even though it wasn’t
that long ago that Chapman
remembers working as a
systems analyst, he. now
says that he’s hooked on
showing.
“I love it,” he says with a
good natured smile, “it’s a
lot of fun.”
The reserve champion of
the show went to Kenneth D.
Fetterolf, Centre Hall Rl, for
his February gilt.
Lawrence Arnold,
Myerstown, showed the first
place March gilt.
