30 Foot Long Haymobile Attracts Attention In Pomona
Lee Figgins hosts a Dew Eze self propelled haymobile with a 30 foot bed and nine foot width. It uses a center chain to move bales and a loader that doubles as an elevator for unloading. The 8,600 pound machine runs 10 to 12 mph in fields and 45 mph on roads. Figgins hopes to haul 180,000 to 200,000 bales this year, up from 140,000 last year. It was built by Harper manufacturer Dewey Hosttletter, who began mass production after patenting the machine in 1969. Priced at 9,500 dollars.
