New farmer-focused solutions from AGCO Parts,
Fendt, Precision Planting and PTx Trimble recognized for innovation
and engineering excellence.
DULUTH,
Ga., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO
Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design,
manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and
precision ag technology, won five 2025 AE50 awards from the
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).
Each year, ASABE recognizes products from the agricultural, food
and biological industries for innovation, engineering advancement
and market impact. AGCO's 2025 awards include offerings from its
AGCO Parts, Fendt®, Precision Planting® and
PTx Trimble™ branded products, demonstrating quality across the
company's product lines and confirming AGCO as a leading innovator
of agriculture solutions.
"AGCO's 2025 AE50 winners build on the momentum set by our
innovations of the last five years, providing farmer-focused
solutions that save time, reduce costs and enhance yields," said
AGCO Chairman, President & CEO Eric
Hansotia. "I'm especially proud that these awards span our
brands, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to addressing farmers'
needs and values."
AGCO Parts Application Lift System
AGCO Parts'
Application Lift System allows operators to efficiently lift and
exchange application systems (usually dry to/from liquid) at their
own locations, increasing machine usefulness, versatility and
return on investment. Prior to this solution, additional equipment
such as cranes and loaders were required for such changes,
increasing cost, time, difficulty and personnel needs. The
Application Lift System can leverage the adjustable suspension of
the Fendt Rogator® applicator to perform most of
the exchange. Optional chain hoists are available for final
adjustments or lifting from machines that do not include adjustable
suspensions.
Fendt ErgoSteer™ Retrofittable Steering Joystick
Fendt
ErgoSteer is a retrofittable steering joystick for Fendt 500
to 1000 series tractors that provides ergonomic, precise and
intuitive control for field operations. Operated with the left hand
from the seat's armrest, ErgoSteer allows comfortable and efficient
tractor control with minimal movement from the driver. Compatible
with all FendtONE™ Profi+ wheel tractors with the latest software,
ErgoSteer offers adjustable steering sensitivity and a
return-to-center function for straight driving.
Fendt Momentum® 30-Foot
Planter
The Fendt Momentum 30-Foot Planter
brings advanced planting benefits to smaller farms, with
100-bushel seed capacity and 800-gallon liquid fertilizer capacity.
Factory-installed Precision Planting options include
Conceal® fertilizer openers and
EMHD® for accurate liquid control. The Load Logic™
system and high flexion tires reduce compaction, and the
SmartFrame™ toolbar offers 52 inches of row unit travel for
uniform planting depth, leading to improved emergence and optimum
yields.
Precision Planting ReconBlockage™ Sensor
Precision
Planting's ReconBlockage prevents skips and yield loss when seeding
and fertilizing by using acoustic sensors to detect flow variance
by section, instantly alerting operators of blocked runs, which
cost time and money. ReconBlockage sensors work like stethoscopes,
capturing and interpreting sounds and alerting operators via a
wireless app to buildup issues that would otherwise plague optical
sensors.
PTx Trimble OutRun™ Autonomous Grain Cart
Solution
OutRun is an autonomous solution that allows
tractors to pull grain carts without drivers during harvest. It is
a self-contained kit that supports older tractor models and helps
maintain or improve productivity when labor is scarce. OutRun's
interface allows operators to position grain carts around fields,
and autonomously match speed and distance with combines for
on-the-go unloading and unloading in designated zones. The solution
avoids unharvested land and uses previously traveled paths to
minimize soil compaction. OutRun operates using its own
communication system for reliable operation regardless of cellular
coverage in the field.
