bu y er���s gu ide : pla n t i ng equ ipm en t n Starco Manufacturing, Inc. 800-859-0399 www.miltonplanters.com Milton Precision Seed Planters, manufactured by Starco Manufacturing, have been providing the most accurate method of planting for more than 60 years. Our sugarbeet planters are second-to-none in the industry. Accuracy, versatility and dependability make Milton Planters the best mechanical seed planter on the market today. The Milton Precision Planter is capable of consistently producing higher yielding crops. Precision seed placement allows for optimal plant growth, while eliminating thinning and reducing seed and fuel costs. The Milton Precision Planter will plant down to 11-inch rows on a single toolbar. Milton Precision Planters can seed virtually all small-seeded crops���including flowers, herbs, onions, sugarbeets and many other vegetables���thanks to interchangeable seed and pack wheels. It���s especially popular with onion and sugarbeet growers in the Western U.S. n Landoll Corporation 785-738-6613 www.landoll.com If there is one key feature on the redesigned 2400 Series Weatherproofer I tillage tools from Landoll Corporation, it is simplicity. Available in six- through 13-shank models for a total of five sizes, the WP I is easy to set and levels perfectly. The entire machine is set with the convenience of a single front-mounted, depthcontrol crank. This means producers can pull into the field and, with one control, set the machine disc and deep till the soil in one pass, uniformly missing residue, while penetrating the compaction zone for enhanced water intake and root growth. ���Unlike some manufacturers that promote ���adjustable angle��� disc gangs, Landoll elected to go with gangs that are fixed on a field-proven 15-degree angle,��� said Jamie Meier, Landoll ag sales manager. ���The ��-inch thick, 24- or 26-inch discs are also set on a narrow 10.5inch spacing so they quickly resize and mix the toughest residue. Overall the machine will require much less maintenance, due to fewer moving parts, and provide years of trouble-free service.��� In addition, Meier said Landoll engineers chose to position auto-reset shanks on 24-inch centers, rather than the traditional 30-inch spacing. This provides better soil fraction and allows the operator to run at shallower depths and higher spends, saving both fuel and labor, while leaving an extremely level field. The parabolic shanks feature a maximum 3,500pound point load with a 16-inch trip height. ��� www.SugarProducer.com��� 31
