ITHACA, NY - COMPUTER
DAIRY SYSTEMS, INC., an in
dependent consulting firm
specializing in dairy herd per
formance has introduced a new
“On-Farm Hand Held Computer”
system. This system offers im
mediate feedback on grains and
minerals needed to complete a
balanced cattle feeding ration.
For the past eight years CDS has
been performing dairy
management services in areas of
feed programming, forage
analyses, dairy management
records, herd health records and
farm accounting records. With
CDS’ new hand-held computer
system, feeding rations can be
calculated quickly, eliminating
long, costly delays typically
required to obtain this information
from outside sources.

capacity; an alpha-numeric
keyboard; 2Va-inch, 24-digit
thermal tape printout; a two-line
LED display panel; and a self
contained power source. It can also
operate off standard 110 volts.
The easy-to-use program data
base has been developed in
cooperation with Marshall E.

GARDENA, Ca. - The versatile
Honda ATV line continues to be the
right choice for utility work at
industrial jobsites and on farms
and ranches across the country.
Once thought of as only
recreational vehicles, the ver
satility of these vehicles soon made
them stars in commercial ap
plications too. Recognizing the
needs of agricultural and in
dustrial consumers, Honda
designed the Big Red - three
wheeler to fill the growing need for
a utility ATV. The response was so
great that Honda’s engineers
designed a four-wheel ATV to add
yet another dimension.
The 1985 FourTrax™ 250 four
wheeler and Big Red are prune
examples of work-minded
machines. They both handle dif
ficult terrain and operating con
ditions as well as being low-cost
and low-maintenance. Add to this
their great gas mileage and multi
purpose abilities, and you have the
right choice for agriculture and
industry.
Both of these hard-working
ATVs are built with the powerful
246 cc four-stroke engines designed
exclusively for all terrain vehicles.
They also feature five-speed
transmissions with a new super
low first gear, easy-to-engage
reverse and an automatic clutch.
And both have front and rear
suspension.
Whether you’re out at the con
struction area, drillsite or pasture,
these ATVs hre ready. Their
standard front and rear racks
carry tools and supplies to out-of
the-way areas. Heavy-duty
electric starters on these models
also make the workday a little
easier.
Since all businesses are con
cerned with the bottom line, Honda
ATVs help contribute. Honda's
three- and four-wheeler makes a
common-sense purchase as they
are priced much lower than other
off-road vehicles such as tractors
or four-wheel drive pick-ups.
In 1985, these modern day
workhorses will continue to share
the load in workplaces across the
country. The Big Red three
wheeler and FourTrax 250 will find
even more all-terrain applications
and provide dependable assistance
all work day long.
Suggested retai price of the Big
Red is $1,968.00 and the FourTrax
250 is $2.198.00.
