COWS: UTILITY & COMMERCIAL 45.00-55.00; CUTTER & Nut Tree Grafting Workshop Set DAUPHIN (Dauphin Co.) Interested in harvesting edible nuts from trees you’ve culti vated on your own property? Plan to attend the annual nut tree grafting workshop from 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 13 at the Dauphin County Agriculture and Natural Resources Center. The center is located two miles north of the borough of Dauphin, on route 225 between Clark’s Creek and Peters Mountain. The workshop, con ducted by Jay Book and Tucker Hill of the Pen nsylvania Nut Growers Association, will give hands-on experience in grafting. Grafted nut trees begin to produce earlier than seedling trees and usually bear superior quality nutmeats. Many species of walnuts and two of hickory are native to Pennsylvania, but few people know that an abundant variety of nut trees are capable of producing in Pennsylvania. There is no charge for the workshop. Scion wood and grafting sup plies for grafting will be available for a small fee, and a few trees will be offered for sale follow ing the demonstration.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A tjj'MMi BALE WRAPPER ffimS Ml COMPETITION fAVMA 1 • Five (5) points of support on turntable: Four heavy duty rollers add stability and support to the perimeter of the turntable in addition to the main central shaft. This allows Tanco wrappers to safely wrap the heaviest silage bales on rough or uneven ground. 2. Single solid belt on turntable: The single belt enables Tanco wrappers to effectively wrap misshapen or soggy bales providing a positive surface for bale rotation. 3. Adjustable extendable axle: On trailed models the extendable axle provides a wide, stable wheel base when loading bales. Eliminates the need for counter weights. 4. Top rollers on turntable; Extra rollers provide security to keep bales in place when wrapping at high RPM’s (25) or on uneven terrain. 5. Unloading ramo on trailed models: The ramp allows bales to be unloaded gently. When a wrapped bale falls hard It can “burp". Once It “burps” the bale does not re-seal. The ramp gives a smooth transition between the ground and turntable. 6> Turntable braking System; When unloading wrapped bales Its important that the turntable doesn't move out of position. A twisted turntable can offload a bale crooked, exposing It to possible tearing of plastic on frame parts. Tanco machines are equipped with a braking system that holds the turntable in place when unloading bales SEEING’S BELIEVING: We welcome pre-season demonstrations to Interested customers Contact you to'arrange a demo and mora Information on Tanco wrapper*.
