The American Society of Agricultural
and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has
announced that Case IH has garnered
three awards for outstanding agricultural
innovation helping farmers gain
productivity.
The award-winning innovations are:
•
Patriot 50
series sprayers (pictured below);
•
WD5
series self-propelled windrowers;
•
Fast Riser 6100
series 3-section front-fold
planters.
The Patriot 50 series sprayers provide exceptional
operator environment, complete vehicle control,
enhanced connectivity, and integrated technology to
provide consistent, accurate applications every season.
These sprayers are agronomically designed to help
operators get into fields sooner with less compaction.
A range of connected solutions provides the next
steps toward remote management and optimization
of machines, data, diagnostics, agronomic inputs, and
precious resources.
The WD5 series of windrowers allow operators to
get to the field faster and muscle through the tough
spots, all without sacrificing harvest quality or
comfort. Transport speeds up to 30 mph (48.3 kph)
and cutting speeds up to 20 mph (32.2 kph), together
with simplified operations and innovations, such as
Field Cruise and the Triple Windrower Attachment,
bring peak operational efficiency. These windrowers
also feature integrated Advanced Farming Systems
(AFS) technology, including the AFS Pro 700 display,
to manage autoguidance, to control key machine
functions and to monitor windrower performance.
Only available in Brazil at this time, the Fast Riser
6100 series 3-section front-fold planters provide
a very high level of productive and agronomic three-
section front-fold planter for growers and contractors
who transport frequently on public roads. One operator
can convert from 13-meter planting width to 3.2-meter
regulatory road transport width from the tractor cab in
one minute versus multiple operators taking numerous
hours for competitive 3-section planters. The area of
principal use is row crop planting of crops, such as
soybeans, corn and/or cotton, in no-till to conventional
tillage systems with 45-, 50-, 76- and/or 90-centimeter
row spacing.
