New Crop Blower

A new farm machine that saves the farmer time and labor by automatically blowing forage wherever he wants it has been placed on the market by the New Holland Machine company.

This new crop blower can swallow up to 20 tons of hay per hour and blow it anywhere the farmer wants to store it. Or, if the farmer is filling his silo, the blower handles up to 25 tons of chopped corn an hour.

Weighing 1,350 pounds, the blower has a 12-foot hopper for receiving crops from the field. A patented leveling device keeps the forage flowing evenly into a large throat which feeds a 42-inch flywheel.

Whirling at speeds up to 1,200 r.p.m., this huge "fan" blows crops through an eight-inch pipe wherever the farmer wants to "aim" it.
