Pre-seed burnoff
Farmers can now do a fall pre-seed burnoff before seeding winter wheat, using DuPont’s Express SG tank-mixed with glyphosate.

Bobcat remote control
Loader operators who work in applications that require two or more people, or who want to minimize worksite environment discomforts, can now use a loader with a radio remote control system from Bobcat Co.
Operators can start the loader engine and operate the drive, lift, tilt and auxiliary hydraulic functions from 500 metres away with the radio remote control transmitter.
The transmitter joystick controls activate the loader’s joystick controls in the ISO control pattern. The system is usable for up to 15 hours on a rechargeable battery.
The transmitter weighs 8.5 pounds without straps. Its transmitting range will vary depending upon worksite conditions. Visual contact with the loader and its travel path is always required.
