Lindsay Corporation has developed two products built to improve efficiency and boost yields.
The new Zimmatic Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) has new software, a new controller and a larger 5.7-inch color touchscreen designed for quick set-up and easy-to-understand monitoring. The new VFD is fully integrated into the FieldNET remote telemetry platform, giving growers the ability to monitor and control it offsite.
The NFTrax 2.0 is an updated airless wheel assembly that will never go flat and keeps wheel ruts to a minimum, according to the company. Built with maximum flexibility, it has a heavy-duty vulcanized rubber belt with a steel cable core tensioned over 10 newly designed, winged drive points meant to apply even pressure across the entire belt surface. This forms a larger surface area to evenly distribute the machine’s weight, resulting in improved performance over varying terrain and field features, according to Lindsay.
The company also plans to make available an optional new tread pattern for NFTrax 2.0. With an aggressive, alternating tread, the Z-Tread is designed for areas where more traction is required such as slopes, low spots or areas with slick, clay-based soil.
