FEED TRANSPORT
r y^i
Now with convenient
hydrostatic drive
and extended battery life!
Load it full. Press the new hydrostatic
control lever. And you’re on your way to
feed silage, haylage or any other feed to
your dairy herd quickly, cleanly and
conveniently.
With new hydrostatic drive, this new
Series IV cart gives you fully variable
speed control. Fingertip operation
provides any travelling speed you select.
The Weaverline Series IV cart puts you
in complete command of your feeding
operation. As your Series IV cart moves
into position in front of each stall, set the
auger and apron-system indicator to
discharge the rate of feed you desire. Then
shut it off and move on to the next cow. Or
if you want, lay a continuous flow of feed.
Fast-flow front-end discharge with
flexible deflector makes it easy to put your
feed right where you want it.
No matter which of the three models you
choose, you can depend on Weaverline
advanced engineering design. Upkeep,
time and labor saved will more than pay
for the cost of a Weaverline Series IV
transport cart.

Higher PROFITS
Group feeding is costly and ineffi
cient. To maximize your profits,
you’ve got to supply each cow with
the exact amount of feed she needs
to maintain her milk production level. The com
puterized Selective Feeder Executive 8085
System lets you do just that. It's so effective,
most dairymen find the system pays for itself in
reduced feed bills and increased production in
less than a year!
It’s simple
You determine a daily feeding allowance for each cow by p
gramming the computer to dispense a certain amount of fe
during each 6,8 or 12 hour cycle. You choose a unique rat
for each animal by mixing supplement and base rations w
the computer.
• Each cow wears an inexpensive, reliable identification ta
• Cows can feed &t any feeding station.
• Feeding auger automatically stops when cow steps away
• Each cow receives only the amount of feed you have p
grammed for it.
