Now you can rake and ted with the same machine the Model 254 rake tedder.
The Model 254 lets you perform a variety of hay-making functions. You can
rake a swath into a windrow, rake 2 windrows into one, turn windrows, and
move crop away from treelines and fences. And, without tools, you can convert
the “254” into a tedder that fluffs up wet, matted-down crop for quick drying.
Stop in and let us show you the flexibility of the Model 254 rake tedder.

In order to obtain and maintain a
raw milk permit, a producer must
adhere to the most stringent
standards set by the state. The
dairy is inspected several times a
year by a state inspector, and the
milk is sampled by state approved
laboratories bi-monthly and must
pass several specific tests for
coliform, bacteria, and somatic
cell counts. There can be no an
tibiotics in the milk.
