Application system
The Ivomec Pour-On PowerMaster application system from Merial Canada is
designed for high-volume cattle processing situations.
The system is powered by compressed air. It offers fast filling action,
improved
ergonomics, a light handset and a powered trigger designed to lessen
hand strain.
In its pour-on application configuration, it will dose from five to 50
millilitres in five ml increments.

VIDEO: Green Lightning and Nytro Ag win sustainability innovation award
Nytro Ag Corp and Green Lightning recieved an innovation award at Ag in Motion 2025 for the Green Lightning Nitrogen Machine, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form.
John Deere has added two 15 foot rotary cutters, the CX-15 and HX-15.
The double-decker design provides extra strength, improves cutting
performance and reduces rust on the top deck.
The HX-15 provides a cushioned operation, as spring-suspended wheel
standards allow for even cutting on rough terrain.
The CX-15 maneuvres smoothly over uneven fields by combining air
springs and shock absorbers on all wheel standards. The wheels on both
models are adjustable for most row spacings.
The cutters have self-levelling clevis hitches that provide smooth
tracking and pulling, and allow operators more maneuvrability for tight
turns, the company said.
The wings fold up to a nine foot width for transport.
With six inch blade overlap, both rotary cutters offer wings that flex
vertically from 90 degrees above grade to 22 degrees below grade,
allowing them to follow the contours of the ground. In both models,
the left side can be removed and replaced with a weight box,
transforming it into a 10 foot flex-wing rotary cutter.

Guidance system
CenterLine, the new lightbar guidance system from Midwest Technologies,
has a global positioning system-based guidance system with wireless
remote control.
The system, which consists of a compact, high-lumen lightbar, submeter
GPS antenna-receiver and wireless remote control, uses differential
corrections from the free WAAS, or wide area augmentation system,
reducing expense.
The CenterLine lightbar has the usual arrangement of green, yellow and
red guidance lights arranged in a curved arc at the top of the
lightbar. The compact curved design makes the steering cues provided by
the system more intuitive than straight lightbars.
The brightness of the LEDs is adjustable for easy observation in
various light conditions.
A text display on the lightbar gives the
operator a choice of messages about the current job as he works.
Vehicle speed, area covered, track error and several other messages are
available.
The wireless remote has seven large, backlit keys that direct the
functions of the system through menus shown on the lightbar text-report
display.
The handheld remote runs on two AA
batteries.
With no need for cables to connect the lightbar to the handheld
control, the cab remains sealed from dust or other contaminants, even
if the lightbar is mounted on the hood of the vehicle.
Long-term plans are to enable the system to communicate with a handheld
computer that will display maps of work in process and provide
application records.
CenterLine is available through TeeJet and Mid-Tech distributors.
