—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 22,1978 46 WHAT'S NEW REVO COUNTER, Known as the “SAM” Revo Counter, this device attached to a wheel hub can be used by fanners, con tractors or home owners to keep track of tractor, truck or wheeled implement usage. It’s now available from Massey-Ferguson as an aid in determining daily field operation, acres covered, fuel economy versus work performed, rate of seed, fertilizer or her bicide application, yield per acre, and maintenance scheduling. SAM revo counter comes with slide rule for direct conversion of wheel revolutions into square feet, acres or miles, or metric measurements. STATIONARY CONVEYOR A new stationary conveyor box that smoothly syn chronizes forage hauling with the unloading operation is being introduced by the Koehring Farm Equipment Division. The new Fox 1016 stationary conveyor acts as a connecting link in the forage handling system receiving an entire load of hay or com silage at a time and then feeding it at a uniform rate into the blower. Because the hauler spends less time unloading, he is able to haul more loads in a day. As a result, Fox engineers explain, farmers and ranchers may find that they will need fewer forage wagons or trucks for hauling. The large capacity Fox 1016 Stationary Conveyor Box is ideal for the fanner or rancher who hauls silage or hay silage long distances. With the Fox 1016, forage wagons and trucks spend less time unloading and more time hauling. It has four heavy-duty apron chains with a two speed apron transmission which moves material forward to the beaters and then can be shifted down to a slower speed to properly feed ensilage into the forage blower. With the hydraulic flow-control valve, the conveyor has an infinite number of speeds to properly meter the ensilage into the forage blower. Pintle chains are used throughout with heavy worm drive for minimum main tenance, says Fox. The conveyor is designed to be driven with tractor hydraulics. The operator can bring the entire operation to a halt by pulling the safety rope which runs around three sides of the box. The two wheel axle and the tongue design make it easy to handle when moving, says Fox. The Koehring Farm Equipment Division, headquartered in Appleton, Wis., is a major manufac turer of farm implements including forage harvesting and handling equipment and tillage tools.
