Tandem disk

The Case IH RMX340 and RMX370 tandem disk harrows can be used in row

crop or dryland environments.

The RMX340 seedbed tandem disk harrow is for light to medium-heavy

residue. The heavy-duty RMX370 creates a level working surface in high

crop production environments and dryland conditions.

The redesigned hitch has thicker walls and an increased section of pull

plates.

The RMX340 uses 20 inch blades set at 7.5 inch spacings to manage light

to moderate residue levels and prepare smooth seedbeds. For heavier

residue, 22 inch blades with nine inch spacing would be the choice.

The RMX370 all-purpose disk uses 24 inch blades with nine inch

spacings. Exclusive shallow-concavity blades on the front gangs provide

soil penetration, while minimizing back pressure and compaction.

RMX340 blades, mounted on 4.5 inch spools, apply 100-150 pounds of

pressure to slice through residue. RMX370 blades, mounted with six inch

spools, apply 165-200 lb.

With working widths ranging from 19 to 34 feet and transport widths

from 13 to 18 feet, RMX Series disk harrows use durable, heavy wall

front-to-rear tubing.

Working depth is monitored via a gauge viewable from the cab. Depth

adjustments are performed through a single point hydraulic control.

Infinitely adjustable eyebolts provide precise wing levelling, and fore

and aft levelling is performed using a standard mechanical turnbuckle

or optional hydraulic control.

New Gleaner

Gleaner’s new R65 and R75 combines feature an improved cab, controls

and monitoring system.

It has kept the natural-flow processing system with the transverse

rotor and the Cummins engine with high-torque split hydrostatic drive,

four-speed transmissions.

The new ComforTech cab has larger mirrors, a larger door and enhanced

lighting. The air suspension system seat is adjustable.

Frequently used controls are located on the new armrest console on the

right side of the operator seat and on the hydro control handle. The

heads-up digital display and B-post analog monitoring systems review

many machine functions, including shaft speeds.

Potato harvester

Lockwood has a new three-row potato harvester.

The 473H is a wheels-under machine. With the standard folding boom, the

harvester can be narrowed to minimize width for transport.

The harvester can be fitted with chain secondaries, Lockwood roller

tables, a variety of star and combination cleaning tables, full width

vine choppers, several fan systems for air cleaning, and various drive

and control options.

For more information contact Lockwood at Box 849, West Fargo, North

Dakota, U.S.A. 58078-0849, phone 800-247-7335 or visit

Sprayer nozzles

Greenleaf Technologies has a new nozzle for farmers who spray

acid-based chemicals such as potato desiccants, giving them multiple

uses from one set of nozzles.

Most spray nozzles are made from polyaecetyl plastic, but it is

unsuitable for acid-based chemicals because it breaks down quickly and

becomes brittle.

The AirMix AMCQ nozzle is made from polypropylene, an acid-resistant

plastic.

The AMCQ nozzles are available in six sizes: 110015, 02, 03, 04, 05 and

06. AirMix AMCQ are compact, low drift air injection nozzles.
