MANUFACTURED BY HELM WELDING LIMITED LUCKNOW, ONTARIO, CANADA PHONE 519-529-7627 42 THE RURAL VOICE MACHINERY HARVESTER BUILT FOR BI-DIRECTIONAL 3 PH TRACTOR Gehl Company has introduced the CB 1040, a front -mounted harvester for use with bi-directional tractors with a three-point hitch. "The 1040 is an attractive and cost- effective addition to bi-directional trac- tors because it provides farmers with many of the features of a self-propelled forage harvester for a lot less money," says Tcrry LeFever, Gehl's forage har- vesting equipment product manager. With the tractor seat rotated and the forage box trailing behind, the operator is seated directly above the harvesting action. Spout rotation, cap control, forward and reverse selections, and the electric clutch positions are all electrically con- trolled from a box mounted to the cab's steering pedestal. The 1040 performs well in muddy fields because of its light weight and the articulated steering and four-wheel drive of the bi-directional tractor. A three -padded, 36 -inch, 1,000 rpm blower, direct -driven and close -coupled to the cylinder, allows straight -through feed flow from crophead to forage box. The electric clutch accommodates a speed monitor to prevent spout plugging and torque sensors to eliminate down- time from shear -bolt failure. A seven -foot hay pickup and two and three -row cornhead attachments are available to maximize the flexibility of the harvester. A water tank is optional with the hay attachment.
