AGCO Company has received 5 2025 AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Organic Engineers (ASABE).
Annually, 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 Components, Fendt, Precision Planting and PTx Trimble branded merchandise.
AGCO Components’ Software Elevate System permits operators to carry and alternate software methods (often dry to/from liquid) at their very own areas. Previous to this resolution, extra gear resembling cranes and loaders have been required for such modifications, rising price, time, problem and personnel wants. The Software Elevate System can leverage the adjustable suspension of the Fendt Rogator applicator to carry out many of the alternate. Optionally available chain hoists can be found for closing 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 motive force. Suitable with all FendtOne Profi+ wheel tractors with the most recent software program, ErgoSteer affords adjustable steering sensitivity and a return-to-centre perform 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 unit-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 movement variance by part, immediately alerting operators of blocked runs, which price money and time. ReconBlockage sensors work like stethoscopes, capturing and decoding sounds and alerting operators through a wi-fi app to buildup points that may in any other case plague optical sensors.
OutRun is an autonomous resolution that permits tractors to drag grain carts with out drivers throughout harvest. It’s a self-contained package that helps older tractor fashions and helps keep 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 subject.
“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.”
