Hayland "Float" Flattens Fields

Hayland "Float" Flattens Fields HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Miscellaneous 30-1-26 The 350 Hayland Float will rid your land of mole hills, humps, and hollows, according to Westward Products Ltd. in Red Deer, Alta. The implement was originally marketed as a rental unit to fertilizer dealers who were using it to apply fertilizer while also leveling out the land (a tank was added in front, and dribble tubes in the back). "It became apparent there was a market for hay producers, so we added it to our product line," says Len Schultz, company representative. Now the unit is used to level pastures, hay meadows, and other areas, and provides an economical way to prevent expensive repairs to haybines, discbines, balers and forage harvesters. It also helps to reduce livestock injuries. The unit is made of tube steel. The tow hitch is self-leveling and hydraulically adjustable to raise or lower the amount of pressure applied to the ground, depending on conditions. The rear tubes on the wings and frame are loaded with steel punchings for added weight. The 3,800-lb. rig incorporates two 1100 by 20 used military tires, and its wings lift hydraulically for transport. The working width is 35 feet. The 350 Hayland Float sells for $12,625 (Can.). Westward Products has a number of U.S. dealers in addition to its Canadian distribution network.
