Rolling Crop Dividers Raise Up For Transport

Rolling Crop Dividers Raise Up For Transport SPRAYING Accessories 22-4-26 As much as 2 percent of a crop can be lost due to damage caused by high-clearance sprayers. The amount of loss can be reduced by up to 70 percent with these new state-of-the-art crop dividers, according to the manufacturer. The big dividers are made from slippery high-impact plastic and extend about 5 ft. in front of wheels. What makes them different from other crop dividers on the market is that there's a small gauge wheel just behind the tip of each divider. Also, they're fitted with hydraulic lift mechanisms that raise them up 2 to 3 ft. for transport, or when crossing ditches. They also have a solid outside mount that fits to hub for greater stability. When in the down position, the dividers free-float over uneven terrain. Although trampling is not completely eliminated, it guides stalks to either side of the wheels. So far the new dividers are available for Deere, Wilmar, and Rogator high-clearance sprayers. Dividers will be available for other models soon. They sell for right at $2,800 a set (U.S.). Rear sets are also available for right at $450 a set. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, TerraFlex Ag Services, Inc., Box 356, Niverville, Manitoba R0A 1E0 Canada (ph 204 388-6565; fax 204 388-6888).
