47 Farmers Digital Solutions 1-866-668-5565 • www.todaypublicationsfd.net March 2023 Planters Guide Edition ATHENS, TN – IronCraft, LLC (“IronCraft”), formerly branded Titan Implement, introduces the FRF and BRF series offset flail mowers. The FRF is available in working widths of 49” to 64” while the BRF is available in working widths of 63” to 79”. These offset flail mowers can easily mow in ditches, around ponds, along roadsides, fencerows, and other hard to reach areas. The FRF series is designed for tractors ranging in horsepower from 20-50 and include 20 hammers mounted on a 4-1/4” rotor (108mm). This unit has a 540-rpm input speed and is designed for a CAT 1 hitch. With an adjustable in-height rear roller and hydraulic side shift and tilting, it will easily cut grass and shred small branches and vine shoots in vineyards, hazelnut groves, orchards, and in vicinity of hedges and ditches. The robust BRF is designed for tractors from 70-100 HP and includes 28 - 32 fixed flails and 14 – 16 fixed hammers mounted to a 6-inch diameter shaft (160 mm). An internal gearbox with free wheel (540 rpm) with a 1:3 gear ratio produces ample power to shred thick grass and vegetation without clumping, as well as sticks, limbs, and organic debris. An automatic belt tensioner is standard as is a 7.5-inch diameter (193 mm) adjustable, self-cleaning levelling roller. A hydraulic side shift with breakaway valve, and a hydraulic cylinder for head positioning with floating link and safety lock, ensure smooth and safe positioning. Designed for Category 1 or Category 2 three-point hitch, the BRF includes a floating system for the hitch along with a safety lock. Due to their size/weight ratio, IronCraft Offset Flail Mowers pair well with smaller tractors, generating more utility from compact equipment. IronCraft’s new FRF and BRF series Ditch Bank Flail Mowers are ideal for mowing ditch banks, around ponds, in vineyards and orchards, or any areas where the mower needs to be offset from the tractor. These new offset mowers are stocked in IronCraft’s Athens, Tennessee factory and are available through their nationwide dealer network. Each mower is warranted for a full year. IronCraft LLC, was formerly branded as Titan Implement. The company was purchased by LFM Capital which plans major capital expenditures over the next 24-months at the Athens, Tennessee factory as well as other southeastern, TN locations including a paint booth, laser cutting, robotic welding, and more. In addition, other initiatives to support the post-purchase experience include online parts lookup, service manuals, training resources, and adding more product support locations across the country. -###-

While the art of maintaining a tractor can be recreational for some, Bruley was referring to the new way his shop is being heated. Last summer, Bruley installed a hydronic heating system for his new repair shop, replacing a dilapidated building that was on its last legs. “I figured I might as well get with the times,” Bruley said. Bruley isn’t alone. Radiant heating is becoming the standard for new building projects. But what is hydronic heating? Why is it rapidly replacing the more traditional forced-air option? First, let’s go over the basics. Hydronic radiant systems use in-floor tubing (called PEX pipes) through which heated water circulates. A hydronic system can be installed in concrete in a slab-on-grade construction, in a thin layer of concrete over a subfloor, underneath the subfloor between the joists in an existing home with a basement or crawl space, or within a subfloor. Without blasting air through the house, hydronic radiant systems can boast features like being quiet, being easier to zone, and no stirring up of dust or allergens. Hydronic systems can be paired with many types of heat sources, including gas and electric boilers, heat pumps, geothermal systems, and solar heating. Because radiant heat is stored in the structures being heated, it dissipates slowly, meaning it can keep homes comfortable during power failures or when large doors are opened. And with the right controls, accessories, and installation methods, hydronic radiant heating can help achieve energy efficiency goals while providing warmth and comfort to a home’s occupants in cold climates. “That’s the main reason we designed HUG Hydronics. We were hearing from leaders in construction that in-floor heating was one of the most requested features in any new build,” commented Hunt Utilities Group (HUG) President, developer of HUG Hydronics. “However, the act of setting up a traditional hydronic system would often take two days to complete and the craftsmen who could “Sometimes, when I’m down under a machine fixing it, I don’t want to leave,” joked local farmer Ed Bruley of Milaca, MN. HUG HYDRONICS BECOMING AN INDUSTRY DISRUPTOR www.hughydronics.com
March 2023 Planters Guide Edition developer of HUG Hydronics. “However, the act of setting up a traditional hydronic system would often take two days to complete and the craftsmen who could do it are slowly retiring out of the business.” “We decided that luxury was something everybody should have,” said Hunt. To meet the demand, the team at HUG decided that simplicity was a priority. “We made our system so it can use any type of boiler, run in a zero-pressure environment, and, on top of that, made it so easy to install, anyone can put it together in about an hour,” said Hunt. Traditional hydronic system requires many complicated parts, including control & mixing valves, copper piping, pressure tanks, manifolds, bubble removers, and must be run under a pressurized system. Not only do they have all those requirements, they must be installed by a trained professional. The HUG Hydronics system takes all of those barriers and does away with them. “Once the boiler’s been installed, anyone can set up the HUG Hydronics system,” assured Hunt. Instead of the complicated traditional system that has been unchanged for decades, the HUG Hydronics system relies on submersible pumps laid into a tank of water. These pumps are directly connected to the PEX pipes that have been laid in the floor. These pumps circulate the heated fluid through the floor and are very easy to connect. “The second I saw it, I knew it was going to work wonderfully,” said Minnesota contractor Neal Lesmeister, of Weathershield Homes. “I’ve already recommended it to other contractors.” Contractors have picked up on the hydronics trend by incorporating HUG Hydronics into their build schedule. Instead of having to wait on the limited number of hydronics installers, they have been able to install the system within their own team, adding to their profit margins and slimming down their wait times. “While it has benefits for professional users, the real utility of HUG Hydronics shines when a homeowner can simply read the instruction page and have our system installed by themselves,” shared Hunt. “We’re really proud of how effectively simple it is.” HUG Hydronics is available to purchase online at www.hughydronics.com Hunt Utilities Group is an engineering design corporation based in Pine River, MN. HUG is dedicated to promoting resilient living through proven engineering design and research. HUG’s goal is to develop resilient housing and home products that are renewable minded and balance with the environment.

Pay day starts with superior Beefmaster cows. Indeed, the Beefmaster female has stayed true to her original purpose: to help ranchers in tough environments improve performance, survivability and longevity. So, if you are giving up ground in traits that matter, consider Beefmasters. The breed will jump-start your cattle and give your next calf crop a performance boost. Beefmaster is a beef breed developed in America that improves beef quality and production efficiency when crossed with any other cattle breed for commercial beef production. The breed originated in Southern Texas in the late 1800s into the early 1900s. The Lasater family originally developed a large herd of Hereford cattle carefully selected to withstand the heat and insects of the Texas Gulf Coast region, but they were still not perfectly suited to that difficult environment. So Lasater began to experiment with incorporating Bos indicus or Zebu genetics, in the form of Gyr and Guzerat bulls from India and Nelore from Brazil. While the practice of crossbreeding was virtually unheard of at the time, they immediately saw a tremendous jump in productive traits, such as weight gain and reproductive rates. This is genetic advantage known as heterosis or hybrid vigor. By the early 1930s, the ranch also incorporated Milking Shorthorn genetics, to augment milk production and carcass quality. They could immediately see that the three-way hybrid was far superior to the two-way crosses. The final composite ended up at roughly 50% Bos indicus and 50% Bos taurus (25% Hereford and 25% Shorthorn). As Lasater developed the breed, he also formed a unique selection philosophy known today as The Lasater Philosophy. The concept is to only select cattle for economically relevant traits, which he distilled to these Six Essential traits. The Six Essentials are weight, conformation, milk production, fertility, hardiness and disposition. It is the only breed in history to be selected only using pressure for productive traits, as opposed to aesthetics. In 1937, the herd was closed to outside genetics with continued internal development to cull low-performers and upgrade all traits together equally. By 1954 the foundation herd was recognized by USDA under the name of Beefmaster. In 1961, Beefmaster Breeders United (BBU) was founded and is headquartered in Boerne, Texas. Beefmaster ranks fifth in the U.S. in terms of membership and is the largest of the American breeds. The association has over 3,000 members registering around 19,000 calves annually. Beefmasters also enjoy a rapidly growing international footprint, with established associations in nine countries worldwide. The breed has rapidly grown around the world and has become known as the prime maternal cow for serious commercial cattlemen that appreciate their production excellence, particularly in harsh desert or tropical environments.
The breed has excelled across most regions of the United States and several other Latin American regions. With global demand for higher-quality beef growing geometrically, Beefmasters provide the perfect breed to cross on commercial cattle to improve production efficiency and carcass quality, while not sacrificing adaptability. Beefmasters are well known within the international beef industry for their successful adaptation in tropical climates. While this has proven true in Central America and Thailand, this unique breed succeeds in high altitude deserts, as well as in cold and wet environments. The Lasater Foundation herd was moved in 1948 to Matheson, Colorado – where it remains to this day. The Lasater Ranch is located on the Rocky Mountain plains, which is known for its high altitude, snow, extreme cold and meager grassland for foraging. Beefmaster cattle also flourish in the deserts of South Africa, Botswana, and Zambia. They thrive in the mountains of Colombia and Venezuela, as well as Montana, Oregon, New Mexico, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. Commercial cattlemen have noted substantial economic gains from using Beefmasters to provide an average increase of 60 pounds, or more at weaning when compared with other breeds. They excel post-weaning as well, with faster weight gains, excellent feed conversion and carcass yields around 64%. Land grant universities in Texas, Florida, and Oklahoma are conducting research projects to evaluate carcass quality and feed efficiency through utilizing Beefmaster for crossbreeding on popular breeds such as Angus, Charolais, Hereford, Simmental, Limousin and even some dairy breeds. The Noble Research Institute is also working with Beefmaster Breeders United to conduct economic research on grass-fed, and grain fed carcass merit. Their research points to the heterosis gains showing “an extra calf” when weaning weights produce 110-165 extra pounds per calf born. In a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly critical, Beefmasters have repeatedly demonstrated that they are highly efficient converters of both forage and feeds into lean, tender, high-quality beef. A recent study at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) demonstrated Beefmaster’s dominance when compared to 18 of the most widely used beef breeds in the United States. To summarize, the Beefmaster female excels in all maternal traits. They get bred easily, year in and year out. They make raising good calves look easy. And they possess excellent longevity because they do not break down in tough environments. So, if your cow herd has lost its ability to adapt to changing times or challenging environments, maybe it is time to rebuild with proven, Beefmaster females. Nothing beats a Beefmaster.
