THE MOST ADVANCED DESIGN
IN ROTARY HOE
The M&W Rotary Hoe controls weeds better
because each wheel works independently,
free to follow the ground contour without
being effected by a neighboring wheel. Spring
loaded arms assure maximum ground contact.
Maintenance is kept to a minimum with re
placeable, permanently lubricated ball- bearings
on each wheel and self sharpening forged teeth can
be easily replaced. L With rigid models available
m 15’, 21’, 28’ and 30’ widths, and hydraulic fold models in 21', 25’
v,/ and 30’ widths, M&W has a size for every farm. Standard features such
as the M&W E-Z hitch make the M&W Rotary Hoe an even better
investment. Take a closer look at the most advanced design in rotary
‘ hoes today at your nearest M&W dealer or write for more information.
Each wheel is mounted on its own arm,
free to follow the ground contour for
maximum weed control and crust busting.
