C6-Lancastar Farming, Saturday, May 23, 1992 The New Holland Model 580 baler from Ford New Holland features a 16 x 18 inch bale chamber and 80-inch pickup. An exclusive rotary feed design and higher torque slip clutch add capacity and reliability for commercial hay growers and custom operators. 75-Inch Pickup On Square Baler NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster Co.) The new New Holland Model SBO baler from Ford New Holland features a 16 x 18 inch bale chamber, 7S-inch pickup (over 80 inches with flare), exclu sive rotary feed system, and a higher slip clutch capacity to transmit more tractor torque. 'The design provides additional baling capacity and more reliabili ty than die well-accepted Model 426 it supersedes,” said Ford New Holland Product Manager Jim Payton. “Fanners who tested the new ‘sBo’ report they can usually bale a gear faster because the baler gets the hay off the field and into the bale so much easier. They like the improved bale shape and appear ance, too,” Payton said. The increased capacity is the result of the rotary feed system and the additional power that can be transmitted to the baler by the 3-joint Category VI PTO with power pivot and the extra large 3-disc clutch. The new clutch transmits 25 percent more torque. This higher torque, coupled with a shorter crank, increases density capability. In MORGANTOWN (Berks Co.) Yields of 198.44 and 177.02 bushels per acre recently gave Paul and Ernest Mast first place in the no-till irrigated and second place in the irrigated divisions of the 1991 National Com Growers Association (NCGA) National Corn Yield Contest in Pennsylvania. The father and son team took the honors with entries of Pioneer hybrids 3241 and 3140. Paul’s first place entry was planted May 1, 1991 and son Ernest’s entry May 4 in 30-inch rows at a plant ing rate of 29,900 seeds per acre. The first place entry was fertilized ness New's 'The improved bale appearance is the result of a combination of design improvements,” Payton said. “A plunger guide rail that grooved the left side of the bale has been eliminated. On the right side, the location of the bale chamber hay dogs and knife has been changed to reduce ‘shin gling.’ Coupled with the superior bale case fill due to the ‘sBo’ rot ary feed system, the new baler consistently turns out square, dense, uniform bales that stack and ship better. This feature is important to commercial hay growers and custom operators.” Hydroformatic bale tension control is standard on the new baler. “Knotters are gear driven and the hard bill hook chrome plating has been increased to further extend reliability. Users can expect to bale thousands of bales without a miss,” Payton said. The “580” bale chamber floor is replaceable. Convenience options include a light kit for night-time baling, hydraulic tongue swing and hydraulic pickup lift. A needle slot baffle kit, bale case extension, and safety tow chain are also available. Masts Excel Corn Yield Contest with approximately 172 pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds of phosphate, and 20 pounds of potash per acre. The second place entry received approximately 196 pounds of nit rogen, 32 pounds of phosphate, and 32 pounds of potash per acre. The field that produced the first place entry had been planted to soybeans in 1990, while Ernest’s second place entry came from a field that had been planted to pota toes a year ago. Both crops were planted with a John Deere 7000 planter. They were harvested October 15, 1991 at 21.9 percent and 23.9 percent moisture levels, respectively.

Massey Ferguson 1100 Series models introduced in 1991 are the MF 1140 (26 PTO hp), the MF 1145 (31 PTO hp), and the MF 1160 (37 PTO hp). Standard features for the MF 1180 and MF 1190 include a 169 cubic inch direct injection 4-cylin der diesel engine and a synchro shuttle transmission that shifts between forward and reverse using a single lever on the left side of the steering column. The shuttle transmission is coupled with a partially synchron ized 16 forward and 16 reverse prcemergcnce at 3 quarts and Gra moxonc preemergence at 1 pint per acre to control weeds in the first-place entry. They used a broadcast application of Pounce to control insects. The second place entry received Extrazine preemergence at 3 quarts and Ban vel postemergence at .33 pints per acre to control weeds. An applica tion of 1.50 pints of Lorsban and an application of Ambush were used to control insects. Both crops were watered with sprinkle irrigation. accompany technical sequences shot at Stanley’s New Britain. Conn., manufacturing facility.
