PST-14’ Pulverizer In Transport Position This concept of transport pulverizer is new to the industry. Machine weight is rotated over the tires for transport which consider ably reduces the drawbar hitch weight. Transport pulverizer offers choice of 20” ductile iron wheel (which carries a 5-year limited warranty), 20” notched rollers, 20” crowfoot, 18” smooth, 16" notched or 15" smooth wheels with sprockets. P-SERIES SINGLE GANG ers Lawrence Muller and Steven Fales, is a direct result of efforts to determine methods of getting the most benefit out of a pasture with the least amount of effort As it is, the economics of using specially planted and monitored paddocks to augment traditional grain and silage diet is sdll in qu&tion. But because of experiments conducted within the last several yean, indications are good that pasture management will only become more efficient and more widely practiced. The types of research going on with respect to pastures all center around the larger research with deals with the basics of using pas tures to feed cattle, and the nutrient value and digestability of the for ages provided. That larger research serves as the hub of many smaller satellite projects just as many specific questions arise when a broad ques tion is asked, the coune of scientif ic endeavors follows a similar pattern. Ron Hoover, a senior research aide who led one group of Ag Progress tour-goers, is involved with variety trials with pasture forages. The purpose is to attempt to dis cover which forage cows select over other, which are highest in nutrient value and which produce the most feed volume. “Some farmers out there know what they’re doing with pasture forages, but many are asking about new technologies for fencing.
