Crop treatment requires farmers to look at a range of different informa-tion in order to decide on a specific treatment. The growing complexity of the information and statutory re-quirements they have to consider can lead to mis-application and the risk of spraying non-target areas.The combination of Connected Crop Protection and Chemical Application Manager is an intuitive system that helps users make a sound decision for a targeted, well-timed, and precise application. This integrated system relies on a range of key technolo-gies. It offers recommendations and operator assistance for filling and spraying, takes automatically buffer zones into account and comes with full documentation. So the system also integrates the Chemical Applica-tion Manager, a joint development by BASF and John Deere in conjunction with public-sector partners ISIP, ZEPP, JKI and KTBL. The data is transmitted in the univer-sal ISO-XML format, an open format that allows the integration of further applications in the Manager. This industry standard will offer the pos-sibility of integrating solutions from other partners and decision-making assistance systems or the use of third-party spraying technology in the future. For the first time, this holistic

system integrates all data, knowledge and tools that users need to come up with a treatment decision that imple-ments application at variable rates and complies with national laws.The user controls the cycle, plans and edits precision farming applications, documents the individual jobs, and provides his partners with access to the consultation feature. So there is nothing stopping this defined, legally compliant application with non-con-tact operation through voice or

gesture control and integral TankFill-Calculator from being implemented. For added safety, the system scans product codes for further automation of the documentation. In summary, this is the first system to provide farmers with a fast, efficient and integral method of crop treat-ment: from problem identification to treatment recommendation, an appli-cation that complies with the law and provides prompt and time-efficient documentation.

Maintaining the nutrient balance of the field from harvest to harvest currently involves extensive calculation and planning efforts for the farmer.Connected Nutrient Management is a user-friendly, optimised nutrient management system enabling the demand-oriented, precise application

of organic and chemical N and P fertilisers. The system enables planning and optimising with a holistic, overall observation of the harvest history and includes technologies for highly precise fertiliser application. The data, know-ledge and key technologies owned by innovation partners John Deere,

FarmFacts, Vista, Rauch and Sulky have been tied up in a smart, complete bun-dle to offer the user an agronomically optimised, site-specific nutrient appli-cation system complying with fertiliser application regulations. This ensures higher precision when planning and applying organic or artificial fertil-isers. At the same time, the system is a cost-cutter, optimising yields in terms of quality and quantity while comply-ing with the strict fertiliser regulations and offering site-specific documen-tation. For the first time ever, farmers will be able to precisely determine, apply and document nutrient demands (nitrogen, phosphate etc.) for specific sub-areas, regardless of the type of organic or artificial fertiliser used. Since nutrient distribution is optimised according to sub-area demands and vegetation times, it provides a higher level of nutrient efficiency and also optimises nutrient balances. There has never before been a similar integrated solution offering maximum customer value while proactively considering the prevailing environmental and legisla-tive constraints.

Fendt VarioGrip ProJoint submission:

AGCO GmbH – Fendt Marktoberdorf, Germany, hall 20, stand B08f

MITAS a. s., Prague, Czech Republic, hall 3, stand E29 Tractors, Transport

Tyre pressure control systems offer many uncontested advantages, but also one drawback: they are very slow in inflating the tyres for road travel. Besides, they require the engine to be revving at high speeds to provide the necessary drive power for the com-pressor while the tractor is stationary.The Fendt “VarioGrip Pro” uses an additional high-pressure tyre inside a newly developed tyre. This internal tyre serves as an accumulator which allows the inflation pressure to be altered very quickly. The air is pumped into the internal tyre through a simple rotary union which also ensures it cannot escape. The valves involved and the pressure sensors are pow-ered through inductive transmission inside the axle. The same applies to the control signals. Dispensing with extra compressors, pressure tanks and control lines, this technology is able to increase the inflation pressure from 0.8 bar to 1.8 within 30 seconds by exchanging the pressure directly and without having recourse to engine speed. This quick tyre pressure control

system reduces the time spent in road travel and allows field work at low and soil-friendly pressures.

John Deere ProCutJohn Deere GmbH & Co. KGMannheim, Germany, hall 13, stand E30 Forage Harvesting

Especially in the heat of harvest, it is essential to keep the knives on the forager chopping drum sharp and to adjust the counterblade as appropri-ate. John Deere’s “ProCut” controls the gap between the knives and the counter-blade. The system does not measure the gap with the help of vibration sen-sors but with an inductive method and two special sensors. In addition, it is also possible to measure automatically the sharpness of all knives. The system offers great benefits for the customer, because it always indicates the best time to adjust the counterblade and sharpen the knives and also recom-mends the number of grinds to be applied. With all elements always in their best condition, fuel consumption drops and so do the costs for knives, counterblade and grinder.

Typically, PTO speed is controlled by engine speed, since the power take-off shaft is connected to the engine’s crankshaft.In very many appli-cations, however, the engine could be operated at lower speeds and still maintain the opti-mum PTO speed for the implement. This is what the

new infinitely variable front PTO does. It maintains its speed irrespective of the current engine speed and within a specific engine speed range, for example it is possible to operate the PTO at 1,000 rpm while the engine is revving at a speed between 1,400 rpm and 2,100 rpm. The PTO speed itself can be selected steplessly between two critical limits. A fuel-saving and work-quality boosting system.

If fitted with dual wheels, a modern tractor will easily exceed the permit-ted overall width for travel on public roads.The new hydraulic folding system is the first system that allows quick attachment and removal of rear dual wheels. During road travel, the dual wheels remain on the tractor and are folded up and behind the tractor cab. When the machine arrives in the field, the operator folds down the wheels without having to leave the cab. The duals are then attached to the rear wheels via a special coupling system and the tractor is quickly ready for work.

Silver Medals for Innovations will be awarded for products which have been developed further in such a way that an essential improvement of the functions or the process may be expected.

Four-wheel drive systems that are currently on the market disengage relative to speed and steering angle to avoid torsional impact on the drive-line. However, in many situations, the operator needs to select/deselect the four-wheel drive system manually.The intelligent four-wheel drive management system from John Deere automatically engages/disengages the four-wheel drive irrespective of the current load, offering a technology

that improves the overall efficiency of the tractor. The system automatically engages the four-wheel drive relative to the wheel slip on the rear axle and disengages it automatically as soon as the front axle is no longer contributing significantly to the overall drawbar work after its load has changed or because the wheels are now running on hard or tarmac ground. As a result, torsional effects cannot develop in the driveline. The necessary control

system relies on sensors that measure the torque inside the four-wheel drive clutch. The system is able to detect the tractor’s current wheel slip by using either the radar signal, GPRS data or the differential speed of the front and rear axles, depending on the tractor’s specification. The system marks a ma-jor improvement over those systems currently available on the market and helps reduce material wear and oper-ator fatigue.

Slurry tankers are usually pulled by high-capacity tractors which provide

the required drawbar power to supply a self-propelled slurry spreader or

a high-capacity combination in the field.Ultra-Light UL-T18 is a payload-opti-mised and double-axle slurry tanker that has been developed to a new concept. It has a self-supporting tank that is made from glass fibre reinforced plastics (GRP) and which mounts directly on the two pneumat-ic suspension axles. No chassis is required. The plastic tank offers great resistance to slurry and biogas sub-strate and requires no further interior coating. All this combines to reduce the machine’s dead weight by 40 % compared with the dead weight of a comparable steel tank and yet offers a 19 % higher payload. Running on two axles and turntable steered, the machine requires a lower tractor input and offers quick attachment and removal.

Many operators are not aware that tyre pressure is just one parameter that affects drawbar power. Yet, this is also dependent on weights fitted and the ground speed. As a result, oper-ators often use only the tyre pressure control system to alter the inflation pressure from field to road application and vice versa.This is where Fendt Grip Assistant is a great help. The system prompts the operator with the optimum ground speed and the proper tyre pressure for a given weight fitted or vice versa; it indicates the optimum ballast weight and inflation pressure for a specific ground speed. The operator merely

selects the type of attachment, the type of implement at-tached and the char-acter of the soil on the Vario terminal. Then the tyre pres-sure control system will inflate the tyres automatically to the proper field or road pressure. The optimum pres-sures are then auto-matically set for best soil protection and efficient traction.

Using a head-land manage-ment system or programming headland turn sequences re-quires navigation of the software menu, which is often a challenge for uninitiated operators.The “iTEC AutoLearn” system from

John Deere supports operators, because it detects similar headland sequences automatically. After it detects that the last sequence was re-peated three times, it suggests that the sequence should be automated. The operator can accept the suggestion by pressing a button to copy it to the system settings. Such an auto-recorded sequence can also be edited at a later time. The new system promotes the overall acceptance of fatigue-reducing and efficiency-boosting headland manage-ment systems.

Fitting/removing rear wheel weights or pumping water into the tyres to adapt the tractor’s weight to current conditions are time-consuming activ-ities and therefore not popular among farmers and contractors. The drawback of these techniques is that the tractor is over-ballasted dur-ing many other applications and not only for those very few heavy-duty applications. In addition, fuel con-sumption is excessive. EZ Ballast is an underbelly design which mounts the ballast hydraulically. The time-saving system distributes the weight evenly on the axles and is a more productive

way of ballasting a tractor.

Unlike with mounted reversible ploughs, it is not possible to alter the line of draft between a semi-mounted reversible plough and a tractor. And yet, if the line of draft is set incorrectly, torque will develop around the trac-tor’s vertical axis near the middle of the rear axle – with the result that the front axle tends to move sideways, fuel consumption increases and the first furrow width becomes too narrow.This new development provides a way to adjust the point of draft hydraulical-ly, thereby shifting the point of draft towards the middle of the tractor’s rear axle. This allows the operator

to change the landside pressure and tractor side thrust and thus optimise fuel economy. With all lateral drag

eliminated, there is no need for coun-tersteering – a substantial relief for operators.

The (depth) settings of the individual tools on tillage equipment are usually

adjusted hydraulically via the tractor’s spool valves or in a few rare cases

electrically as well. The John Deere Tru-Set™ technology is the first implement control system that controls and calibrates all im-plement tools from an ISOBUS control unit in the tractor cab.Another innovation is the auto-compensa-tion function for the various tools sections on a cultivator. In the past, operators had to

adjust each section separately. Now the settings for all sections (cultivating tines, press, levelling tines) are adjust-ed automatically when the setting for one section (the discs) is changed. The system allows operators to alter the depth on the move and hence respond to varying conditions. It relieves op-erator stress and fatigue and helps to avoid mis-settings. John Deere plans to integrate TruSet™ in its Farmsight Sys-tem which links to the open Precision Farming Portal MyJohnDeere.com for localised implement control.

Väderstad is introducing a method of adjusting machine settings in real time and relative to the current soil conditions. It relies on a number of sensors and a central processing unit which receives and processes the sensor sig-nals into automatic machine setting signals: by measuring a specific angle of the machine’s frame, the system adjusts the tools section automati-cally in parallel to the ground. The Väderstad gyro sensor detects rotation and any change in direction in real

time. Furthermore, the CrossBoard is adjusted automati-cally with the help of pressure. This way, the board is always pushing the same amount of soil, optimising the levelling work and fuel consump-tion.

Sowing, Planting

Sowing, Planting

Today’s seed drills require prelim-inary adjustments by means of a manual calibration routine. Potential errors may be caused by seed losses during calibration, while handling the calibration pan or during manual weighing.The automatic seed-type calibration fully adjusts the metering units by

calibrating the seed amount and bypass-weighing the seed. All the operator needs to do is enter the re-quired seed rate and seed population parameters, the 1000-kernel weight and the maximum ground speed, and the calibration process may begin. Once the automatic seeder calibration has started, the seed coming from all

meters is delivered not to the openers but instead to a load cell via a bypass. After weighing the seed and trans-mitting the weight value, the system simply discharges the seed back into the hopper. Now the operator needs to confirm the weighing value and the possible working speed. There is no need for direct access to the metering unit via a calibration pan. The ma-chine is now ready for seeding. Since the seed rate calibration may be performed without the operator dismounting the tractor, occasional quick checks will ensure reliability throughout the sowing period. The seed amount required for calibration is no longer limited by the size of the calibration pan, and exposure to seed dressing is kept to a minimum. On top of that, the operator may use the time freed up to perform other activities such as preparing the implement.

In precision planting, high speeds of up to 16 km/h require coordination of various parameters to ensure a high level of plant distribution and seed placement quality in varying condi-tions.This quality assurance system pro-viding in-field automation for John Deere ExactEmerge is a complex automation system for high-speed precision planting offering a host of different monitoring, control and documentation features. At the same time, the vacuum automation system guarantees a high level of seed-sin-gling quality which in turn results in a more precise seed placement. Active Downforce Control is a pneumatic system which activates downforce pressure as needed. Curve Com-pensation controls the row units to achieve different seed frequencies when cornering to ensure identical seed spacings in all rows. The seed disc rotational speed equals the implement travel speed, ensuring a high level of seed spacing accuracy. The fast-response section control system enables precise sowing even in confined sections of the field. The

Auto-Load function for iTEC Pro in-tegrates implement-specific data and tractor-specific sequences into the headland management and steering systems via the ISOBUS. In addition, the GoPlant App and the SeedStar Mobile software offer comprehensive possibilities for easy attachment,

configuration and operation of the implement and the tractor or for pre-cision farming applications. With this system the operator has room to fully focus on monitoring the sowing process. Of course, the system also integrates the recording of process data for documentation.

Traditional ultrasonic sensor con-trolled boom control systems often suffer from limited accuracy, espe-cially in patchy crops, tramlines or game grazed patches. In these situations, the control system would adjust the boom unnec-essarily.This is different with the laser scanner based and look-ahead detector which Horsch devel-oped to support boom control. The system comprises a laser scanner attached to the cab roof which scans the immediate surroundings ahead and to the side of the machine, covering the complete work width. The data is collected and used to produce a surface model. The system is the first to adjust the boom up front in such a way that it will only deviate minimally from the default setting. During operation, the surface model is used to

control the height and position of the boom. This way, it is possible to reli-ably detect obstacles in the field. This

system will then decide whether it is only necessary to raise the boom or whether the brake should be applied.

In the past, many direct filling systems suffered from long response times and the ability to only ac-

cept liquid chemicals, along with inadequate cleaning of the spray lines, which is necessary to pre-

vent misapplications. DIS cleans the entire sprayer and collects the cleaning liquid in a separate tank,

from where the liquid is later applied at diluted rates in line with good practice. The extra tank is implemented by splitting the main tank into five compartments which can take three different chemicals. The fully automatic system is operated from a sep-arate control unit. The integrated Dammann Fluidsystem reduces re-sponse times to a mini-mum while maintaining the required +/-5 % accuracy tolerance.The system eliminates the intolerable delay that was typical for earlier systems and that presented a major problem for precision applications.

Plant Protection

Fertilising

Closed metering and draining systems on sprayers will be in the focus of future European legislation as the chemicals approval authorities issue new requirements for operator safety. easyFlow QF is a universal and ac-curate system that was developed for small mounted sprayers and self-pro-pelled machines. It offers the option of using chemical containers of vari-ous sizes up to bulk size units as one system. The combination of various chemical containers eliminates the need to change or convert draining/

metering systems and clean these systems separately. easyflow QF is designed to offer very easy cleaning, even when only some of the spray liquid is drained from the closed system, which results in enormous time savings.It also significantly reduces the risk of metering incorrect volumes into the system and their time-consuming re-moval. What’s more, the fact that the chemical inductor is disconnected from the suction line helps eliminate misapplications, which often result

from poor cleaning. This efficient, time-saving system makes a worth-while contribution to environmental protection and operator safety.

In-field transverse distribution checks for centrifugal spread-ers using traditional collection trays involve lots of time and effort. The trays cannot be taken in the tractor cab. Instead, farmers need a second vehicle and driver to transport the trays.A solution to this problem is the digital, mobile transverse dis-tribution test station for

centrifugal spreaders. It comprises a smart-phone app and a set of collection sheets. The operator collects the fertiliser granules on a set of flexible, easy-to-handle adhesive sheets and takes a picture using his or her smart-phone. This image is then evaluated by an image-processing app installed on the smart-phone which automat-ically calculates the

optimum spreader settings. This means the digital mobile test station offers significant advantages for the farm’s workflow and organisa-tional structures: Compared to testing with a collection tray, the EasyCheck digital mobile test station cuts testing time down by around 25 percent. This system will significantly increase the degree of market acceptance for in-field transverse distribution tests. It is expected to quickly gain accept-ance among farmers. In view of the new fertiliser application regulations, the value for the customer and the environment is extremely high.

GPS-Switch with AutoPointAMAZONEN-WERKEHasbergen-Gaste, Germany, hall 9, stand G14 Sowing, Planting

The time delay between activation of the metering motor and seed delivery at the openers can make it somewhat difficult to handle air seeders in the field. The delay frequently causes gaps in the crop, particularly when entering and exiting rows.GPS Switch with AutoPoint is a system evolution to reduce overlaps at the headland when working with air seeders. The simplified, automatic precision control system ensures a further increase in seed use efficiency. A sensor located on the opener detects the seed at the time of delivery. This way, the system can react to changes in seed behaviour, as the time delay depends on the structure of the delivery

system, blower speeds and seed flight characteristics. By automatically cal-culating the delivery time, the imple-ment control system is able to determine the optimum moment for starting and stopping the metering system at the headland. A graph on the display and an audible signal tell the operator to maintain the current ground speed until the tractor reaches and then leaves the headland (turning sequence). This

assistance system aids the operator in controlling the implement to ensure an improved seed pattern.

Irrigation

Plant Protection

The operation of field irrigation systems usually requires comprehen-

sive knowledge about the current soil moisture content and involves

frequent and/or periodic field checks.The new ICA- WIRELESS system is an intelligent irrigation con-troller which uses no more than a smart-phone or tablet app to monitor and control any make or model of irrigation systems (centre-pivot irrigators, field sprinklers, drip irrigation systems etc.). Three companies have worked together to

develop ICA-WIRELESS. The system combines individual solutions to a single logical system approach which includes and covers all areas of irrigation. Based on real-time soil moisture and precipitation measure-ments while taking into account the various plant and soil properties as well as the current weather fore-cast, the system calculates irrigation recommendations on a daily basis which are then implemented either manually or automatically. Real-time monitoring also enables timely fault detection and troubleshooting on the irrigation system. In addition, direct data transfer to a field log provides complete documentation of all irriga-tion measures.The ICA-WIRELESS irrigation control-ler offers high value to agricultural irrigation customers, as it ensures a considerable increase in water and energy efficiency and a considerable reduction in labour time.

Targeted and variable rate application of pesticides is fundamental for viable crop production and saves a consid-erable amount of money by mini-mising the use of chemicals.A joint development by agrotop, Amazone and Rometron, AmaSpot is an intelligent sensor nozzle system that reduces spray rates in crop protection. Detecting green plants against the soil background, the sys-tem is able to provide very localised application, saving 20-80 percent of the chemicals. Using advanced infra-red sensors, a unique and ultra-fast pulse width modulation (50 Hz) and bespoke low-drift nozzles on the Amazone Super-L boom, the system is able to detect green plants down to an accuracy of one square centimetre – by day or night and at speeds of up

to 20 km/h. Operating the valves and nozzles extremely fast, the system is able to reduce application rates from 100 percent to 30 percent instantly and infinitely variably and can also shut off the nozzle completely. In addition, it continues to control the rates also during turns. By combining a range of individual technologies and integrating them into Amazone’s sprayers, the system is the first to minimise application rates in European conditions.

Up to now, it was not possible to adjust the header settings (except for the reel) steplessly and independent-ly of all other combine settings and thereby respond to the current harvest conditions, machine requirements and ground speeds.Zürn has now developed the fully electric control cereal header i-Flow. The elevator driveshaft drives a 60V alternator package which powers the electric motors that drive all revolving assemblies. The motors also serve as sensors on electric drives. This design unlocks potential to optimise the header functions: the speeds of all assemblies can be adjusted individ-ually to conditions, such as reducing belt or auger speeds in low-yielding crops or patches. The speeds can also be matched to the current load

on the combine, such as controlling chopping frequency relative to the work rate. The electric header also offers intelligent overload protec-

tion and provides further potential for optimising the crop flow whilst reducing wear and interacting with the combine.

Integrated Combine Adjustment 2 (ICA2)John Deere GmbH & Co. KGMannheim, Germany, hall 13, stand E30 Grain Harvesting

Maintaining quality of work and output at high levels for long hours can be an overwhelming challenge for operators. For this reason, John Deere has upgraded the existing

Interactive Combine Adjustment technology by a complex system termed Integrated Combine Adjust-ment (ICA2). At the core of this new system are two cameras inside the

grain and the returns elevators as well as new and more accurate grain loss sensors. The footage of the two cameras can be viewed side by side or separately on the in-cab screen. If the operator agrees with the current work quality either after adjusting the settings manually or via the assis-tant, he or she can save the result as a target value. If the current quality is off target, ICA2 will correct all relevant settings automatically and continuously, including rotor speed, concave clearance, fan speed, sieve settings and throughput, depending on the operator’s priority: quality or output. A time-coded settings list tells the operator which adjustments have been made. This is the first system to adjust threshing automatically to target values and to present another step towards the optimisation of the entire process.

Grain Harvesting

Grain Harvesting

Many hybrid combines are not uti-lised to their full potential because operators fear blockages and time loss. The Claas-developed automatic crop flow control system is an alert and control system that allows the combine to be driven to its limits. The system continuously compares all sensor readings, including crop mat thickness and rotor speed, with the maximum throughput rates and the maximum driveline slippage for the specific assembly. It triggers an alarm

as soon as one of these parameters is only slightly exceeded. The crop flow control system responds to the alarm relative to the degree by which the limit value is exceeded by reducing ground speed automatically or stopping the header instantly. Consequently, the system enables the operator to drive the combine to its performance limit without the risk of blockages, not even when using a large concave gap set-ting in rape or operating

at low rotor speeds in long straw. Machine utilisation increases whereas downtime and repair risks decrease.

Combine losses increase despite the use of self-levelling sieves when the machine is working at high through-puts across a slope. The reason for this

is that a mix of chaff and grain collects on the downhill side of the sieves after the rotors and the return pan feed the material to the downhill side on the

grain pan. The so-called 4D cleaning system from Claas aims at maintaining the high performance of hybrid combines even in hilly fields and when working across the slope and downhill. Established self-levelling systems for wheeled combines are not suitable for these high-capacity machines which usually run on tracks. The rotor cage panels now

have three segments, and each seg-ment consists of two sections that can be opened and closed relative to the slope gradient, directing the separated material to the hillside return pan only and hence to the grain pan, thereby preventing too much material from collecting on the downhill side of the cleaning system and sudden surge in losses. Simple by design, the system has a complex control system that boosts performance of the combine and hence the efficiency of high-capacity combines on the slope.

As machines grow in performance and throughputs, drivelines are coming under revision by developers. Linde has developed a new double- axial piston hydro motor, the HMV 105 D. The unit is made up of two swash plate motors which are ar-ranged face to face on the piston end of a shaft. This design allows the use of one swash plate to alter the oil flow from both motors. This way, the inner motor forces are compensated and it is possible to use smaller bearings, which in turn reduces friction. Com-

pared with the single motor version, the new HMV 105 D double motor

generates higher maximum speeds and hence increases the ratio at which the oil flow is transformed into rotary movement. The new double motor is

also 30 percent lighter in weight than a motor with transaxle and shorter than other module versions. Its two drive shafts reduce the space required inside a drive-line, which results in an overall

higher specific power.

Grain Harvesting

Root Crop Harvesting

The data supplied by a combine’s yield metering system is often not accurate enough, because the system cannot be calibrated to any harvest

situation or because calibrating would disrupt the harvesting chain. As a result, the yield maps used are inaccurate and do not comply with

the standards of precision farming. John Deere has therefore extended the yield metering system by the Active Yield calibration system. Three weighing cells are fitted inside the grain tank and measure the vertical forces as the filling level rises. The calibrated system compares these forces with the data supplied by the yield sensor, taking into account the moisture sensor reading. The accura-cy of the calibrated result increases as the number of tank fills increase, so that the inaccuracy settles around +/- 3 %. Such a level of accuracy can normally be achieved only by skilled operators who calibrate several times a day. The system also compensates for a growing inaccuracy of the read-ings over several harvest campaigns due to wear and tear of the elevator chain.Active Yield is a new and automatic system that eliminates calibration and provides the basis for maintaining a high accuracy in yield metering results on a combine harvester.

Only five years ago it was incon-ceivable that beet harvesters were operating at tyre pressures of 1.4 bar, especially not triple-axle models. In ROPA Tiger 5, ROPA and MICHE-LIN offer a solution that reduces compaction and therefore contributes to viable farming. The new triple-axle running gear is the first system that provides hy-draulic load compensation even on side slopes (up to 10 percent slope gradient) and adjusts the pressure inside the big flotation tyres CerexBib IF 1000/55 R32 from Michelin ac-cordingly. The system eliminates peak loads on individual axles or wheels and – similar to tracks – spreads the weight over a larger contact area. The tyre or wheel pressure on the contact area is reduced by 33 % despite a 49 % higher mass. The positive effects

of increased traction and efficiency are overshadowed by the effect of soil

protection, which is the focus of this innovation.

Forage Harvesting

It is not always very easy for the opera-tor of the forage harvester to direct the chute into the trailer travelling along-side the forager. The John Deere “Active Fill Control Sync” uses GPS data of both the forage harvester and the tractor trailer combination trav-elling alongside. It also captures the contours of the trailer and the current filling level and controls the commu-nication between the machines. It is this communication that controls the tractor autonomously. This means the trailer is filled automatically and no part of the crop is lost. The GNSS data are used by the camera system for positioning the chute. Provided all machines in the harvest chains are equipped with GPS, it is now possible to synchronise all trailers automatically.

Forage harvesters crack the maize kernels with the help of corn crackers to make their high energy and nutrient levels more easily available for cattle and biogas plants.MCC MAX is a new conditioning system that comprises conditioning rollers which are made up of 30 ring sections each. The special arrange-ment and geometry of these rings defibre the material by applying

cutting and shearing forces in addi-tion to friction. This leads to a greater treatment intensity and extra defibra-tion of stalks and leaves, irrespective of the chop length. Dairy producers and biogas operators will benefit from a higher energy yield.

Monitoring the bal-ing pressure and the knotter function on a square baler repre-sents a great burden for operators.The new and elec-tronic control and monitoring system (APC) for square balers comprises an automatic baling pressure control sys-tem, which not only

uses the machine load as a parameter to control the baling pressure and density but for the first time also the quality of the twine. The system also monitors the twine system and issues an alarm when it detects a problem. The system presents a great boon for operators, especially when time is pressing because of the weather.

Up to now, the knots have been the weakest point on a tied bale.The double knotter from Rasspe has replaced bill discs by bill hooks. The hook makes better use of the tensile strength of the twine, because loop knots exploit the maximum tensile strength of a twine more effectively. The new knotter has an enclosed and low maintenance drive unit with only one single shaft for the entire tying process. Up to 8 units of this compact knotter can be fitted on a machine

with a 1.20 m bale chamber. At the same time, it may be possible to dispense with one knotter, because they tie knots of such a high strength.

Collecting silage bales and unloading the wrapped bales onto the ground is a very time-consuming process.The AutoLoad function from Kuhn ensures a fully automated and non-stop wrapping sys-tem for square

and round balers without any input from the operator. A laser integrated into the main frame detects the bale as the machine is approaching, scans the bale length and brings the load arms into their loading position. The bale is picked up with greatest accuracy, wrapped in film and unloaded on the move. This enhances the workflow and increases the overall output of the harvest chain.

In the past few years, the industry has used active and suction ventilation systems to improve storage conditions of freshly harvested potatoes and to ventilate uncovered bulk boxes. In stores with long rows of boxes, the air is not distributed uniformly within the stack, which leads to an inconsistent storage quality.

The new and simple air distribution system Every-Air by Mooij Agro BV uses a vertical tarp with perforations, which is positioned between the rows, complementing existing pressure ven-tilation systems for open bulk boxes. The tarp ensures that the air is evenly distributed in the entire row inside the store, providing consistent climate,

drying and cooling conditions and hence improving the overall quality and storage efficiency.

Unlike agricultural tractors, forestry tractors are specialist tractors that use permanently mounted tools. Pfanzelt Pm Trac 2380 4f is outstand-ing for its large load space on the rear axle which has a quick-fit system that allows swapping equipment without tools. A separate tractor chassis with a bridge frame and hydraulic suspen-sion system that locks automatically increases the tractor’s stability. The panoramic cab offers optimum visibil-ity and the electric 340° operator seat ergonomic control. This specification allows owners to deploy Pfanzelt Pm Trac 2380 4f in different applications without time-consuming preparations and is a universal system tractor that suits work in agriculture and forestry, landscaping and waste disposal.

A high level of food safety requires consistent documentation of the food production chain from the field to the plate.Fliegl Tracker is a Beacon-based vehicle detection system. Beacon is a small and cost-effective Blue-tooth transmitter which is constantly transmitting its code signals; these are received by antennas stationed within close range. The Fliegl Tracker is a universal device that can be operated on any vehicle and machine of any

make, for example on a combine harvester. As the combine is loading the crop into the grain cart, the cart receives the code of the combine.

As the cart is unloading into the road truck, the truck sends its code data to the cart. Then, when the truck unloads the grain at the store, the silo receives the truck’s beacon code.This means the grain flow is tracked from the field to the store. The univer-sal Fliegl Tracker is not restricted to harvesting operations but is suitable for any application and communica-tion.

Topsoil Mapper is a non-contact system for measuring soil param-eters in real time. The device is installed on the tractor’s front linkage where it automatically detects a range of soil parameters, including compacted patches, degree of saturation with water and soil type, as the tractor traverses the field. Transmitter and receiver coils detect and

compute the apparent conductivity down to a depth of 1.1m. The device software prepares 3D soil maps and is able to control the depth of an implement. The device increases area output, is weatherproof and easy to operate by the farmer himself.

Digital image processing increases the potential of imaging systems that de-tect the environment of an agricultural machine. The technology is a major advance from purely visual solutions.The factory-installed technology pro-cesses digital data, which expands the operator’s vision by offering perspectives from different angles or integrates additional information and

image processing algorithms into the image. Using a number of cameras, the system creates a 360° panoramic view and 360° image of the machine and its surrounding from various perspectives including a bird’s eye view (John Deere 360 deg 3D cam-era system, Fendt 360° 3D combine camera). Furthermore, it is possible to import additional information into the system, including projected wheelmarks or the pivoting range of the machine’s rear end (John Deere). The Driver Extended Eyes system from Same Deutz-Fahr demonstrates the potential of digital camera image processing for enhanced operator focus.This innovation provides a major boost to the aspects of safety, driver assis-tance and automation.

The direction of cultivation and the maximisation of traffic efficiency are often issues on large and awkwardly shaped fields.The CLAAS route-optimising software computes the optimum route for the specific geometry of the field. The system computes the layout of the field and shows how the tracks can be arranged to achieve the most efficient traffic, along with a forecast on the amount of time required. It compares the current and the projected situation and introduces steps to improve it as necessary. The software is a planning tool which can be integrated into the internet-based 365FarmNet platform.

The field route-optimising system suits all field work in arable and grassland farming. According to the manufacturer, the computed results can be used to reduce the time required for covering the field by 6 percent on average.

Integral drive on Fendt Former 12555XAGCO GmbH – FendtMarktoberdorf, Germany, hall 20, stand B08f Forage Harvesting

Traditionally, the rotors on rotary rakes are powered mechanically, hydrauli-cally or by the driveshaft.The Fendt integral drive is the first compact electric torque drive that is integrated in the top of the rake. Each motor is controlled independently by a separate electronic system, and this allows the fitting of an automatic

overload protection and a quick stop mechanism. Each rotor can operate at its own individual speed and can thus respond to the specific harvest conditions. The specific energy input is lower than that on direct drive systems.

IDTA Air Injector twin flat spray nozzleLechler GmbHMetzingen, Germany, hall 8, stand B15 Plant Protection

Twin flat spray nozzles offer a number of advantages for successful spraying. Up to now, it has been difficult to clean existing systems from block-ages. This requires operators to wear protective gloves, because the risk of contamination is greatest here.IDTA is an asymmetric double flat spray nozzle (30° to the front, 50° to the rear), which in contrast to other systems achieves the same effective spray width on the target surface. This is implemented by the special spray pattern. A 120° spray in direction of travel applies 60 percent of the flow rate while a 90° spray to the rear

applies 40 % of the flow. What’s more, this is a nozzle-cap system which offers straightforward removal and clean-ing in the field, even when the operator is wearing protective gloves. He can even remove and clean the injector wear-ing gloves. This way, the nozzle offers the double

benefit of using twin flat spray technology and providing operator and environmental protec-tion.

Fendt VarioDrive – drivelineAGCO GmbH – FendtMarktoberdorf, Germany, hall 20, stand B08f Tractors, Transport

Growing engine power and an in-creasing demand for higher efficiency make it necessary to re-assess present powertrain concepts.The innovative “Fendt VarioDrive” powertrain system constant-ly compares and adjusts the speeds of the front and rear axles, thereby eliminating any excessive wheel slip and avoid-ing torsional effects in the powertrain in all situations. “Pull-in-Turn” is a feature that reduces the turning circle. As ground speed increas-es the system uncouples the hydromotor on the front axle to

increase the efficiency. This is further increased by reducing the gearbox input speeds.The system enhances the overall driveline efficiency, prevents reactive

power and makes for soil-friendly operation.

GoHarvest Premium combine simulatorJohn Deere GmbH & Co. KGMannheim, Germany, hall 13, stand E30 Grain Harvesting

If a high-capacity combine is not operated properly, the machine may fail and the resulting downtime costs may exceed the purchase price many

times over. Consequently, uninitiated operators should receive training on the complex operation of a combine harvester.

John Deere has developed the Go-Harvest Premium combine operation simulator, which allows drivers to be trained outside the harvest season and in various scenarios. Three screens provide a virtual workplace for the op-erator who is seated on a genuine com-bine seat. In this environment, he can learn and practise all functions of the machine – from road transport to shunt-ing and header attachment/removal as well as filling the trailer. Service and maintenance are also included in the training. Like existing systems, GoHar-vest simulates the harvesting operation in the fields and adjusting the combine settings. The simulation experience is more intense than the one provid-ed by an online simulator and has a greater learning effect. The simulator is installed at the dealership where it can be used in training sessions or hired out to customers who use it to avoid operator errors and machine downtime as a result of these.
