The Zinger 5200 in one of four fence controller models. It
can handle up to 75 miles of difficult fencing requirements.
Operation is trouble free because the self-cleaning feature

Zinger Offers Low-Cost
Fence Controllers
KANSAS CITY, MO The
new Zinger™ Fence Controllers
use the latest, low-impedance
technology coupled with a built-in
“electronic brain.” Electronic sen
sors measure the load on the fence
and automatically adjust the
output.
Zinger products are designed
and built to be reliable and
trouble-free. They are still priced
lower than other new-generation
controllers. Zinger offers a choice
of four models and backs each unit
with a bill two-year warranty.
The Zinger 1200 is suited for
light fencing requirements where
undergrowth is not a problem.
This unit delivers a short, sharp
shock as an effective deterrent for
all short-haired animals. The 1200
economically controls up to 25
miles of light fencing for horses,
cows, hogs, etc.
The Zinger 2400 delivers a
powerful shock and retains a high
pulsed current even in difficult
fencing applications. The Zinger
2400 controls up to SO miles of
fence through moderate under
growth. It can be used in all ter
rains for horses, cows and hogs,
and is suitable for short stretches
of sheep fencing.
For use on long stretches of

The 5200 effectively charges up to
75 miles of fence. Grass that

stays at maximum level, yet is safe
for livestock and humans.
The Zinger ISOOB uses a regu
lar 12-volt car battery to handle
fbncing needs where no 1 lOv cur
rent is available. This model is
rated for up to 25 miles of fence
with deterrent voltage adequate
for all types of animals. It may
also be used with sheep where
lower fence wire is more likely to
come in contact with grass. As
with the other Zinger controllers
listed, the ISOOB adjusts the pow
er flow for maximum results. A
separate AUTO power setting
extends battery life up to 60 days
under ideal conditions, and a built

motice of low battery charge.

Ford 9N Tractor Celebrates 50 Years
Massey-Ferguson introduces its mid-range conventional combine. It features high

Massey-Ferguson Announces
Combine For Small-Acreage Farms
DES MOINES, IA Massey-
Ferguson, the western world’s
largest tractor manufacturer,
announced the introduction of its
new mid-range conventional M-F
5650 Combine.
“This combine continues the
Massey-Ferguson tradition of per
formance, ease of maintenance,
reliability, and cost
effectiveness.’’ said Dale Brcka,
Product Marketing Manager for
combines. “This is the third new
combine in our product line, and
gives farmers a choice of models
to meet their harvesting needs for
small, medium, or large acreage
farms.”
The M-F 5650 delivers more
clean grain for increased harvest

small grains. Its size and price

“The market is becoming more
sophisticated. Buyers are inter

are worth more to them in their
operations than regular commodi
ty com. One example is high-oil
com for more energy in livestock
feed,” said Carrol Bolen, vice
president and director of specialty

the first steps to develop hybrids
with this important
characteristic.”

NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster)
In the hierarchy of mankind’s
labor-saving devices, the farm
tractor reigns supreme. And the
Ford 9N, introduced by Henry
Ford 50 years ago, has to be con
sidered one of the brightest jewels
in the royal crown.
“It’s no exaggeration to say
that, with the 9N tractor, Ford
gave the world a new, immeasur
ably better way of farming," notes
Ford New Holland Chairman
Robert F. Moglia. “It provided
farmers with more versatility and
maneuverability than ever seen in
a tractor.” The key to the 9N’s
superiority was its 3-point hitch, a
revolutionary new means of con
necting the tractor to plows and
other Held implements.
With the 3-point hitch, the
implement weight and draft were
transferred to the tractor wheels.
This provided better tire traction,
which - previously was accom
plished by adding weights to the
tractor. Those weights, of course,
increased tractor fuel consufflp-
make it the ideal choice for far
mers looking for a mid-range con
ventional combine.
The clean, simple, rugged
design of the M-F 5650 allows it
to withstand the toughest field
conditions. Servicing of the trac
tion drive is easy, as it is self
tightening, resulting in less slip
page, longer belt life and less
down time.
The 136-horsepower Perkins
turbo diesel engine performs up to
the reputation of all Perkins
engines. Its flat torque curve
delivers the lugging power needed
in heavy crop conditions, while it
squeezes more work out of every
gallon of fuel.
The machine’s high-inertia
cylinder generates up to three
hybrids is just one part of the
breeding program. This station
will have the responsibility of eva

June to take over the high-oil com
and waxy com breeding effort
Waxy com is most often used to
produce specialty starches for the
wet-milling industry and as an
animal feed.
The researchers also will test
white com hybrids in conjunction
with Pioneer’s existing program in
tion and made the tractor harder to
maneuver. With the 3-point hitch
transfer system, the 9N could do
the work of tractors nearly twice
its weight.
Hydraulic fingertip control of
implement depth in the soil also
added to improved performance
and made tractor driving much
easier. Farm wives and youths
quickly become expert drivers.
Safety was improved, too, because
of the 3-point hitch system. When
an obstruction was encountered by
the implement or plow, wheel
traction was momentarily inter
rupted so the tractor would not
rear up or tip as it might easily do
with a pull-type hltfch
arrangement.
The 9N had a 3-speed transmis
sion and enough power to handle a
2-bottom plow in most soils. With
the plow mounted, the tractor was
a maneuverable, compact machine
that didn’t need wide headlands
for turning. Even small'fields
could be famed very efficiently.
