'«r 'j t j j ' if • n.» * '• '> r i C6*Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 10,1988 The 1915 SP forage harvester from Ford New Holland Is powered by a 270-hp diesel engine and features a sharpening and shearbar-adjustment system. The shearbar adjustment, like knife sharpening, is automatic. Crop heads include windrow pickups, a 14-foot, twin-sickle, direct-cut combine heads for high-moisture ground ear corn and 3-, 4-, or 5-row crop units for corn or sorghum. Ford New Holland Introduces Harvester With Self-Adjusting NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster) The new Model 1915 forage harvester from Ford New Holland combines a large-capacity cutter head and the new Accucut knife and shearbar sharpening and adjustment system to reduce pow er requirements, improve length of-cut control and increase output. Product Manager Howard Winey explains the Accucut sys tem marks a major advance in for age harvesting technology. Cutter head knife sharpening is automa tic. Knives are reverse ground to maintain accurate knive bevel. When knives have been shar pened, the shearbar is automatical ly readjusted to the cuttcrbar to maintain accurate clearance. A Doublean Offers Belgian Blue Cattle Semen, Embryos NORWALK, CT A new breed of cattle has come to Ameri ca, and it could be the answer to the dilemma of the meat-eating public: How to savor tasty beef and still maintain a low-fat diet. The breed is called Belgian Blue, and the largest herd in North America has arrived under the ownership of Doublean, Inc., a Connecticut-based company. The meat of the Belgian Blue is naturally lean and low in choles terol. No drugs are needed to pro duce this exceptionally tender beef, and yet in recent studies, the meat was shown to be as low or iporiev.. g_ ,;gi herd in North America. Shown here is one of Doublean’s heifers, Boston Eye-Catcher. sensor in the shearbar provides precision adjustment control. Model 1915 operators have the convenience of an in-cab reverser for cutlcrhead knife grinding. Con trol of the automatic shearbar adjustment is also in cab. A push on a single control button does the trick, making it easy to readjust the shearbar between loads any lime throughout the working day. Maintaining accurate shearbar-to knife clearance is the key to the Model 1915 harvester’s ability to out-perform previous models, Winey notes. The Model 1915 is powered by a 270-hp diesel. All-hydrostatic drive is standard. Four-wheel drive is available. Durability of the new Genetics lower than comparable portions of chicken in the amount of fat and cholesterol. Doublean, Inc. is providing farms now with the genetics to raise Belgian Blue beef and veal, and is expecting the first product to be ready in the fall of 1989, with supply increasing throughout the 19905. The meat will be mark eted to selected restaurants and to individuals through mail order. For more information, contact D. Don Silvert, Doublean, Inc., P.O. Box 547, Norwalk, CT 06852; 203/846-9359. Forage Shearbar harvester has been improved as compared to previous models. The discharge blower now has four paddles and reinforced compo nents for longer life. Crop heads for the “1915” include, 3-, 4-, or 5-row crop units, a 14-foot twin-sicklc direct-cut, combine cornhcads for high moisture ear com harvest and 84- or 112-inch windrow pickups. The “1915” is equipped with electronic metal detector to help prevent costly cutterhead damage by detecting tramp iron that may be picked up accidentally. The detector offers freedom from lives tock “hardware disease” as an added bonus. Winey points out the large harvesting capacity of the Model 1915 makes it an ideal choice for large dairy and beef operations as well as for custom operators. With a 4-row head, it easily negotiates country roads where dairymen operate custom silage harvesting services as a side-line enterprise to their own farming operations. The machine has very ample capacity to put large acreages of crop into storage at peak nutrient value, he adds. Canadian Company Introduces Low-Impedance Fence Chargers ONTARIO, CANADA J.C. Hallman Manufacturing Co. Ltd., a leader in electronic fence con troller design and development, has introduced its line of 110-v and 12-v low-impedance chargers to the United States. Recom mended for pasture management, predator control, and all types of livestock fencing situations, Hall man chargers’ low-impedance design affords users greater reliability. Model 2910, with 4.2 joules of output, is a popular 110-v fencer for mid-range power. It’s designed to be effective on 25 miles ol wire and suggested retail is under Si (X). Hallman also offers Model 2730, a 12-v battery powered fence charger with a 4.5 joules of output. It delivers maxi mum power required to contain livestock on stubble or wheat for fall and winter grazing. This mod <<N x N N «>fr mini-bulk delivery system. The refillable System 110 enables precise metering of volumes, eliminates container rinsing and disposal, and reduces chances of spillage. Cyanamid Offers WAYNE, NJ Squadron R her bicide, along with Tri-Scept* and Prowl* herbicides, is now avail able from Cyanamid AgriCenter dealers in the System 110 mini bulk delivery system for more convenient storage and handling. The refillable System 110 enables precise metering of vol umes, eliminates container rinsing and disposal, and reduces chances of spillage, while providing adequate herbicide quantities for large and/or multiple fields. Included in the system are a cross linked polyolefin 110-gallon tank, 10-gpm pump, flow meter and hose. Improvements for 1989 include 50 percent heavier tank construction and a redesigned sump for complete pumpout. Squadron is a premix of the active ingredients in Prowl and Scepter* herbicides formulated to control more than 50 broadlcai weeds and grasses in soybeans at one application rate. Prowl con trols grasses and certain broadleaf weeds and is labeled for 14 crops including com and soybeans. Tri- Scept is a Scepter and trifluralin premix that controls more than 45 grasses and broadleaf weeds in el also is available with an option al solar panel. All units feature low impedance technology, which helps maintain higher guard vol tage over the entire fence. This provides for minimum shock dropoff despite weed growth or poor insulation. Solid-state (no moving parts) modular circuit boards minimize mechanical fai lure and assure speedy repair service.
