NEW’N’NOTED Nets enhance bale quality Pump design leaps ahead Vermeer Net and Rebel Net Vermeer has introduced the newest partner in its forage product line with Vermeer brand netwrap—Vermeer Net, available for four and fivefoot balers, and Rebel net, designed for Vermeer Rebel Series Balers. Featuring superior net strength for ultimate bale protection, Vermeer netwrap is produced in a unique green, black and white colour scheme for easy identification. “In addition to enhancing the bale quality, Vermeer Net and Rebel Net offer convenient features to help producers improve efficiency,” says Russell Beyer, Vermeer project lead. “Handgrips on the Vermeer Net packaging provide for easier handling, and the smaller roll length and weight of the Rebel Net makes loading and unloading easier.” Vermeer Net is offered in a variety of lengths and is suitable for most round balers in today’s marketplace.

Pumpeller Hybrid Lagoon Pump J amesway Farm Equipment has introduced the Pumpeller, a radical new design of lagoon pump. The patented hybrid turbine takes much less time and fuel to agitate the toughest lagoons without the need for a gearbox. “The output of the hybrid turbine does two jobs,” explains Jamesway’s sales manager, Ralph Fanning. “First, the turbine core pushes manure into the impeller blades, in effect supercharging the pump capacity, which is very noticeable in thicker material. “Second, the rest of the turbine output is vented right through the pump housing to move processed manure away from the pump. The huge throughput of the turbine produces incredible intake suction that pulls solids into the cutter knives, chopping up the largest rafts of solids in mere seconds. It’s a lot like passing through a jet engine .... not much survives the trip.” The Pumpeller Hybrid Lagoon Pump uses the proven Ultra-Pump chassis, with trailer models up to 62 feet and three-point-hitch-mount models up to 25 feet. Jamesway offers an extensive line of manure handling equipment, manure systems and feeding systems used in more than 30 countries throughout North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
