Gehl Introduces Forage Harvesters WEST BEND. Wis. Gehl celebrates 50 years of forage har vester leadership with the intro duction of the new “65 Series” forage harvesters. “In 1943, Gehl became the first manufacturer to mass produce a pull-type forage harvester,” said Terry LcFever, forage equipment product manager. “And today we’re solidifying our leadership position with a refined line of pro ducts to match any forage harvest ing need.” The Model 1265 is designed for tractors up to 300 PTO horsepow er, features a massive 25'/j -inch cutlerhe’ad.

Available in truck-mounted, pull-type, and three-point hitch models, the unit can spread lime, gypsum, fowl manure, and most types of fertilizers at nearly any rate. The Tran Spread can cover 50 to 100 percent more acres per day than conventional spreaders, adding significantly to the appli cator’s bottom line. All of the truck-mounted spreaders feature a 33-inch wide belt with cleats that run over completely sealed PVC troughing rollers with stainless steel shafts. This allows the unit to operate at rates as low as 40 pounds of fertil izer per acre and as high as four tons of lime per acre. Unlike a bar chain spreader, the wide belt allows fertilizer to fall consistent ly onto the spinners. The ComputerSpread’s most remarkable feature is its ability to control the spread width by regu lating the spinner speed. You no longer have to waste time adjust ing spinner blades or trays. Simply increase or decrease your spread pattern by increasing or decreas ing the spinner speed.

The new device moves seed at five to 12 bushels per minute so a drill can be filled in as little as five minutes. “The Vittetoe Drill Conveyor features a rubber-belted conveyor with rubber paddles that gently move the bulk seed from a wagon or container into the grain drill,” said David Vittetoe, president Constructed of galvanized steel, the Vittetoe Drill Conveyor weighs approximately SOO pound s. To minimize fill time, the con veyor conveniently mounts on the rear of the drill and securely latch es into place to ride on the drill during drilling operations. The extra-heavy mounting and latch ing system is made to withstand higher speeds, even under the roughest field conditions. At fill time, the drill is posi tioned near the wagon or bulk seed container. The conveyor is unlatched and rolls off the left side Chris Renner sylvania State University.
