this? Ow
Sure you do. It looks like the same Lilliston you saw a few
years ago.
But it isn’t
The profile is the same, of course, and so is the way it oper
ates. But, inside, there are changes—refinements that make
this, the finest peanut harvester in the field last year, and the
year before, and the year before that...(Make it fifty) again
the biggest money-maker of them all.
That isn t just talk. Pre-production runs on late-growing
fields confirm the fact that the Lilliston is by far the best
when it comes to picking fields clean. The time-proven, field
tested, tried and true Lilliston guarantees you greater capacity,
higher speed, gentler action, less damage, smoother separation
and heftier profits. And its long productive life assures higher
trade-in value.
