Now, with the introduction of the ML and MR Series, Brillion offers a longer, high-clearance frame for better flow of trash through the machine. Another new feature is the non-rotating tooth bar that holds the teeth in a fixed pre-set position that keeps them at the proper angle, regardless of the working depth of 2” to 6’. Other features and options are shown on the reverse side. * Contact Brillion Iron Work* lor MaS*. & 3$ BETTER SEEDBEDS AND BIGGER YIELDS With some types of tillage the soil is loosely packet) with many lumps that allow moisture to evaporate quickly through air pockets. Lost moisture reduces speed of germination and impeeds the spread of small feeder roots in their search for nourishment The Bnllion Pulvi- Mulcher crushes both surface and buried lumps and converts fall and spring plowing into a dod-free seedbed The firmed, mulched soil locks in moisture, especially at the root level. Soil nutrients become readily available to the young feeder roots, since they can reach out in all directions without struggling against clods. Nutrients then travel through the root system, developing stronger plants, which in turn result in bigger yields. CONTACT YOUR BRIL! AOAMSTOWN EQUIP., MC. Box 45t, A4amt!own MLIEB EQUIP. CO.
