the tractor. Wide conditioning rolls allow a choice of a
wideswath or windrow forming. Hydraulic guard angle control
is optional.
New MC has 12-foot cut
NEW HOLLAND A new pivot
tongue mower-conditioner from
Sperry New Holland handles a 12-
foot cut and places the crop in
either a wide swath or a windrow.
The conditioner rolls are over 51-
feet wide to allow for wide swath
curing in humid weather. As an
alternative, the crop can be
deposited in a windrow for baling
or chopping without raking.
The new Model 499 mower
conditioner is hydrostatically
driven and features a Rolareel
header that converges 12 feet of
crop to the 9-foot-wide in
termeshing conditioner rolls
without the use of an auger. Twin,
counter-stroking sickles are gear
driven from both sides for easy
service and minimum vibration.
Agway appointment
SYRACUSE, NY - Norma J.
Bosserman, damp Hill, has been
named district manager of the
Pocono district of Agway’s leasing
subsidiary, Telmark, according to
Thomas M. Cowling, president,
Telmark Inc.
Bosserman, a graduate of
Thompson Business College,
joined Telmark in 1980 and served
as region leasing supervisor. She
has held several other positions
within Agway, the Department of
Transportation of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, and
others.
In her new position, Bosserman

tivities in 12 counties in Nor
theastern Pa. and 13 counties in
NJ.
New seed sales rep
SHIREMANSTOWN - John D.
Thompson, R 4 New Castle, has
joined Beachley-Hardy Seed
Company as a sales representative
in Western Pennsylvania, ac
cording to Hugh Mac William,
General Manager. Beachley-
Hardy is a division of Pennfield
Corporation, Lancaster.
Thompson earned his B.S. in
Agronomy from Penn State
University. Prior to joining
Beachley-Hardy, he was an
agronomist with Ashland Land
mark Cooperative, Ashland, Ohio.
The header is separate from the
conditioner which is mounted in
the main frame to minimize
bounce and improve flotation in
rough fields. Hydraulic guard
angle control is available as an
option.
Previous pivot-tongue units
shared the “499’5" ability to cut
from either the right or left side of
the tractor but didn’t have the
wide-swath capability of the new
haymaker. The ability to spread
the crop into a faster drying, wider
swath makes it a better match for
higher rainfall area alfalfa
growers. The 12-foot cut provides a
larger windrow to better match the
higher harvesting capacity of
today’s forage harvesters and
balers.

Binkley - Hurst holds field day
LITITZ Tractors by Case and
tillage equipment by Rhino
Products were the featured at
tractions during an October 18 field
day sponsored by Binkley and
Hunt Bros., Inc., Lititz.
Staged along Newport Road,
near Rothsville, the one-day event
began with a morning presentation
by factory representatives,
followed by lunch and a field
demonstration lasting until 3 p.m.
Supplying the pulling power for
the day’s activities, J.I. Case took
this opportunity to debut its 94
series tractors for the first time in
Pennsylvania.
This year’s 94-series units
feature on-board computers which
provide digital feedback for such
functions as engine and PTO rpm’s
and miles-per-hour. Of particular
interest to fanners was the series
“true ground speed sensor” that
monitors wheel slippage per
mitting operators to select tran
smission speeds more efficiently.
Also on hand were the com
pany’s 2394 and 2594 models
featuring 24-speed transmissions.

on Case’s 94 series. Marketing

OAK BROOK, II - White Farm
Equipment Company introduces
two new stronger disks the 273
and 274 for all disking purposes.
The new disks feature a larger,
heat-treated gang bolt, heavy-duty
bearings and larger, thicker
blades.
New 273 and 274 disks carry a
gang bolt that is 2.3 times stronger
than earlier models. It is heat
treated and IVfc inches in diameter,
giving it added strength. Also, the
bumpers are formed from ductile
steel, which is stronger than the
usual grey iron.
New heavy-duty bearings have
large inner rings to give the spools
more support—making it stronger
under bending loads. This bearing
life is greatly increased, with a
nylon-ball retainer and a wider
metal shroud protects the bearing
seals. To protect the bearings
against rocks. White Farm has
added a long bearing hanger to
shield the lower part of the heavy
duty flange.
Blades on the new 273 and 274 are
10 percent thicker and available in
three sizes: 20-inch, 22-inch and the
new 24-inch. These sizes coupled
with the two blade spacings allow
farmers to choose the disk to fit
their operation. For incorporation,
some models of the 273 have 7Vz
