AGCO Company has gained 5 2025 AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Organic Engineers (ASABE).
Every year, ASABE recognises merchandise from the agricultural, meals and organic industries for innovation, engineering development and market influence.
AGCO’s 2025 awards embrace choices from its AGCO Elements, Fendt, Precision Planting and PTx Trimble branded merchandise.
AGCO Elements’ Software Carry System permits operators to raise and alternate utility techniques (normally dry to/from liquid) at their very own areas. Previous to this answer, further gear equivalent to cranes and loaders have been required for such adjustments, growing value, time, problem and personnel wants. The Software Carry System can leverage the adjustable suspension of the Fendt Rogator applicator to carry out a lot of the alternate. Optionally available chain hoists can be found for remaining changes or lifting from machines that don’t embrace 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 affords adjustable steering sensitivity and a return-to-centre operate 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 embrace Concealfertilizer openers and EMHD for correct liquid management. The Load Logic system and excessive flexion tires scale back compaction, and the SmartFrame toolbar affords 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 decoding sounds and alerting operators by way of 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 pace 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 discipline.
“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, scale 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.”
