ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How much horse power is too much for a stock tractor? 300hp? 500? How about 5000hp? Does subscription free AI exist? and why are small bales King in the USA?
This week Kit brings us four of his top picks from the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville Kentucky. But before we hear about the latest Agritech Kit shares his experience from the Championship Tractor pull and some of the ear splitting engines fitted to these beasts of the arena.
Meanwhile at the show we heard from:
Eric Franks of Visionworks Camera Systems who tells us all about their subscription free AI safety cameras that promise to help drivers identify and avoid collisions with bystanders by providing alerts and distance measurements.
Mark Ray from GEA who explains the CattleEye system for tracking lameness in dairy herds using AI driven camera systems to monitor behaviour. Can prognosis be better than diagnosis and do the numbers stack up for all dairy businesses?
Bryce Baker of PTX talks through the latest developments from the GPS navigation company and how their hardware and software could help farmers to access autonomy for field operations such as corn carting and harvest. Could retrofit autonomous tractors open up opportunities to complete tillage tasks within time critical windows? Bryce also showcases the Arrowshot technology that can perfectly orient and place maize (corn) seeds in the ground during drilling to ensure all the leaves all all the plants are aligned in the field.
Ben Mansfield (a friendly face from the UK and Harper Adams days) describes how British manufacturer JCB is finding its niche in the US machinery sector with skid steers and telehandlers. Ben also explains how JCB is challenging perceptions about the role of a telehandler on the farm. Could a ‘construction machine’ really find a home working in an ag setting? European farmers think so.
As ever Ray and Kit deliver these insights with their own thoughts and insights…
