New No-Till Options
705,1005 From Great
SALINA, Kan. Great
Plains introduces the
redesigned 705 and 1005 - the
latest additions to Great Plain’s
pioneering line up of no-till
drills.
The 705 and 1005 are end
wheel, no-till drills with working
widths of 7 and 10 feet, respec
tively. The openers on these new
models feature heavy-duty coul
ters, offset double disks, and
depth-controlling press wheels.
T-handles on the press wheels
make seeding-depth adjust
ments easy and precise.
Mower - Conditioners Cut Wide and Fast
NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster
Co.) — New Hollands two new
12-disc Discbine® disc mower
conditioners provide an extra
wide, 15-foot, 7-inch cut for fast
production capacity, even when
mowing tough, heavy crops.
These are the largest disc
mower-conditioners in the New
Holland six-model lineup.
The two new models are
Model 1441, a disc mower-condi
tioner with roll conditioning,
and Model 1442, a disc mower
conditioner with flail condition
ing. Both come standard with a
center-pivot tongue and swivel
hitch for maneuverability in the
field. The swivel hitch is avail
able in two forms: one for 3-point
hook-up and the other for draw
bar mounting. The operator can
cut to the left, right or directly
behind the tractor, and can
make over-square comers, tight
headland turns, or easily
maneuver to cut around obsta
cles.

Case Introduces Metering System
RACINE, Wis. Case
Corporation has introduced the
Case IH Cyclo Air metering sys
tem for use with Case IH
Concord air till drills.
The Cyclo Air metering sys
tem expands the multi-use capa
bility of Concord air till drills by
making them effective for plant
ing row crops as well as for seed
ing cereal grains.
The Case IH Cyclo Air meter
ing system is designed to accu
rately meter and plant coarse
grains such as corn, milo, sun
flowers and soybeans. By adding
the Cyclo Air system to a Case
IH Concord air till drill, growers
can plant both cereal and row
crop grains to give them maxi
mum value from a single invest
ment.
“The capability of this com
bines system enables growers to
reduce their overall capital
investments. It also performs
tillage and seeding in a single
operation and can apply an
entire nutrient program while
seeding, saving time, money and
fuel,” said Bill Weber, associate
marketing manager for Case.

design also provides complete
gear lubrication even while cut

Each gearcase is sealed in its
own oil and connected by inde

shafts. There’s no full-width dri
veshaft that can twist and dam

is hit in the field.
Adjusting these mower-condi

The Cate IH Cyclo Air meter*
ing system expands the multi*
use capacity of the Case IH
Concord air till drill by making it
an effective row crop and cere*
al grain seeding system. This
metering system is available for
use with any of three Case IH
Concord air till drill models,
including the 4010 air till drill
pictured here.
The Cyclo Air metering sys

for accurate spacing and precise
depth control. The opener lifts
the soil out of the seed furrow
and a firming point creates and

Sponsored by 15 southern

assignments between sessions.
The faculty consists of bankers,

constant pressure while allow

New Holland’s Model 1442
disc mower-conditioner with
flail conditioner uses 120 inde
pendent flails to pick the crop off
the cutterbar and rub it together
and against the adjustable con
ditioning hood. This action
removes the crop’s waxy layer
and promotes faster drydown.
New Holland’s unique
tapered flails release crop easily
so it lays on top of the stubble in
a uniform mat for better air cir--
culation and more thorough dry
ing. A two-speed flail rotor
allows for a standard, slower
speed for lighter conditioning of

speed rotor kit for aggressively
conditioning grass crops. An
optional textured hood liner con

type planters, ensures accurate
seed spacing, promotes uniform
seed depth and fast emergence,
provides excellent seed-to-soil
contact and allows the grower to
plant in higher moisture condi
tions.”
With the Cydo Air system,
growers can take advantage of
the versatility of the Case IH
Concord air system. Available in
110-350-bushel capacities, these
air systems house large central
seed/fertilizer compartments to
increase productivity In addi
tion, growers can apply dry, liq
uid or starter fertilizer while
planting or as a separate appli
cation. The air till drill manifold
system also allows growers to
apply fertilizer in the seed row
or in a side band.
The Cycle Air metering sys
tem contains two seed-metering
modules that each serve up to
eight rows at a time. A new
hydraulic Cycle Air meter drive
ensures smoother rotation of the
meter drum. Both of these fea
tures promote more accurate
seed spacing.
