Full conference details are available at www.beefconference.com.


Cutterbars Deliver Trouble-Free Mowing
New Holland’s new line of Discbine mower-conditioners features the latest advances in disc cutterbar technology: the MowMax modular cutterbar protected by ShockPro disc-drive hubs. Standard on all of the company’s H7000 Series models, these features provide a cleaner cut, reduced operating costs and less downtime. The MowMax cutterbar is designed with individually sealed disc-drive modules so if the mower hits an obstruction, damage is contained within the module. The ShockPro hubs protect the cutterbar drive.

Minimum-Tillage Disc Drill
Amity Technology, LLC, has introduced the Air Double Disc Drill. The Fargo, ND, company claims the minimum-tillage drill provides excellent seed placement at higher field speeds. “Individual-row depth control on the double-disc drill ensures superior seed placement and uniform packing,” says Jack Oberlander, manager of the company’s planting and seeding division. The drill is available in 40’ and 45’ widths, with 6” or 6¾” row spacing. Visit www.amitytech.com/news/tilldrill.


Shock Protection For Mowers
New Case IH cutting machines feature a shock protection system that replaces the drive hub of discs with a shock hub, making in-field repairs fast and easy. “This helps prevent time-robbing, expensive field failures when an obstruction is encountered,” says a company spokesperson. Shock hubs are standard on Case IH MD Series disc mowers; DC Series disc mower-conditioners, previously known as the DCX Series; RD Series mower-conditioner headers; and TD102 pull-type disc mowers.

Product Controller Improves Spray Coverage
Raven Industries’ Switch Pro product controller, used with the Envizio Pro or Viper Pro field computers, eliminates traditional cab consoles. The easy-to-use console includes single product control for liquid or NH3, 10-boom section control, a speed sense control and AccuBoom boom section control. Switch Pro improves coverage while avoiding no-spray zones and previously sprayed areas for chemical savings of up to 8% or more, according to the company. Visit www.ravenprecision.com.
