Woods Introduces MX™ Deck Zero-Turn
For Radius Mow’n Machines
OREGON, 111. Woods
Equipment Company has intro
duced the MX T " deck, a power
ful new deck choice for their
front-mount, zero-turn radius
Mow’n Machines.
Months of research and test
ing have produced an exclusive
V-Baffle design that accelerates
airflow, creating a powerful
vacuum that forces grass to
stand taller. This allows a more
precise, even cut on all types of
grass. Removable internal baf
fles ensure an excellent cut on
northern bluegrass and fescue as
well as the tough southern Bahia
and St. Augustine grasses.

WestfaliaSurge Introduces New Metatron
NAPERVILLE, 111. West
faliaSurge has introduced Meta
tron 21, the next generation of
the popular milk meters and
management systems.
According to the company,
Metatron meters have become
the world’s most widely used
milk meters over the last 20
years. The two new units, Meta
tron 21 Premium and Metatron
21 Select, offer significant ad
vantages over previous designs.
Metatron 21 Premium offers a
fully functional display to aid in
total farm management for all
sized dairies. The large LCD
panel shows critical dairy man
agement data such as cow ID,
milk production data, breeding
records, conductivity, and set
tings for stimulation, pulsation,
claw removal, backflushing, and
sort gate control.
Metatron 21 Select features a
simple LED numeric display of
animal ID and milk volume,
plus alerts for conductivity and
do-not-milk warnings. Metatron
21 Select controls the same func
tions as Metatron 21 Premium.
Producers can use both
models in one parlor. For exam
ple, install Metatron 21 Prem
ium in the first and last stall and
use Metatron 21 Select for all
other stalls. Metatron 21 Prem
ium can be installed anywhere
in the dairy, such as holding
areas, sort gates and free stalls,

tors looking for additional tank
capacity and improved perform
ance in the smaller end of the
market.
“The Apache 500 should be
attractive to farmers and opera
tors looking for more tank ca
pacity to fit their current
operation and to the guy consid
ering a new machine purchase
for the first time,” Jim Bates,
vice president of sales and mar
keting at E.T. said. “We had a
lot of success with the original
model and have had relentless
demand to bring it back from
our dealers and their customers.
What’s more, this model is actu
ally better than the original
Apache 500 because most of the
components on this sprayer are
the same as those used on our
850, 1000, and 1200 Series ma
chines.”
Many consider Apache’s me
chanical drive system to be more
economical than hydrostatic
drive because it’s rugged and
less expensive to maintain. In
addition, the Apache’s simpli
fied system often enables owners
to make any necessary repairs
themselves, thereby getting the
sprayers back in the field and re
ducing downtime.
