Farmers Reminded To Stay Safe On The Farm

Farmers Reminded To Stay Safe On The Farm
 
With harvest back underway in Saskatchewan, farmers are again being reminded to stay safe on the farm, especially around overhead power lines.
 
SaskPower has already reported a number of incidents this year where farm equipment has come into contact with overhead power lines, and all of those incidents were preventable according to SaskPower. 
 
Laura McKnight who is from SaskPower explains what you can do to prevent incidents from happening.
 
"There are a few simple tips that can prevent an incident from occurring, such as being aware of your surroundings," McKnight said. "So prior to work really go out there become aware of the overhead line on your property, and identify any hazards that you need to be aware of."

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
