The operation chippershreddermulcher of the feed system is controlled by the patented Vermeer AutoFeed II system, which is designed to monitor and regulate feed rates automatically. The system monitors engine rpm chippershreddermulcher and regulates the amount of hydraulic oil flow to the feed roller motor, based on the engine speed. "It''s an engine-load sensing device," said Brent Bartels, project engineer chippershreddermulcher at Vermeer. "AS wood is fed into the cutting mechanism, that slows the cutter disc down, which loads the engine down so the engine speed is slowing down. If that were to continue, the engine would eventually stall.

All 600 Series Flex Platforms feature the new HydraFlex float system. This efficient, hydraulic float system allows the cutterbar to maintain a consistent cutting height regardless of ground conditions. This facilitates higher ground speeds compared with conventional, chippershreddermulcher mechanical float systems.New segmented skid shoes are now available on the flex platforms. They allow greater flexibility of the cutterbar to reduce field losses in down or tangled crops, and help maintain ground contact better than any other flex platform in the industry.

IT''S NOT LIKE THE L.A. CAR scene, where you are what you drive," says Sherri Walker, editor and publisher of The Catalina Islander. A quiet woman with short blond hair, she sits on a bench by the sand, steps from her office door. She looks up Avalon''s main street at the line of nearly identical white golf carts parallel-parked nose-to-tail along the curb. "No one points and says, `Wow, look at that golf cart.''"In 1979, suffering from choking traffic congestion and a critical shortage of parking, this mile-and-a-half-square town passed City Ordinance No. chippershreddermulcher 656, mandating negative population chippershreddermulcher growth for cars; two must leave Catalina Island before another is allowed on. "The last person to get a new auto permit signed up 13 years earlier," says Bill Loomis, the harried local vehicle clerk, "and the wait is getting longer." Only 718 cars remain, but the ordinance does permit one "autoette," in official parlance, per dwelling unit, so Avalon has slowly become a city of golf carts. About 1,300 populate the town.
