No-Till Folding Drills

ATLANTA, Ga. Tye no-till
drills have to be rugged to stand

include:
* Increased breakout force, lift
ing capacity and faster cycle times
with hydraulic cylinders sized to a
tractor’s hydraulic system.
* Faster loader hookups with the
proven MF Quick-Attach system
and patented Quick Couple™ con
trol valve assembly with all four
loader hoses connected to a single
mounting coupler.
■ Single lever control of all
loader functions with the optional
joystick control and valve assemb
ly. Frees tractor remote valves for
other uses.
• Better visibility from lower
profile loader arms, self-leveling
linkages and mounting kits
matched to the lower hood lines of
new MF tractors.
• Automatic leveling on MSL
model loaders maintains even
bucket angles throughout the lift
and lower cycles.
• Faster dump time is provided
by a new regenerative function in
the patented “Quick-Couple”
valve.
• Greater durability and in
creased stability from high-tensile
strength loader booms with wide
spaced boom arms and heavy-duty
cross member to increase load sta
bility and resist twisting from off
center loads.
• Greater strength from tapered
boom construction that concen
trates strength at the loader mast
and from new one-piece main
frame arms.
• Longer-lasting paint finish.
High-tech powder paint process
bakes paint into the metal to resist
chips, wear and fading. MF load
ers retain their bright, shiny, new
look years longer.

Company Hosts Distributor Meeting
CARLISLE (Cumberland Co.) —Cummings & Bricker, Inc. recently hosted a Vicon
North American Distributor meeting in Carlisle.
The three-day event Included both classroom and field demonstrations conducted
by Vicon and Deutz-Fahr factory personnel. Vlcon’s new KMR Center-Pivot Mower
Conditioner and the Rotoflow twin disc fertilizer spreader were Introduced.
A two-day Vicon and Deutz-Fahr Dealer meeting followed, with 35 dealers in at

90-Foot
MOLINE, Dl. John Deere
has announced new 80- and
90-fool booms for its 4700 Self-
Propelled Sprayer. The booms,
available beginning in November
1997, can be ordered factory in
stalled on new sprayers, or they
can be retrofitted on 1997 models
beginning next January.
“The introduction of the 80-
and 90-foot booms is a response to
the most frequent request from our
customers,” said Wes Carney,
product support representative at
the John Deere Des Moines
Works.
The 80- and 90-foot models are
identical except for the length of
the outer folding sections. The
unique, three-dimensional cross
section of both booms provides
structural strength, unlimited noz
zle spacing capability, and en
hanced nozzle protection. Shaped
like the numeral four for added
strength, each boom is designed to
withstand the stress of starts,
stops, and turns, and twisting
loads caused by folding or unfold
ing operations.
The strong center frame permits
folding the boom wings simultan
eously, or one at a time. For work
ing small acreages and in confined
areas, the outer boom sections can
be folded in to provide a 60-foot
spraying width. The outer wings
fold rearward in a 45-dcgrce arc,
which transfers less twisting mo-

tion to the boom than horizontal
folding booms and reaches a much
lower maximum height than
booms that fold vertically.
The booms have three different
types of suspension: vertical, cen
ter-pivot roll, and yaw. The verti
cal suspension features an accu
mulator in the lift-cylinder hy
draulic lines, which cushions the
boom ride vertically to provide a
consistent spray height, while still
protecting the boom. The booms
also incorporate a center-pivot roll
suspension, which gives the boom
the ability to follow the same atti
tude as the machine on sidehills
agriculture,” said participant Mark
Bonson, sales manager of Cham
bersburg Farm Service.
AFS also was one of the first
complete systems with multi-lay
ering capabilities, which allow
growers to evaluate more than one
type of data at the same time.
Growers who invest in AFS
technology are not only invited to
participate in AFS Circle Semin
ars, they also have access to a toll
free help line, a monthly newslet
ter, postings on the Case Web site,
and e-mail.

and terraces. A yaw suspension
ties the left and right wings to
gether, providing more uniform
wingtip speeds in the field and re
ducing structural stress during
turns.
The booms also feature inde
pendent wing-leveling cylinders
that permit each wing to be raised
up to 10 degrees above horizontal.
Optional longer cylinders permit
each wing to be lowered as much
as 5 degrees below horizontal and
raised up to 10 degrees above
horizontal. An optional roll-bias
kit allows the operator to tilt the
entire boom up or down 5 degrees
for effective, level boom opera
tions over terraced ground.
Other features include a 7-foot
long breakaway section on each
outer wing to protect the boom
from damage, and a new transport
cradle that supports the greater
length of a folded 80- or 90-foot
boom. The cradle can be mounted
in a low position to place boom
height level with the cab for ship
ment on trailers, or a high position
to provide easier access into the
cab, while maintaining an overall
folded height of 14 feet
The booms come equipped with
Tee Jet-compatible triple nozzle
bodies spaced 20 inches apart on
1-inch polypropylene pipe. A cus
tom, dealer-installed spacing kit is
available for nozzle spacing of 18,
19, 20, 22. 36, 38. or 40 inches.
Seminar
Lancaster offered sessions for
both new and experienced AFS
users. Topics covered in the new
users’ session included under
standing the information that yield
monitors provide, configuring
yield monitors to achieve harvest
objectives, and generating harvest
summary reports.
The advanced session covered
new hardware and software fea
tures, helped experienced AFS
users master their yield monitors,
and provided tips for managing
multiple years of data.
