Bush Hog cites side mount cutter
CARLISLE Bob Weaver, of
Carlisle, Bush Hog representative for
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, has
announced the addition of the new
SM-60 side mount rotary cutter to his
extensive line of rotary cutters and
other farm implements.
“The new SM-60 features the
largest range of cutter head
movement available in the indusby,”
Mr. Weaver said. “It is the ideal
cutter for applications such as
maintaining slopes along roads and
rights-of-way; dealing and main
taining fence rows; maintaining
banks around farm ponds, city
lagoons and commercial fish ponds
and maintaining man made drainage
ditches where proper care of
vegetation is essential to control of
water runoff.”
The SM-GO’s cutter head has a
vertical movement range of 175
degrees, 90 degrees up for jobs such
as maintaining fence rows and 85
degrees down for jobs such as
mowing ditches. The cutter also
has 31-V4 inches of lateral
movement.
Weaver reported that the lateral
movement is convenient for the
operator because the counterweight
which reduces stress on both the
cutter and the tractor’s 3 pt hitch

counterweight and its automatic
adjustment feature are standard

Appel attends nutrition institute
SELINSGROVE - John R.
Appel, nutritionist for K & L Feeds,
Selinsgrove, recently completed a
three-day Nutrition Institute
sponsored by the National Feed
Ingredients Association.
The Institute, which was held in
Chicago, was part of a series of
continuing education programs
offered by NFIA for emplolyees of
companies in the feed ingredient
industry.
Because it is especially difficult

nutrition to stay current with all

less by having too much equip
ment, compared with the risk of
having equipment that is too
small.”
Other factors seem to creep into
the picture, too. “I know no-till
farmers who can handle all their
planting on 400 acres just fine with
a small tractor,” notes USDA’s
Colvin. “Only problem is, their
little tractor can’t pull their big
gravity wagons empty, let alone
full of grain, under less than ideal
conditions. That complicates their
plans to cut tractor size pretty
fast.”
Of course, another factor which
will influence your future tractor
horsepower selection is the drive
mode you choose. As Stover says,
“It’s quite possible that some
farmers may find they can get by
with one less model size, as per
formance is improved with all
wheel drive and the 2 + 2 concept.
“On the other hand, some far
mers are finding they like the one
pass tillage concept with com
bination tillage and planting rigs.
In those cases, their horsepower
needs may very will increase. It

just depends on their tillage plans.
That will continue to be the key for
most operators.”
Some valuable perspective is
offered by lowa State’s Edwards:
“In the Midwest, machinery cost
makes up about a third of your non
land production cost, and it’s not
too tough to change capacity if you
need to.”
And when you are shopping for
the right tractor in the future, you
may find a different pitch coming
from your dealer no matter
what color of paint he sells.
“Everybody in the industry, and
IH specifically, will be doing a
better job in the area of counseling
farmers in the cost vs. benefit
area,” predicts Stover.
“Instead of the traditional pitch
about getting 10 percent more
drawbar horsepower with a par
ticular option like front-wheel
assist, we all need to explain what
an expenditure like this will mean
to that farmer’s cost per bushel of
growing com, soybeans, wheat, or
whatever enterprise he’s in.
“That’s the kind of information
the farmer’s going to need and
that we’ll want to provide if
we’re both going to do well in the
future.” Stover concludes.
