CREEPING RED FESCUE SPREADERSJasper Creeping Red fescue is a strong

spreading fescue variety with dark greencolor. It can withstand stress associatedwith summer heat and humidity, and willprovide excellent adaptation to shaded turfarea, or areas where relatively low main-tenance conditions exist.

This fescue variety is the result of a col-laborative research effort involving Dr. C.Reed Funk of Rutgers University in NewBrunswick, NJ, Dr. Jerry Pepin, director ofresearch at Pickseed West, Inc., in Tangent,OR, and Karl Fiander, manager, and RogerBryant, technician, of Pickseed inEdmonton.

Jasper was selected from superior turfplots at Rutgers. These plots had beenmaintained under the stress of hot, humidNew Jersey summers for a number ofyears.PICK SEEDCircle 156 on Postage Free Card

Cyclone Push Broadcast Spreaders,Models CB3000 and CB4000 combinestate-of-the-art design with durability andease of use. The units feature a rain coverto protect material on misty or rainy days. Toensure consistent material flow, a hopperscreen breaks up clumps of material.

The spreaders are factory-calibrated forprecise material settings. On/off control isconveniently mounted on the handle, anddual ground props provide additional sta-bility.

The hopper, rate gate, and guide on bothunits are made of durable, corrosion-resistant polypropylene. The hopper isinjection-molded, which allows all openingsto be accurately formed at the same time toprecise measurements. Addltional materialis molded into stress areas for addedstrength. To prevent clogging and increasespreader life, the enclosed gears are madeof nylon.

GRASS AND DEBRISCATCHER

Leaves and debris left from the longwinter months can be vacuumed in onepass with the Bac-Vac Hi-Lift grass catcher.It can be mounted on any of five Hustlerout-front rotary mowers. The unit hydrau-lically raises 4112 feet to dump into a pickupbed while the operator remains seated.Because it is mounted behind the driver,mower maneuverability is not com-promised. Its 15-bushel hopper capacityreduces the number of unloading stops. Aneight-bushel Bac-Vac is also available.EXCEL INDUSTRIES, INCCircle 158 on Postage Free Card
