Stubble cutter
Recutting tall stubble may be necessary to get the full benefits of zero or minimum tillage. Acme Industries has developed a 30-inch wide stubble cutter that can be pulled by a three-quarter ton truck with hydraulics, or by a tractor, at speeds up to 25 km-h.
The knife is the highest part of the bar, so cut material can fall immediately.
Features include a push or pull design, rubber torsion ride caster wheels, centre-mounted wobble box, two 15-inch knives and a longer front to back clearance to allow material to fall back between cut bar and back frame.

Equipment safety lights
Farm Alert Lighting, developed by E.T.M. Industries Inc., is a lightweight and portable tail light system that can be quickly attached to farm equipment before moving it down roadways. The battery-equipped lights are activated by motion, so tail lights and orange warning lights remain on as long as the implement is moving. The lights automatically shut off when the unit has been stationary for two minutes. When in motion, turn signals can be activated using a remote control device held by the operator, and remain on for 45 seconds after the appropriate button is pressed. The lights come with an aluminum collapsible bar that can be quickly mounted on various types of farm equipment.
