of the Open and 4-H Dairy
Show at the South Mountain
Fair, Adams County.
Christine had been busy
since 6 dju. exhibiting her
Hplsteins in the show ring.
Both unloaders feature a double-hook
gathering chain with hardened steel cut
ters and claws that rip through frozen
and packed silage. When you push the
- button, you know you can count on a
smooth feeding operation.
Evaluate our powered silo wall cutters.
Spring tension holds 4 self-sharpening
steel cutter blades in place to follow the
curve of the silo wall. This keeps silage
from building up along the walls, so you
can be sure that you’re getting all the
feed where it belongs ... in the feeder
and not stuck to the walls.
The claws and cutters of the gathering
chain deliver a steady flow of silage day
after day.
