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.
