A24-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 18, 1992
STANLEY, N.Y. As far
back as 1933 there has been an
agricultural show sponsored by
the Empire State Potato Club Inc.
That one was hosted by New
York state fanners and was com
mitted to bringing farmers in the
Northeast the newest techniques
and equipment available to
agriculture.
Since then, this annual event
has undergone many changes
including name, location and size
but its sponsor and purpose have
remained constant.
Today Empire Farm days has
grown to be the largest outdoor,
three-day show in the Northeast,
with more than 400 exhibitors.

Empire Farm Days is also very
unique because it has a group of

Shesston
Three Hesston Models...the 7165, 7155 and 7145...
offer increased harvesting capacity with the revolutionary
8-Knife Turbo Vane Cutting Cylinder. This exclusive
Hesston design features eight C-2 knives that produce
high capacity “scissor-action” cutting that eliminates
bunching and carry-over...and gives more output on
less fuel!
The C-2 knives have two
cutting edges that can be
reversed for longer service life.
And the Auto-Sharp Knife
Grinder, standard on the 7155
and 7165, sharpens quickly and
easily...anytime and anywhere!
It is a self-indexing grinder that
sharpens knives with the
cylinder running in normal cutting direction.
Straight-Thru Crop-Flo puts more horsepower and
fuel into cutting and less into crop handling...eliminates
cross augers or spinners that can drain power and waste
fuel. And Hesston’s new auger base header unit allows
you to work more crops on a lower overall investment!
If you want to forage more on less fuel, see your
Hesston dealer today about Models 7145, 7155 and
7165 ...for tractors
from 60 to
250 HP!
