A TESTIMONY FROM ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS
"I purchased a Snatcher in the fall of 1985 We installed it below the TMR
Mixer Unit I am using a mixture of corn silage, haylage and ground ear
corn The Snatcher is installed above the conveyor that carries feed to the
feed bunk It is surprising the amount of metal we have collected since
using the Snatcher It has picked up nails wire springs and pieces of metal
My reasonf or purchasing the Snatcher was that I lost a high priced first calf
heifer due to metal in the Spring of 1985 Since using the Snatcher we have
had no problems with hardware in our cattle Yours, D Witmern, Lancaster
Co, PA
Mr. Witmer is considered a good dairyman, but discovered that he still
needed protection against metal. We must again claim that this is a very
cheap type of insurance!
We also have Magnetic Bars covered with Stainless Steel,
for use where the Snatcher does not apply.

Understanding Soil Compaction
(Continued from Page Al 7)
swath covers 15 feet for each set of
tracks. Using 18-inch-wide tractor
tires, six-row machines can make
enough wheel tracks from the
tractor alone to cover every square
inch of a field approximately
twice. A high-horsepower tractor
uses tires a few inches wider, but
cuts the number of wheel paths in
half by using twelve-row equip
ment.
“With high-horsepower-to-wei
ght tractors, farmers are cutting
field traffic to new minimums by
using the horsepower and tractive
efficiency to farm wide swaths and
operate more than one implement
per trip,” Mueller said.
Axle Loads
The balanced weight design of
four-wheel-drive and mechanical
front-wheel-drive tractors also
provides a soil compaction control
benefit by carrying equal, or
nearly equal, loads on both axles.
This is particularly significant in
light of research that finds a strong
correlation between hard-to
remedy subsoil compaction and
total axle loads greater than 10,000
pounds.
As a result, the balanced weight
distribution designed into tractors
that drive both axles, such as four
wheel-drives and mechanical
front-wheel-drives, helps prevent
subsoil compaction. This benefit is
greatest when these tractors are

Soil compaction can be managed
by keeping axle loads down, field
traffic reduced and scheduling
field trips when moisture con
