WICHITA MACHINES
CLEAN UP QUICKLY
Ground maintenance is made easy
with the W -W Wichita Series machines
which combine the jobs of chipper,
shredder and grinder.
As a chipper, the Wichita can reduce
3" limbs into a pile of evenly sized wood
chips at the rate of 96 bites per second.
The Wichita is built with a heavy
duty, 20" shredder cylinder and 24 re-
versible fixed carbon steel hammers.
The chipper flywheel is 1/2" -thick
structural steel with two heat-treated,
tool -steel blades. The cast iron main-
frame adds to the machine's stability.
Other features include: an 8 hp
Briggs & Stratton (IC engine optional),
centrifugal clutch, four big pneumatic
tires, and an easy -grip "T" handle.
Loose organic matter such as leaves
and brush can be fed through the large
bushel -sized hopper and the rotating
hammers will shred, break, tear, and
grind the matter instantly.

SPLITTER MAKES
LOGGING EASIER
Polyquip's new vertical log splitter
saves its operator time and energy by
eliminating log lifting and back strain.
The cylinder, 4 1/2 inches in diame-
ter, focuses 22 tons of splitting power
vertically onto the log with a cycle time
of only 13 seconds. The maximum
stroke is 24.75 inches.
An "adjustable stuck wood stripper"
strips a log off the wedge should the log
jam. Highway tires allow the machine
to be towed at moderate speeds for short
distances.

CREAM PROTECTS
WORKING HANDS
A 20 -year-old German product, pr88
skin barrier cream, is now available in
Canada.
Pr88 is a combination of glycerine
and beeswax applied before you begin
work. It's non-toxic, non -allergenic,
even safe to ingest. It's also water sol-
uble, and does not wear off, transfer, or
wipe away in the course of work.
It prevents dirt and substances such
as solvents, paints, varnishes, grease,
oil, gasoline, glues, fibreglass, epoxies,
and cement from bonding with the skin.
Only warm or cold water is required
to remove pr88 and all clinging dirt from
the skin, usually in 20 seconds or less.

further information is available exclu-
