OXFORD Unseasonably
warm weather and dry conditions
marked Allis Chalmers’ Sept. 20
Autumn Ag Showcase hosted by
Hostetter Grain, o! Oxford.
Though a raindate of Sept. 22 had
been set, precipitation seemed to
be the last thing on Mother
Nature’s mind as farmers combed
the fields enveloped in dust and
mid-90-degree temperatures.
Farmers who took time out from
their busy schedules were treated
to lunch and a demonstration of
just what Allis Chalmers products
could do when confronted with dry,
compacted soil.
Factory representatives and
local Allis Chalmers dealers were
on hand with six tractors to

The word for the day was "dust" as farmers took to the

and tilling equipment during the company's one-day Autumn
Ag Show Case.

demonstrate the latest in Allis
Chalmers tilling equipment in

field cultivators and the com

Mintil.
Highlighting the show were a
number of Allis Chalmers front
wheel-assist tractors, demon
strating their four-wheel-drive
capability. Allis Chalmers offers
front-wheel-assist on all of its
tractors from 40 to 305 horsepower.
Though September is
traditionally a busy time for area
farmers with plenty of com to be
harvested, Dan Lutz, a Designated
Accounts Representative for Allis
Chalmers, said he was quite
pleased with the day’s turn-out.
