chopping job. Uses less horsepower per ton
chopped than many bigger harvesters. Uses
less fuel. The 8-knife cutterhead is set into
the blower compartment for smooth, contin

more cutting efficiency.

foundation of the hog industry
rests on an animal that utilizes
feed at an efficient rate because
feed costs account for well over 50
percent in the total expense of

breeding stock has important long

“I am certain the animals we

that shows that a top boar of five
years ago would be considered
below average today. This trend is
continuing and I don’t see the in

continue to be better molds than
