Clean-up wand
The Conveyair grain clean-up wand is a lightweight, low profile four-wheeled wand for use with grain vacuums.
It cleans up grain in flat storage, spills and inside bins.
Low profile steel wheels keep the intake close to the ground.
A swivel connector makes the unit easy to manoevre without having to carry the hose.
The unit is designed for the Conveyair series of grain vacs, but can be used with other models.
The company also has a steel flex hose that has less friction than standard hoses and is more durable.

Farm grapple
Bobcat has a new farm grapple that helps transport hard-to-handle materials like loose hay, bedding and manure.
It is attached to a utility fork or Bobcat bucket.
The double-acting hydraulic cushion cylinder tightly grips material.
The design allows the operator to position the forks or bucket close to fences or walls. The new 55-inch width fits buckets up to 80 inches wide.
Four standard bolt-in replaceable teeth and extra tooth-mount locations allow operators to add up to four teeth for increased strength.

Yard and garden cultivator
Free Form has developed a small sturdy cultivator for category one garden and yard tractors.
The model 1000 is capable of real tillage with 11-inch sweeps, yet at 360 pounds is light enough for many category one tractors.
The 1000 has a two-row frame construction on nine inch shank spacing.
The base size is 51/4 feet extendible, 63/4 feet or 81/4 feet. The heavy 7/8 inch shanks enable it to till up to 20 centimetres deep.
These rigidly mounted shanks come with a five-year breakage warranty and a lifetime exchange warranty on bent shanks.
Compared to a factory built roto-tiller, the 1000 is virtually maintenance free and capable of higher operating speeds, which increases productivity. For better control of cultivating depth, the 1000 can be equipped with optional gauge wheels.
