Features include a 2400-gallon liquid fertilizer cart with a sloping hopper bottom style tank for good stability on the field, a way to get more use out of your self-propelled swather by mounting a sprayer on it, an auto steering system that practically eliminates overlap and greatly reduces fatigue during jobs such as seeding and spraying, and an easy-to-build sensor that tells you how much compaction your tractor and other equipment are causing on your land. You’ll see a replica of a Big Bud tractor at work in the field, a high capacity self-propelled rock picker built out of an International combine, a foam based fire suppression system that’s portable for use in case of emergency around the farm or ranch, and a soil aerator that boosts soil productivity by improving the movement of moisture into the soil. Other inventions profiled include a seed treater that uniformly coats seed as it’s augered into the seeder, a sky jack modified for farm use to make it safer to climb and work on high buildings, a tractor mounted machine called the Bush Wacker that clears brush along fence lines, and a self-propelled high clearance sprayer with 90 foot hydraulically controlled booms.
