Use Monthly Report For Herd
The 210 or 200 Monthly Report
the dairymen receive monthly
from Raleigh DRPC contains a lot
of information to manage the indi
vidual cow. One feature is a rating
A, B, C, D, or E*for each cow.
This is a quick reference to help
determine which cows should be
culled from the herd. The rating
column on the 210 report is found
with the 305 Day Projection. On
the 200 report it appears between

New Spin On Popular
Spreader
The L2O2OGT fertilizer and lime spreader offers updated technology
and reliability.
THE New Leader L 2020 Genera
tion Two (L2O2OGT) fertilizer
and lime spreader, introduced
by Highway Equipment Co., Cedar
Rapids, IA, is designed to inhibit
corrosion, reduce bridging, and im
prove spread patterns compared to
the previous L 2020 Suggestions
from applicators throughout the
country were used to maintain the
qualities of the L 2020 and create the
L2O2OGT’s updated technology and
reliability This has resulted in a
spinner spreader with advanced belt
tracking, an advanced paint system,
a field-proven Synco-Matic Mark 111
ground speed system, and easy
maintenance and adjustments.
Application rates now can be
changed and monitored right from
the cab with the new generation
Synco-Matic Mark 111 ground spaed
system. The system still has all the ac
curacy and dependability found in all

CALL TODAY FOR MORE INFORM/
of Lactation Curve columns. The
letter ratings categorize cows in
five production groups based on
their current lactations. To deter
mine the letter ratings, the current
305 day, 2X, M.E. records for all
cows are adjusted to a 3.5 percent
fat corrected milk (FCM) basis.
The 3.5 percent FCM record for
each cow is divided by the 3.5 per
cent FCM lactation average for
the herd. The results are designat
ed as follows:
E = Probable Cull Cows - less
than 80 percent of herd average
The rating should not be the on
ly factor used to determine prob
able cull cows but should be used
as a quick check for low produc-
A = Top Cows - more than 110 ers .
EQUIPMENT SPEC SHEET
New Leader ground speed systems.
The 7- and 10-gauge carbon steel
hopper is fully welded, caulked, and
painted with an advanced corrosion
resistant paint system to provide for
longer, more reliable service. The
hopper body is 96 inches wide to in
crease payload and make hopper
loading easier.
Low Maintenance
The stainless steel self-cleaning
"tumkleen" idler pulley ensures belt
tracking during spreading. The
L2O2OGT has a new drive shaft de
sign and no bearing hardware for the
conveyor, which makes it easy to ser
vice the spreader and allows for belt
adjustments within seconds. The
new conveyor system is made to last
because it has a low-maintenance,
corrosion-free 3-ply straight belt con
veyer which rides on a stainless steel
bottom.

♦ Ability to spread up to SO
pounds of fertilizer or 4 tons of
lime per sere;
♦ Complete range of conveyor
needs, including sturdy bar flight
chain and rugged belt-over-chain;
♦ Entire body is constructed of
304 and 409 stainless steel;
♦ Mounts on vehicles with high
way, semi or full flotation tires:
♦ Available in body lengths of
10 to 16 feet.
A 24-mch wide dual spinner pack
age allows for 100% overlap patterns
and up to SS-foot effective swath
width. A stainless steel flow divider
with a new inverted "V" design re
duces product bridging by allowing
product to flow precisely and contin
uously to the spinners. The stainless
steel indicator is easy to read and pro
vides repeatable Indexing of the di
vider settings. The 98% efficient 6-to-l
reduction spur gear drive will last the
life of the spreader.
User-friendly
Dave Engel, general manager, Waitt
Companies, Cicero, IN, lays the
L2O2OGT is user and desler-friendly
because of features like the stainless
steel which lasts longer than mild steel
A uniform body that fits every style
truck replaces the need for a separate
body on each style. Also, 6-inch side
extensions now are standard, not op
tional. In addition, Engel says the ad
justment bearings are mounted to last
longer and allow for easy service K
