Piglet shelter
Koenders new Piggy Deck provides a safe and controlled environment for piglets.
The pen space is 38 by 61 by 27 inches. Outside dimensions are 48 by 67 by 35 inches and the trough is nine by 62 by four inches. The trough is separated into 12 stalls 43/4 inches wide.
A one-half inch drain plug in the feed trough allows for easy washout. The plug in the pit is accessible under a plastic grating for easy cleaning.
There is an area in the roof for a heat lamp.

GPS guided hitch
Outback Guidance’s new GPS Hitch provides improved implement guidance and is designed to replace traditional disc markers.
The hitch mounts on the tractor drawbar and connects directly to the Outback S global positioning guidance system.
In the “follow GPS” mode, the hitch follows the GPS guideline.
If the operator strays from the line, the hitch will compensate to correct the implement’s path.
In “follow tracks” mode, the hitch allows the implement to properly track through standing crops on hillsides and on curves, the company says. It can be mounted on tractors from 80-228 horsepower. Compact, dual cylinders provide 20 inches of hitch swing.
A tilt sensor provides side hill compensation.
