Chore-Time
MILFORD, IN. Chore-Time
Cage Systems has released a new
cage cup watering system. “The
Chore-Time Swish Watering is a
simplified system. It has no spring
to wear out and has less than half
the parts of some of the competi
tion,” said Bob Krevinghaus, pro
duct manager at Chore-Time.
The Chore-Time Swish System
provides more usable watering
space per cup because of the large
round cup design, added Kreving
haus. The cup also is self cleaning.
When a bird triggers the valve a
“swishing” action floats feed parti
cles, causing them to be consumed,
thus a cleaner cup results. With
this self-cleaning cup and fresh
water with each triggering, the
birds will consume more fresh
water.
This watering system has more watering space per cup
and has a-celf-cleanlhg mechanism.

uniform depth ahead of the seed
drop for precise planting.
Heavy-duty down pressure
springs provide extra penetration
in hard soils and prevent bouncing
on rough ground. The 16” bubble
fluted coitlter blades slash through
clods and heavy trash to provide
minimum tillage with maximum,
uniform seed placement.
Cage Offers Watering Cup
The system is flexible because
of the use of the bird-proof plastic
water connection hose. This hole
allows for quick and easy cup
replacement and'allows for the
main water supply line to be placed
in different locations. The cup can
be mounted in any style of cage
and toward the front or back of
most cages. The Cage Layer Sys
tem offers an exclusive three-point
locking system to insure rigid cup
mounting. The Brood Grow Sys
tem has an adjustable cup which
can slide up and down easily on a
plastic track. This allows cup
height to be easily adjusted as birds
grow. The plastic track installs in a
slit in the cage.

White-New Idea Presents
Mid-Range Heavy-Duty Tractor
COLDWATER, Oh. A new ■
heavy-duty, row-crop tractor in the
mid-range horsepower category,
the White 140 rated at 137 pto
horsepower at 2200 rpm, was
recently introduced by White-New
Idea Farm Equipment Company at
their corporate headquarters in
Coldwater, Ohio. This new heavy
weight features a six-cylinder, 359
C.I.D. Cummins “B” diesel
engine delivering 26% torque rise
and near “Constant Power” with
fuel efficiency ‘ ‘as fuel efficient as
the best engine available today”.
Turbocharging and aftercooling
were major factors in achieving the
unique combination of lean fuel
consumption and strong lugging
power.
A refined 3x6 Over/UndcrPow
ershift transmission, with 3 power
shift speeds, in each of 6 ranges,
provides 18 forward and 6 reverse
speeds. This broad choice of travel
speeds enables the operator to
match power to the job for opti
mum efficiency. The Powershift
transmission coupled to the 20 per
cent torque rise of the engine pro
vides a speed range of 40 percent
in each gear of the constant mesh
transmission without loss of power
over the entire speed range. Power
hydraulic differential lock,
inboard planetary final drives, and
heavy 3 3/8-inch axle shafts are
also standard. A 540/1000 rpm
independent pto is hydraulically
actuated through a reliable wet,
multi-disc clutch.
A 22 gpm charged, closed
center hydraulic system provides
2250 psi of constant pressure to
operate the category 111-n three
point hitch and new combination
float/detent remote valves.
A heavy-duty PosiTrac Full
Power Front Axle provides the
shortest turning radius of any trac
tor in the 130-150 horsepower
range while also boasting a near 2
