Pulling together a range of tech

AgLeader’s AgFiniti and InCommand displays can now talk to each other. The company’s new DisplayCast creates real-time display-to-display communication. The program allows you to share swath coverage maps, guidance lines, field summaries, yield and planting maps.

Plant fields faster with FMC Agricultural Solutions’ 3RIVE3D, a central-fill liquid insecticide platform. Load enough insecticide to plant 500 acres in just 10 minutes. Base list price is $26,000 for a 16-row unit.

The new Sunco Implement Guidance Hitch steers the implement from its front, not its rear, and does not change the pull point of the implement. Base list price is $11,500.

Conservis provides farm management software to track field activities and input costs in real time, manage inventories, and analyze yields.

Improve soil conditions with Gypsyn, a synthetic gypsum product from Headwater Resources. Gypsym will increase water infiltration rates, reduce erosion, increase calcium and sulfur levels, and reduce dissolved phosphorus concentrations.

Making management decisions based on random sample points or inaccurate soil surveys can cause costly mistakes. But Veris Technologies is offering its U3 that maps three critical soil properties in one pass. The U3, which can be pulled by any UTV, measures and maps electric conductivity, organic matter and pH values. The best part: It offers precision with on-the-go sensors. The detailed maps help farmers using VRT.

You can reduce grain header losses by 80% with the new 360 Yield Saver, according to 360 Yield Center. This intermeshing brush assembly for corn heads eliminates gaps common to traditional gathering chains to capture significantly more kernels. The assembly mounts easily on corn heads and provides similar wear life to other gathering chains. When the brushes wear out, you simply replace the blocks.

Composting livestock mortalities is difficult. With the BioMulcher from Dutch Industries, the composting process is shortened substantially, and the leachate present in compost piles is managed within the unit, controlling odor and pests. The BioMulcher crushes bones by mechanically breaking down and aggressively mixing carcasses with available carbon sources like straw or wood chips. In three to four days, the unit renders into a fully stable compost product. The list price is $48,000. Learn more at biomulcher.com.

Adapt-N by Echelon’s Crop Production Services was created through more than 10 years of research, and it has been tested extensively across the Corn Belt. This digital tool supports flat-rate and varied-rate recommendations, and can easily import data from other systems or export recommendations for applications in the field. Planting, crop rotations, soils, irrigation and manure can all be taken into account through the tool’s modeling system, saving you time and money.

Farmer’s Edge offers all kinds of service packages including their new Smart Solution whole-farm management system that includes an on-farm weather station and FarmCommand, a fully integrated platform that gives you the ability to capture and analyze farm data almost anywhere.

Agnition just released its new Commence Seed Treatment for corn. The new seed treatment is formulated with patented Microbial Catalyst technology that stimulates microbial activity, for healthier soil and stronger plants throughout the growing season. Commence promotes faster emergence, improves plant vigor, increases stalk diameter and helps plants overcome stress.

Root balls are a common challenge for no-till producers. The Strobel Row Finisher is a new way to tackle this challenge by removing the root ball mass and providing a smooth seedbed — so every seed can be planted at the proper depth. The unit, which bolts directly onto an Orthman Stalk Puller or Besler Root Slicer, uses an adjustable down-pressure and smooth-riding basket to adjust to the soil and effectively mulch and stalk debris.

Davis Instruments is not new; the company has 50 years of experience in providing equipment that collects and monitors weather information for agriculture and other industries. Its state-of-the-art systems transfer this information wirelessly so the user can get information in real time.

Say goodbye to excessive wear and extra play in the hitch on heavy-duty implements. Walk around a farm show and you will find ball bearings inside round hitch openings on an increasing number of larger implements. The Excelerator 8005 series from Kuhn Krause utilizes this design. It’s called the Power Pull hitch on the Kuhn Krause implement. Spokespeople say they’re putting it on more large implements because it reduces wear. You can find an original component ball-bearing-style hitch by Googling ‘Bull Pull.’
