Why you should buy Big Dutchman from Hershey Equipment
NEW CONSTRUCTION OR REMODEL WORK
1. Big Dutchman and Hershey Equipment is #1 in owner
loyalty. More people buy Big Dutchman when they
remodel than any other system.
2. Our Profit-tier system adapts to your old building,
3. Re-use your old comers to save money.
4. Big Dutchman’s superior suspension system keeps the
cages from sagging between stands. Competitive sys
tems sag.
5. Lower maintenance costs. Talk to our customers - Then
talk to theirs!
6. Better Performance! This isn’t just talk. Ask your feed
company to show you records from a Big Dutchman sys
tem to compare to a competitive system.
7. Big Dutchman high lip feed trough is designed to reduce
spillage into the walkways. Look at a competitors walk
way and measure the thicki * <s of wasted feed.
8. Your old hoppers aren’t wore out. Save money and re
use them on your new system.
9. We have our own installation crews to be sure the equip
ment is properly installed; Competition hires outside
crews.

10. Eggs move gently from the birds, to the belts and thru
the collector unit. The eggs are not like balls in a bowl
ing alley as in some competitive systems.
11. Incredible! New left hand drive allows feed chain to
travel up to 120 F.P.M.
12. Your present gearboxes and motors can be re-used to
save money.
13. The Big Dutchman chain feeder gives 2 'A times more
feeder space than the grind auger.
14. It’s a proven fact. Chain feeder systems use less
electricity.
15. Big Dutchman has a stronger cage top and front than
competitive cages.
16. The sliding door on a Big Dutchman system is easy to
open and close and it stays closed.
17. The Big Dutchman collector is the best there is. Don’t
accept an imitation.
18. Our cage design allows eggs to roll front and out of the
cage, not get stepped on and cracked by birds as in com
petitive cages.
19. Big Dutchman systems provides a bigger percentage of
larger eggs for a longer period of time.
