Inventions #13

Product Description

This DVD profiles a variety of different inventions and innovations built to make life easier for farmers and farm families.  See an innovative tendering system that allows the operator to fill the air seeder without needing to climb down from the seed cart, a four wheel drive tractor converted to a self-propelled sprayer, and another s.p. sprayer built with two booms for effective spraying in short crop and tall crop situations alike.  This video features a 2200 gallon liquid fertilizer cart that allows the operator to cover up to 100 acres between fills, a combine attachment designed for straight cutting canola with minimal shelling losses, a tractor built out of several different salvaged combines with a telescoping front end loader, and a Weed Whacker built on an old Gleaner combine for organic weed control.  Other inventions profiled include a self propelled snow blower built around an old International combine, a truck modified so it can carry a grain box or a flat deck for hauling round bales or a camper trailer, an agile riding mower created around the skeleton of an old garden tractor, and a group of agriculture students that have come up with a low cost large scale system for making biodiesel to run farm equipment.
