No-till drill
The Great Plains 3.7 metre (12-foot) end-wheel no-till drill is designed for small to medium-sized operations. Its 27 centimetre (103Ú4-in.) coulter and opener stagger increases trash flow. T-handle depth control and solid seed tubes ensure accurate seed placement. Straight-arm, solid-stand openers with a cushioned press wheel provide maximum down pressure with less wear and tear. The fully-welded seed box holds up to 2.4 bushels per foot. Fluted feed seed cups and four-speed gearbox mean accurate seeding under varying rates and conditions.
The unit is equipped with transport safety lights and wide walkboard. Options include flat-fold markers, coil tine harrow, seed box agitator and small seeds attachment.

Milking pulsator
Westfalia has released its latest stanchion barn pulsator. The Autopuls C is an electronically controlled 24-volt pulsator with end-of-milking indicator that helps provide individual attention to each cow. The milk:rest ratio, pulsation rate, end-of-milk flow rates and memory strip time are adjustable.
A red light blinks when the cow is near milk-out and lights continuously when she is done milking. To prevent overmilking, the pulsator will shut off in the rest phase at the end of milking. All start/stop functions are accessible at the remote start button, located near the milker unit. Maintenance is reduced due to in-line filters in the 0.7 cm (9Ú32-in.)pulsation hose.

Stabilizer bar
Rodman combine stabilizer bars are now available for Massey 750 and 850 combines, in addition to Case IH and John Deere 6600, 6620, 7700 and 7720 machines. The stabilizer bars oscillate with the combine’s axle according to ground contour and will help prevent breakage by taking sidewise pressure off the pivot tube. The bars also stabilize the rear axle for easier turning on end rows and improve high-speed steering control on combines with loose bushings.
