SAMSON GROUP A/SALTA system (Altitude Assist.) - Assistance for spreading in hilly areas

The ALTA system, available on the Pichon SV range of liquid spreaders, optimizes the use of organic fertilizer on hilly terrain or mountainous areas. It is characterized by a front drain circuit for downhill draining and a rear drain circuit for uphill draining. Two hydraulic valves are submerged and installed on the inner pipe of the tank. The inclinometer built into the tank for reading the slope in real time allows automatic selection of the front or rear drain valve from the iControl 7S control terminal without driver intervention. The aim and the benefit of this innovation is to reduce the driver's mental workload and to facilitate his piloting in emptying mode. The ALTA device is compatible with the upper drain circuit itself associated with the DPA and the drain accelerator. It prevents the emptying system from becoming unprimed and guarantees regular and homogeneous spreading.

SEMAS SAR ISS (Soil Tracking Interface)

Device for autonomous management of mounted implements installed on the front or rear linkage. The three-point interface is installed between the carried implement and the front or rear linkage of an agricultural tractor. Three axes of articulation can thus be activated: Right-left lateral position, vertical bottom-top position and depth position (3rd hydraulic point). The interface functionalities can be managed from the cabin. By eliminating the depth wheels of the tools in favor of a load transfer on the driving axles, this interface makes it possible to use a lighter and less powerful tractor, with more precision, and facilitates the driving of the driver.

BENNAMANN / NEW HOLLAND France Small-scale biomethane recovery for a negative carbon footprint

New Holland and Bennamann have developed a modular, efficient and economically sustainable solution to recover and use compressed biomethane (Bio-CNG), by capturing fugitive emissions from effluent storage. The storage of slurry from a dairy farm, existing or after upgrading, is covered with a two-compartment tarpaulin. Once the pit was covered, a farm of 90 dairy cows / 150 LU in Cornouaille produced, for example, 20 t of bio-CNG. A New Holland T6.180 Methane Power tractor (155 Ch.) was used for 900 hours, and 55 MWh of electricity was produced with the generator, or 85% of the needs of the milking installation. Furthermore, in a region where rainfall reaches 1500 mm per year, covering the slurry storage pit avoids dilution phenomena.

KUHN AURA - Autonomous Self-Propelled Mixer

The AURA autonomous self-propelled mixer combines all the functions of loading, unloading, weighing, mixing, distributing and pushing fodder. The breeder thus has a completely autonomous precision feeding solution from the silo to the trough. The loading device allows unloading directly at the silo for silage or even directly in the stocks of long fodder. With a capacity of 3 mÂł, the mixer ensures multi-distribution throughout the day in order to regularly supply a fresh ration from the silos and limit competition at the trough.

KVERNELANDPUDAMA - Ultra localized fertilization - Single seed drill

PUDAMA technology integrates with the range of Optima Kverneland precision seed drills. Its objective is to optimize the performance of the starter fertilizer applied to single seed sowing. Contrary to conventional seed drills which localize the fertilizer during sowing by a continuous band along the sowing line, the PUDAMA deposits a spot of fertilizer at the level of each seed. A brush, positioned at each injector, retains the fertilizer. Thanks to a jet of pressurized air, the brush opens and the fertilizer is pulsed into the furrow. The agronomic interest of this technique has been tested by studies from the University of Cologne which show a reduction of 25% in the dose of fertilizer provided while maintaining 100% of the yield.

MAGSIEasyShark - Wall-closing grapple bucket

MAGSI launches the grab grab with closure against a wall: EasyShark. A novelty for the agricultural sector, thanks to an innovative kinematics of its grapple. The latter goes straight down in front of the wall without having to cave in the dumpster first. A considerable advantage for each user who will no longer need to get off his tractor, telescopic or other to pick up the waste material lost by a so-called “standard” tipper.
