AGCO Company has received 5 2025 AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Organic Engineers (ASABE).
Annually, ASABE recognises merchandise from the agricultural, meals and organic industries for innovation, engineering development and market impression.
AGCO’s 2025 awards embody choices from its AGCO Elements, Fendt, Precision Planting and PTx Trimble branded merchandise.
AGCO Elements’ Utility Carry System permits operators to carry and change software techniques (normally dry to/from liquid) at their very own areas. Previous to this answer, further tools similar to cranes and loaders have been required for such modifications, growing value, time, issue and personnel wants. The Utility Carry System can leverage the adjustable suspension of the Fendt Rogator applicator to carry out a lot of the change. Elective chain hoists can be found for last changes or lifting from machines that don’t embody adjustable suspensions.
Fendt ErgoSteer is a retrofittable steering joystick for Fendt 500 to 1000 collection tractors. Operated with the left hand from the seat’s armrest, ErgoSteer permits snug and environment friendly tractor management with minimal motion from the driving force. Appropriate with all FendtOne Profi+ wheel tractors with the most recent software program, ErgoSteer provides adjustable steering sensitivity and a return-to-centre perform for straight driving.
The Fendt Momentum 30-Foot Planter brings planting advantages to smaller farms, with 100-bushel seed capability and 800-gallon liquid fertilizer capability. Manufacturing facility-installed Precision Planting choices embody Concealfertilizer openers and EMHD for correct liquid management. The Load Logic system and excessive flexion tires cut back compaction, and the SmartFrame toolbar provides 52 inches of row unit journey for uniform planting depth.
Precision Planting’s ReconBlockage prevents skips and yield loss when seeding and fertilizing by utilizing acoustic sensors to detect move variance by part, immediately alerting operators of blocked runs, which value money and time. ReconBlockage sensors work like stethoscopes, capturing and deciphering sounds and alerting operators through a wi-fi app to buildup points that will in any other case plague optical sensors.
OutRun is an autonomous answer that enables tractors to drag grain carts with out drivers throughout harvest. It’s a self-contained equipment that helps older tractor fashions and helps preserve or enhance productiveness when labour is scarce.
OutRun’s interface permits operators to place grain carts round fields, and autonomously match velocity and distance with combines for on-the-go unloading and unloading in designated zones. The answer avoids unharvested land and makes use of beforehand travelled paths to minimise soil compaction. OutRun operates utilizing its personal communication system for dependable operation no matter mobile protection within the area.
“AGCO’s 2025 AE50 winners construct on the momentum set by our improvements of the final 5 years, offering farmer-focused options that save time, cut back prices and improve yields,” says Eric Hansotia, AGCO chairman, president and CEO. “I’m particularly proud that these awards span our manufacturers, demonstrating our ongoing dedication to addressing farmers’ wants and values.”
