PM* The General loader-backhoe from Sperry New Holland is an rticulated 4-wheel drive, hydrostatic diesel powered unit. Loader-backhoe added NEW HOLLAND - A new •*- wheel drive, articulated loader backhoe has been added to the 7- model Sperry New Holland skid steer loader line. The 53-HP diesel hydrostatic drive Model LB-620 is one of the designs acquired from The General Inc., Wichita, KS. Other designs include articulated loaders and rough terrain forklifts. The LB-620 loader has 5/8 cubic yard capacity. The low-profile backhoe has 11-foot digging capability. An optional, extendable hoe allows digging to 18-foot depth. The special appeal of the new articulated LB-620 is its ability to maneuver in spaces where tractor type loader-backhoes are too clumsy, and to move well in poor traction conditions, the 53-HP diesel provides power for fast Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 23,1984—D9 Bean herbicide okayed WAYNE, N.J. Scepter, a new soybean herbicide from American Cyanamid, has been granted an Experimental Use Permit (EUP) by the Environmental Protection Agency. The permit covers the use cycle tunes. The compact size of the LB-620 simplifies job-to-job transport. Its (shipping) weight of less than 7,000 pounds allows safe trailer tran sport behind one-ton pickups. Its low profile allows towing through overpasses. On the job, it can work under a 7-foot overhead clearance. Loader dump height allows dumping into large dump trucks. The new loader-backhoe will be manufactured in the Sperry New Holland Mountville, Pa. facility. of Scepter herbicide on soybeans for the control of a wide spectrum of broadleaf wepds and sedges in 31 states. Extensive field trials from 1981 through 1983 demonstrated that the new herbicide has excellent soybean selectivity and is especially effective on cocklebur, lambsquarters, pigweed, prickly sida, nutsedge and volunteer corn. The compound provides season long weed control when applied at recommended dosage rates and fits all current soybean tillage systems. Scepter can be applied preplant incorporated, preemergence or postemergence on soybeans. Timing of application is based on climatic conditions, weed spec trum, emerged species and ap plicator preference. Generally, one application will provide out standing control of weeds and Scepter is compatible with other major soybean herbicides.
