Compared to conventional side
valve engines, the AV Series’
automatic decompression system
reduces the recoil starter pulling
force by 40 percent Electric Start

AV55008 through AV65008.
Easy cranking and electronic igni

Blair Courier of Mill Hall, Pa. uses Asgrow soybeans on
his "Dairy of Distinction" to reduce the cost of protein for
the milking herd. Sixty acres of Asgrow soybeans have
been grown and roasted each of the fast three years.
"Asgrow A 3127 is the variety that I tried first, three years
ago. I tried another brand but I'm growing Asgrow soy
beans now because they yielded more. The Asgrows'
have real good standability, too."

Kubota’s air-cooled 4-cycle
gasoline engine consumes SO per
cent less oil than comparable side
valve engines. As a safety mea
sure, the Oil Watch system auto
matically stops engine operation
before die oil reaches an unsafe
level.
Kubota’s original sound reduc

combustion and exhaust systems.
Coupled with oversized mufflers
that include USD A approved
spark arrestors, noise levels are
reduced by 3 to 7 dB(A) over con
ventional side valve engines.
Its brushless condenser load
compensation system provides
reliable, maintenance-free voltage
regulation with minimum fluctua
tion, ± 3 percent or better (models

els, output is consistently stable at
120 and 240 volts. (All models
feature 12 volt D.C. output.)
Electric start models feature
standard automatic choke and an
hourmeter to help schedule pre
ventive maintenance. Voltmeters
and Oil Watch indicators inform
the operator at a glance. The Twist
lock receptacle feature prevents
accidental cord unplugging, while
built-in circuit breakers/protectors
provide additional safety for AC
and DC circuits.
In addition to features such as
lower noise levels, stable power
generation and convenient opera

a one year limited warranty.
