The Elston Manufacturing Gopher Getter GA-800 boasts a sturdier heavy-duty frame, featuring a hardened plastic bait box, a 22" spring-loaded coulter, and an adjustable tunnel depth. This innovative device works by constructing an artificial tunnel, into which the poison is dispensed. Gophers then encounter the bait within the tunnel, succumbing underground, beyond the reach of other animals. The tunnel depth can be easily tailored to match the gophers' digging depth in your area, ensuring optimal efficacy. Elston Gopher Getter bait applicators offer a safe, economical, and swift solution for controlling gopher populations. These devices expedite the treatment process compared to manual or alternative methods. Elston products dispense bait in precise quantities, ensuring effective elimination without unnecessary waste. The GA-800 efficiently applies approximately two pounds per acre of bait, with burrows spaced 20 feet apart across an average field. Optimal application occurs when gophers are active, particularly during periods of limited food availability, such as spring and fall. Summer applications may yield reduced control results. With a 22" coulter and weighing 705 lbs, the GA-800 is compatible with Category II, III, and IIIN Standard and Quick Hitch setups, ensuring versatility across various equipment configurations.

The MULTIVATOR is a cutting-edge rotary tillage apparatus engineered for the meticulous inter-row cultivation of vegetable, nursery, fruit, and field crops. It is affixed to the three-point hitch of a tractor and energized by the tractor's PTO, transferring power to a carefully selected array of rotary tiller heads, each equipped with blades tailored to cultivate the soil between rows of growing crops. Its operation effectively suppresses weed growth and transforms compacted or crusted soils into an optimal tilth. Utilizing the MULTIVATOR provides precise control over the vital space between plant rows, reducing or eliminating the need for herbicides and fostering soil conditions conducive to moisture absorption and retention. The machine's versatility allows it to be deployed at critical stages of plant development across various crops with differing row centers. Additionally, it accommodates the reduction of inter-row spaces as plants mature and expand into the row. The MULTIVATOR is available in three primary models to accommodate different tractors, ground conditions, and applications of varying sizes. The accompanying table outlines the general specifications for each of these models.
