RiteTrace
The enhanced RiteTrace identifies and tracks each load from point of harvest to place of storage. Recent enhancements have been added for growers who use crop carts and trans-loading in their operations.
Field and 3D bin (cellar) maps display crop data by field, bin, load, yield, truck, variety and even by temperature with optional sensors on the harvester. Bin maps link stored crop back to place of harvest for agronomic management. Reports and summaries provide an excellent overview of the harvest process.
RiteTrace provides traceability records for GAP documentation. Linked maps help communicate about product quality and farm practices with buyers and consumers.
RiteTrace builds on Greentronics’ RiteYield yield monitor. Both systems are available to run on displays from John Deere and Trimble, allowing users to view details in real time.

1872 Even Flow Bin
The new 600 cwt 1872 Even Flow Bin was designed with a 60-inch-wide high-capacity elevator and a wider 72-inch bottom belt. The machine is able to handle a higher product flow and is a perfect match for wide, high-capacity eliminators because of its ability to distribute product evenly over the whole width of the elevator. This reduces the number of potato layers, helping the eliminator clean and size better.
The Even Flow also has an adjustable discharge gate that enables the operator to control the handling effect of the machine. Close the gate to obtain an even discharge flow and break up soft clods; open the gate and the whole pile moves forward, reducing the effects of skinning and bruising. In addition, operation is simplified by the display of all belt speeds in feet per minute, allowing easy and precise adjustment.

Logan Trac-Pro 100 Telescopic Conveyor
Logan Trac-Pro 100 is the latest model of Logan telescopic conveyors. Built by Logan Farm Equipment, the design features maximum conveyor use end to end and side to side. The conveyor is structurally sound to handle the heaviest loads at full capacity for weight and speed. It is gentle but strong, efficient, user friendly and easy to move at higher speeds from location to location.
Standard features include taller and stronger formed sides, large diameter transport wheels, inline gearboxes, heavy-duty bearings, drive pulleys, and steerable tow axle. The center axle is height adjustable to add support when the conveyor is extended, and it flips up out of the way for transport. Options include variable-frequency drives with auto speed sensors, radio remote interlock, hydraulic drive and steering, and electrical cord reels.

Mayo Manufacturing
Mayo Evenflow
The Mayo Evenflow will handle a large volume of potatoes for growers’ harvest needs. For storage or off-the-field shipping, the proximity sensors will keep transitions close to avoid bruising. The wide intake and discharge belts provide high capacity handling.
The Mayo Evenflow is available in 600 cwt. and 1,000 cwt capacities or custom built to other sizes. The cleated intake belt reduces rollback. Options include mounted stingers.
WCCO Belting
Conveyor Belt
Those in the root vegetable business understand that having to stop trucks from offloading product due to a malfunctioning conveyor system is wasted time and money. That’s why WCCO Belting designed a conveyor belt with cross-rigid technology for effectively piling and storing harvested goods. WCCO’s cross-rigid belt not only has the necessary strength and longitudinal flexibility, but also increased rigidity in the transverse direction to prevent belt tracking issues and splice failures that occur during side-loading.
