Northrup King Co. will expand availability of its new Load & Go™ Seed Handling System to com and soybean growers through out the U.S. in 1995. The move follows a successful pilot program conducted with growers in the Midwest in 1994. The Load & Go system fea tures specially-engineered durable plastic boxes which make filling planter boxes easier and quicker, allowing coverage of more acres per day. “This system enables growers to go straight from the dealer to the field, without taking the inter mediate step of loading a poly bag into a gravity wagon,” said Jack Bemens, Northrup King com prod- Massey Ferguson Introduces Stripper Header ATLANTA, Ga. The new Massey Ferguson* 6000 Series Stripper Header is a unique com bine header that strips the grain and heads from small grain plants and leaves the stalk standing in the field. This revolutionary header tech nology harvests more acres per hour, reduces grain losses, per forms well in laid crops and wet conditions, and lets the farmer start harvesting as soon as the heads are dry—often as much as a week before the rest of the plant is ready for combining. The MF® 6000 Series Harvest Hustler stripper header is ideal for cereal grains such as rice, wheat, oats, barley, rye and flax, and grass seeds and legume crops. The MP Harvest Hustler is not limit ed to Massey Ferguson combines. A complete line pf interchange able mounting kits lets Massey dealers fit the 6000 Series stripper header to most popular combine makes and models, including both rotary and conventional com bines.

Designed as a primary tillage tool, the 6800 features a caddy cart design with underslung disk gangs supported by the three point hitch, and a rearmounted subsoil ripper. This system makes possible independent operation and adjustment of each tool to match field conditions and residue management plans. The new' ripper is a stream lined, true-V design.

In addi tion, farmers can start harvesting earlier in the season and begin combining earlier in the morning and continue later into the night as straw laden with dew, weeds and other material is left standing in the field.

The ripper currently is available in 10-foot standard ahd 10- and 14-foot heavy-duty mod els. An 18-foot heavy-duty large frame model is scheduled for introduction next year. The disk gangs can be set at 14, 17 or 20 degrees so a farmer can control how much residue he wants to work into the soil. The depth of the disk gangs is hydraulically controlled via the tractor's three-point hitch. uct manager. “No one has ever packaged seed like this before.” The idea for Load & Go origi nated with five lowa farmer-deal ers, their Northrop King district manager Lloyd Bigler (now retired) and Jim Berquam, Northrop King plant manager at Waterloo, lowa. “We were look ing for a safer, easier way to han dle large qoantities of seed to replace the poly bags,” Bigler said The groop shared their ideas with Northrop King Corn Prodoct Manager Jack Bernens, who worked with container manofac torers to transform the concept into bloeprints and a prototype.
