Gehl announces
skid steer loader
WEST BEND, Wisc.-
Convenience, power and comfort
features are incorporated in the
design of the new 4510 skid steer
loader according to the Gehl
Company, West Bend, Wise.
On-the-go farmers can now
make fast attachment changes
without leaving the cab. The new
Hydro-Lock feature allows use of
loader hydraulics to switch from
the manure fork to the grapple fork
to the post hole auger or to any
other attachment in the versatile
full line.
Designed to be up and away from
dirt and debris, the tilt cylinders
are industrially rated, and self
leveling load action-a standard
feature unique to Gehl skid
loaders—keeps loads even
throughout the entire lift cycle.
The 4510 is SAE-rated at 1150
pounds with the Ford industrial
gas engine and at 1225 pounds with
the Perkins diesel. Both engines
are water-cooled.
Purina introduces
new hog concentrate
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Ralston Purina
Company is now offering a 38
percent protein, high energy
concentrate for hog rations that
allows producers to use
significantly larger amounts of
their own com. The product, High
Octane Hog Chow 38, will com
plement the existing High Octane
27 concentrate, and High Octane
complete feeds.
“The new 38 percent protein high
energy concentrate gives
producers what they need to take
advantage of abundant grain while
still providing high energy per
formance to their hogs,’’ said Dr.
Bud Harmon, director of swine
research for Purina.
“A producer will now be able to
switch from High Octane 27 to High
Octane 38, and back, depending on
the availability of grain, while

Houune maintenance and clean

with the swing-away grill, roll
back overhead guard and quick
clean engine compartment and
cab.
The cab promotes operator
comfort and efficiency. With new
split sidemounted T-bar controls,
access to the cab is unobstructed.
The seat is wide and comfortable
and the adjustable armrests are
padded. Anns stay on the armrests
during operation of the easy-to-use
T-bar controls for precise, nimble
handling, load control and reduced
operator fatigue. Full overhead
instrumentation allows better
visibility. The new ROPS/FOPS
cage features rear safety glass to
reduce noise levels and keep debris
out.
Mechanical load arm locks are
designed for use during service of
the 4510. In addition, the operator
must be in the seat before the load
arms can be lowered or the engine
started.
getting similar performance,” he
continued.
“Producers using High Octane
38 will use 43 percent less con
centrate than they do with the High
Octane 27. That nets out, on the
average, to a producer using 1.7
more bushels of his own grain per
finished hog,” said Dr. Harmon.
“High energy rations have
played an increasingly important
role in the industry in the put few
years, and this new concentrate
will accelerate this trend,
especially with ample supplies of
grain,” concluded Dr. Harmon.

ABS to contract ‘super cows’
DE FOREST, Wise. American
Breeders Service announces plans
to contract as many as 30 “super”
genetic cows within the next two
years for the purpose of evaluating
the genetic merit of identical twin
bull calves through its industry
leading progeny test program.
“These identical -twin calves,
produced by embryo splitting, will
be among the highest pedigree
indexed young bulls in the breed,”
explains Robert E. Walton,
President, American Breeders
Service.
“Our original intent will be to
progeny test a significant number
of sets of identical twins to gain
concrete data proving identical
twin bulls transmit identical
genotypes. There is strong
evidence to that effect this
project will also give us the
necessary information to make
more accurate evaluation of these
bulls through our progeny test
program," he remarks.
Project plans call for ABS to
work closely with the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in developing
state-of-the-art research in genetic
improvement, embryo transfer
and the production of identical
twins through a variety of
techniques.
The joint ABS/University of
Wisconsin research project will be
funded by W.R. Grace & Co., ABS’
parent company. Grace’s financial
support is in keeping with the
firm’s continuing efforts to
stimulate biotechnology research
in all areas of efficient food
production. This specific project
applies directly to the genetic
improvement of future generations
of livestock.
ABS' main involvement will
center around the ABS Research
staff gathering embryos on the
farm from specially mated ABS
contract cows for the sole purpose
of producing identical twins to
enter the ABS progeny test
program.
These embryos will be micro
surgically divided and each section
will be transferred to its own
recipient located at the U.S. Dairy
Forage Research Center, Prairie
du Sac, Wisconsin, the entire
procedure to be completed within
12 hours of recovering the em
bryos. All identical bull calves that
result will become part of ABS’
young sire program. Heifer calves
will join the U.S. Dairy Forage
Research Center herd to benefit
that operation’s future forage
research. Like the bulls, these
heifers will be of high genetic
merit and will greatly enhance the
understanding of forage utilization
to study twin bull calves
by high, milk producing dairy
cattle.
Improving and perfecting the
micro-manipulation of embryos
through research such as this
allows for dramatic changes in
embryo transfer technology.
Cloning, freezing, sexing and
multiple reproduction of high
genetic value embryos can mean
more efficiency in recognizing
those truly superior sires to offer
Vermeer adds 2 new
giant round balers
PELLA, lowa—The next step up
in giant round balers has been
introduced by the Vermeer
Manufacturing Company, Pella,
lowa - Vermeer “H” Series
balers, models GOSH and SO4H.
The H Series builds upon the
popular Vermeer “G” round
balers by adding new features and
options, and by increasing bale
capacity. The GOSH, for example,
makes bales up to 2,000 pounds - a
ton of bay packed into a six-foot
diameter, five-foot wide round
bale.
But Vermeer officials say that
advanced design features, not
bigger capacities, are the big news
in their H Series balers. Vermeer
upgraded the belt tension unit to a
single spring and hydraulic
design; and added tougher, three
ply belts, along with a heavy-duty
belt tightener assembly. The H
Series features a Walterscheid
PTO that eliminates chain chatter,
even in near 90* turns. A new, six
bar pickup uses rubber-mounted
teeth for longer life, and cleaner,
smoother pickup. And the H Series
The new Vermeer 605 H Round baler builds bales with up to
a ton of hay.
through artificial insemination
(A. 1.).
“Long term, we believe we will
have better bulls available for
widespread A.I. service through
the sampling of identical twins,”
says Walton. “This program, comb
ined with our current rate of
sampling young sires, can
definitely speed up improvement
in the genetic merit of the sires we
offer.”
continues Vermeer’s long-standing
commitment to quality, with
heavy-duty #BO roller chains,
maintenance-free sealed bearings
on all idlers, heavy-duty double
roller bearings on the lower drive
roller, and solid unibody con
struction with an 11-gauge tubular
steel frame throughout..
The Vermeer H Series balers
also continue Vermeer’s ex
ceptional performance record by
producing the best bales in the
held. Vermeer round bales are
consistently solid, from core to
outside wrap. They’re weather
tight, self-storing bales that offer
up to 25% more nutritional value
than other round bales.
Vermeer introduced Big Round
Balers bade in 1972, and Mutr’ve
put a decade oil field experience,
engineering improvements, and
proven performance into their new
H Series line. And it shows.
Because with nearly two dozen
other makes of round balers on the
market today, Vermeer is still the
biggest-selling giant round baler in
the business.
