A2G-Lmcast«r Faming, Saturday, June 14,1910 WHAT’S NEW Accurate planting at 8 mph CHICAGO, m. - In ternational Harvester’s Agricultural Equipment Group has annpunced its new line of 800 Series Early Riser Cycle Air and Plate Planters with advanced electronic controls for faster, earlier planting, and earlier rising crops. In announcing its new line for last 1980 production, the company said its new models represent the most significant advancement in planter technology since the IH Cycle Planter was developed in 1971, using air > meter seeds into the ground. Developed at a cost of more than $25 million, with more than 30 patents pen ding, IH has tested the new units in over 35,000 acres of crops in four countries since 1977, including 20 states in theU.S. Equipped with an im proved metering system plus a new row unit, IH’s Cyclo air models have up to 30 percent unproved “in row” seed spacing, at speeds up to 8 mph, in most crops, even in trashy conditions. This is at least 33 percent faster than the recom mended speeds of most competitive models, IH said. Calling its new plate planters the most productive in their class, IH said they have many of the lew features found on the air versions. Other features on the plate units include the row unit for faster, more uniform, seed germination emergence; new and im proved features that don’t require tools for greater ease of operation and faster adjustment; and new electronic controls for “worry free’" performance. Featuring a dramatic new look, IH said that the new line retamed only 113 parts from the previous models, but significantly mcreased parts commonality between models, up from 13 to 43 percent.

Lancaster, vice president and general manager for IH’s Agricultural Equip ment Group, North American Operations. “That’s why these plan ters are designed for faster, earlier planting, earlier rising crops.” In discussing its new row unit, IH said that this assures superior seed placement and soil/seed environment. Providing a new planting system based upon the principle of “the last soil out is the first soil in”, IH said this leads to faster, more uniform seed germination and emergence, because moist soil is returned to the area surrounding the seed. “These new row units represent a dramatic ad vancement in the art of creating an optimum en vironment for seed placement,” said Harold Boyanvosky, manager, Crop 2250 psi pressure washer Warwick Pump, Inc., Baltimore, MD, offers a line of hot and cold water pressure washers with performance up to 2250 psi.

Essentially, the new row unit refines the principle of placing seed into the ground, utilizing exclusive staggered 14-inch double disc openers, exclusive equalizing gauge wheels with unique “moisture saving” tires, an IH patented replaceable furrow finning point, new twin inverted covering discs and wide, flexible press wheels. New on the unit are the equalizing gauge wheels which gauge furrow depth equally, plus a special feature on the tires. Special “moisture saving” grooves trap moist soil along side the trench for uniform soil cover. The exclusive furrow firming point provides the narrowest “V” furrow in the industry, another new benefit. This is a result of using narrower openers, and a new and exclusive metal seed shoe for better depth control, be said. Additionally, new twin covering discs redeposit the moist soil directly over the seed, assuring that “the last soil out is the first soil in,” another IH exclusive. patented diaphragm pump which operates at 9Q percent efficiency. The pump is oil operated and has no mechanical attachments to cause wear at the diaphragm. The diaphragm cannot be damaged by suction blockage. The pump, which is direct coupled to the motor, can run dry without damage. It will also operate with boiling water and will handle most corrosive chemicals safely.
