To receive a Rubbermaid catalogue or more information, write or call Canada Farm Distributors, Box 548, .Tavistock, Ontario, NOB 2R0, 655-2584.0 P C New John Deere combine John Deere has introduced a new combine, the model 4425. The 4425 has more productivity and convenience features than any other combine in its class. A replace- ment for the popular 4420, it has such Titan II features as a feeder -house reverser and a Posi-TorgTM cylinder drive as standard equipment. Dial-A- MaticT" header height control and a Harves-Trak monitor are available as optional equipment. The same spring-loaded locking pins used on Titan II combines per- mits Quik-Tatch header hook-up on all 200 series platforms up to 18 feet wide and on all four -row narrow and wide corn heads and 50 series row - crop heads. A two -speed feeder house drive sprocket enables the feeder con- veyor system to be readily adapted to harvesting corn, soybeans, or small grain. Threshing and separating capacity is increased on the 4425 with a large 24 -inch diameter and 41 -inch wide threshing cylinder and 23.2 -inch long concave. The 4425 has the largest cleaning area of any combine in its class, 5,271 square inches. The 4425 is powered by a 117 hp. 359 cubic inch engine, the same John Deere diesel engine which is used on the company's 2950 tractor, to pro- vide plenty of power under power - intensive field and crop conditions. The 4425 combines will be available from John Deere dealers for the 1986 harvest season. ❑
