New line of rotary hog feeders has been introduced by
Farmcraft Agri- Systems.
Rotary hog feeders debut
DELPHI, Ind. A new line of
rotary hog feeders featuring an
extra-heavy electro-welded grill,
fused-on tough glass-coated feeder
trough and rust and corrosion
resistant stainless steel drum has
just been introduced by its
manufacturer, Farmcraft Agri-
Systems division of Underhill
Industries, Inc., P.O. Box 256,
Delphi, Ind. 46923. These new
feeders are warranted to give up to
10 years of service and are offered
in three and six bushel capacity
models.
Wear and abrasion caused by
rough and wet hog snouts, as well
as rust and corrosion are
minimized by a thick, super-hard
and smooth glass coating all over
the troughs, inside and out. The
super-glossy surface discourages

Hesston introduces mower, rake
HESSTON, Ks. Hesston
Corporation has introduced the
new Model 1030 Rotary Disc
Mower, 1035 Conditioner at
tachment and the Model 3700
Tedder-Rake.
The 1030 Rotary Mower can be
used either as a mower, or with the
addition of the 1035 conditioner
attachment, as a mower
conditioner. It features two drums
and three discs, each with two
cutting knives, for total cutting
width of 90 inches. Drums and
discs are driven with a PTO
driveshaft through the top of the
frame for plug-free cutting.
According to Hesston Product
Sales Manager, Dexter Schaible,
“The 1030 Rotary Disc Mower
offers high capacity cutting in the
toughest hay or grass conditions.
Adjustable lower pins permit easy
off-setting of the mower up to five
inches, so tractors with wide tire
spacings won’t run over uncut hay.
The 1030’s folding design provides
a transport width of 90 inches for
easy roading.”
The optional 1035 Conditioner
attachment is powered by a
separate PTO shaft running from
the transverse-mounted gearbox
on the rear of the machine. “This
attachment offers adjustability for
varying crop conditions,” says
Schaible. “One roller is equipped
with rubber vanes that mesh with a
metal counter roller. This design
ensures thorough conditioning
across the full width of the
machine.”
According to Schaible,
everything is adjustable on
Hesston’s new Model 3700 Tedder-
Rake, including tines, swath
deflector, basket position and
basket rotation. The two PTO
driven baskets are independently
driven and adjustable to match
conditions or contour. Basket
raking speed is variable down to
180 rpm without sacrificing raking
speed or capacity.
“The horizontal, spring-loaded
double tines gently feather the
crop sideways, automatically lift
for transport, and instantly pivot
up when striking an obstruction,’’
said Schaible.
“When windrowing, the crop is
moved sideways, so the Tedder-
Rake is ideal for raking near
fences, ditches or in windv ron-
NEW HOLLAND - The new
Model 505 baler is for commercial
hay producers, says Doug Gammie
of Sperry New Holland. It’s
designed for the irrigated alfalfa
country where it’s easy to cure hay
very dry for no-mold, high-density
baling. Automatic bale wagon
handling for the 150 pound bales is
assumed. Bale cross section is
16x23 inches.
Engine drive versions are
supplied with either a 50HP diesel
or a 56HP gas engine. PTO units
are equipped with a 90HP drive
line so larger tractors can be used.
The new baler is different from
earlier models in both knotter and
feeder design, according to
Gammie who is product manager
for balers at New Holland.
The feeder is a new extra-duty
Flow-Action that replaces the
Channel Flow of the “500”. This is
a very durably built unit. The tine
bar is steel, not aluminum. It has a
solid connection to the drive chain
(without springs). It’s driven from
one end and has fewer parts than
the design it replaces. The more
accurate feeding results in the
largest baling capacity of any
machine in its class, along with
better bale.hape. Bale comers are
square and dense. This improves
bale handling characteristics when
the hay is shipped.
The improved knotter life is a
benefit of a change to hardened
steel bill hook rollers (from brass).
The bill hook cam on the knotter
frame is hardened steel (replacing
