Baler makes denser bales
New Holland recently introduced the BR7070 CropCutter model, capable of producing four by six foot roto-cut round bales for dry hay, silage or straw for bedding.
The rotary cutting system, equipped with up to 15 knives, cuts crop as it is fed into the baler. The BR7070 can cut hay as short as 2.5 inches.
CropCutter bales are denser and heavier due to the smaller particle length. In silage, this increased compaction means less air in the bale, resulting in better fermentation. In straw, it results in easier spreading and increased absorbency.

Spray and planter controller
Rinex has introduced the AS7500 controller for auto shutoff.
Primarily designed for boom section shutoff, the AS7500 can also be used on planters fitted with Tru Count clutches.
The unit allows precise switching to minimize overapplication, whether on headlands or around obstacles.
The AS7500 is compatible with any GPS receiver or guidance system. Plug and play cables are available for most spray rate controllers and generic cables can be wired for nearly every other situation that requires automatic section control.

Product cart
Great Plains now has available the 350 bushel capacity ADC2350 and ADC2350B air carts. The ADC2350 is a pull-between model, while the ADC2350B is a pull-behind.
Both models are equipped with two 175 bu. poly hoppers that allow customers to fill both hoppers with seed, or one with seed and the other with fertilizer.
They include pressurized and compartmentalized meters that eliminate cross-feeding and increase planting consistency by pressurizing the seed tanks.
Both models feature an eight inch fill auger that will load and unload the hoppers.
A Dickey-John IntelliAg system monitors all variable-rate and seed-monitoring functions from the same screen.
The carts include infinite ratio gearboxes that accept GPS variable rate seeding.
