The 3368 series rotary cutter from Bush Hog can do a lot for you. With a 14-foot
swath it clips material up to two-inches thick to as low as one-inch high. So it’s ex
cellent for general grounds maintenance, pasture and stalk cutting. For row crops,
when fine shredding is required, an optional shredder attachment pulverizes heavy
stubble to produce mulched crop residue.
The 3368 rotary cutter is available with a self-leveling pull hitch, a 3-point lift hitch,
or an economical semi-mount hitch. You get a choice of laminated, pneumatic or
airplane wheels. And there's more to choose —such as hydraulic or manual height con
trol. Come in today and see all the 3368 has to offer...and all it can do for you.

According to Brooks, executive
editor of “Country/USA,” the
book is the first of its kind in many
respects. “Never before has such a
diverse group of professionals
been involved in a single theme
effort,” he explained. “We called
upon many kinds of photogra
phers wildlife, landscape,
nature, photojoumalists, corporate
and commercial - as well as agri
cultural shooters. The resulting
pictures are as diverse as the

tural journalist. In it, Strock says,
“If you already live in the country,
turn these pages and rediscover
the everyday miracles that are
easy to take for granted when they
surround you. If you came from
the country, this book will help
you rediscover the many joys you
treasure in your memory. And
even if you’ve always been a city
dweller, let this book help assure
you that out in the country are
those who are the custodians of a
life that some would have you
believe is only a memory.”
