Earcorn mill is versatile
CHAMBERSBURG - Beef and
dairymen who want the feed value
of the com cobs can have it both
ways with the Automatic Earcorn
Roller Mill, according to Ryder
Supply, Chambersburg.
If harvesting the ear,
Automatic’s patented crusher
head shells the corn and reduces
the cob ahead of the rolls which
crimp the com and reduce the cob
farther. The result is a highly
palatable, easily digestible corn
and-cob mix without dust, fines or
husks. The Mill handles up to 900
bu./hr. whole earcorn into the silo.
People who use a combine can
utilize Automatic’s patented Cob-
Catcher Sieve which replaces the
cleaning shoe on the combine. It
MF introduces round balers
DES MOINES, la. Massey-
Ferguson introduces the MF 1455
and MF 1565 Round Balers
designed for maximum round bale
quality and longer baler
durability.
The MF 1455 rolls bales up to 46
inches wide and 60 inches in
diameter, while the MF 1565
makes bales up to 60 inches wide
and 72 inches in diameter. A bale
size indicator is standard on each
model.
The Constant Velocity (CV) PTO
The new MF 1565 round baler from Massey-Ferguson rolls
bates up to 60 inches wide and 72 inches in diameter. A
Constant Velocity (CV) PTO joint transmits torque smoothly
through a wide range of angles and prevents the speed
fluctuations during turns that can cause chain chatter and
wear on drive components. Hydraulics twine wrapping
mechanisms are standard on the MF 1565.
lets the cobs fall through with the
grain while keeping leaves and
husks out. The resulting corn-and
cob mix can be processed directly
through the Earcorn Mill at up to
1800 bu./hr. The unique crusher
head and Automatic’s one-fast-roll
principle give greater volume with
less horsepower. The Automatic
Earcorn Mill is available in sizes to
handle from 600-900 bu./hr. whole
earcorn and 1200-1800 bu./hr. corn
and cob mix or shelled com.

through a wide range of angles and
prevents the speed fluctuations
during turns that can cause chain

ponents. The joint allows for
uniform power transmission and
continuous baling on turns up to 70
degrees. The CV joint simplifies
hitch arrangements to suit dif

Roundworm treatment in pigs studied
BY GLENN B. KNIGHT
LANCASTER Roundworm in
pigs was the subject as nearly 100
fanners gathered July 12 at the
Guernsey Barn here.
The program, jointly sponsored
by Wayne Feeds and Pfizer, was
the culmination of a 35-day test
involving three roundworm control
products. Three groups of three
pigs each were infected with
roundworm and each group was
treated with a widely recognized,
but different medication.
One group was medicated with
Tylan and Tramisol, the second
with ASP-250 and Aatgard while
the last group received treatment
with Banminth and Mecadox.
According to Dr. Homer E.
Connell, Pfizer research
veterinarian, “the purpose of the
trial is twofold first to demon
strate the effect of roundworm
larval migration on livers and
lungs and secondly to demonstrate
the effectiveness of various
medications in preventing that
migration.”
For the trial, one pig from each
of the three groups was sacrificed
through humane electrocution so
light springy crops or in heavy
damp crops for silage, both models
feature self-contained hydraulic
bale density control. The lower
drive roller is also equipped with
heavy duty double roller bearings.
An optional second spring on the
bale tension assembly is available
for added bale density.
Belts on the MF1455 and MF1565
round balers are sure-grip triple
ply, able to withstand high
pressure during difficult baling
conditions.
Hydraulic twine wrapping
mechanisms are standard on both
the MF 1455 and MF 1565.
The pick-up is suspended on both
sides of the balers and linked by a
transverse rod for a positive and
level lift. This feature reduces
pick-up sagging to one side and
eliminates sideways trailing of the
gauge wheel when cornering.
Both models are equipped with
rubber-mounted pick-up teeth, less
prone to loosening or breaking for
reduced down time.
Other Equipment
Optional equipment for the MF
1455 and MF 1565 round balers
includes a special Brome Grass Kit
to handle extremely dry, springy
material.
For farmers interested in
producing silage inexpensively
with a round baler, i special Silage
Knife option is available. The knife
permits baling damp hay without
the material wrapping around the
lower drive roller and maintains
clean, positive drive without
damage to belts or lacings.
that the liver and lungs of each
could be inspected by the
assembled farmers from Lan
caster, Bucks and Lebanon ’
Counties.
“Roundworm is the most
frequent of all swine parasites,”
Dr. Connell noted, “and it can be
found everywhere in the country. ’ ’
Last year the Pfizer Agricultural
Division veterinarian gave 196
similar demonstrations to nearlv

GLENDORA, Calif. - Ram Bird
has just expanded its line of
polyethylene tubing. The new line
now includes tubing sized from 1/8
inch up to 1 inch. Also, included in
this new Family of tubing is a

is subjected to rigorous testing to
meet established ASTM standards.
New spreaders announced
NEW HOLLAND - Three new
box-type spreaders from Sperry
New Holland offer 215, 260 and 340
cubic feet load capacity. The
largest of the three, the Model 680,
features 20-inch tandem axle
oscillating wheels to ease heavy
loads over rough ground.
Single beaters are standard on
the new spreaders. All are
available with optional upper
beaters for larger load capacity
and widespreads for top dressing.
‘Fish-bowl” slurry sides and
hydraulic engates are also
available for the new spreaders.

The tubing is also compatible with
Rain Bird compression and insert

making them ideal for handling a
variety of manure from pen
packed material to slurry.
Standard features include
corrosion resistant steel sides
warranted to last the life of the
spreader; high-strength steel A
frame chassis design, 1-inch board
floors, and a heavy-duty jack. The
jack is mounted inside the frame
for protection in tight turns.
Five other Sperry New Holland
box-type spreaders range from 122
to 570 cubic foot capacity. Tank
type and slurry spreaders are also
available.
