As winter sets in and equipment gets stored away after a productive harvest, machine inspections should be top of mind. While checking equipment for updates and repairs should be done routinely throughout the year, a proper post-season inspection from your local dealer can help you get a jump-start on the busy year ahead.
Keeping track of every last tractor in your fields can be a challenge — especially when an operator is using equipment outside of designated times and spaces. Fortunately, new AFS Connect features now allow producers to track vehicle movements, set geofence boundaries and implement machine curfews to ensure your equipment is used properly and efficiently.
At the end of a long harvest season, your equipment — and batteries — have been put to the test. Now that winter is on its way, it pays to properly store your batteries so you can avoid potential failures and start the planting season at peak efficiency come spring.
How can tillage prescriptions drive efficiency on the farm? To find out, our team of Case IH research agronomists took to the fields to test out AFS Soil Command™ tillage prescription technology and how it impacts field prep productivity. Read on to learn about their results — we think you’ll be impressed:
Growers know the effects that moisture has on their hay harvest all too well. Here’s how hay preservatives and proper storage techniques can help ensure your hay retains the same quality as when it was first cut:
Producers are increasingly turning to technology, data and precision solutions to optimize every aspect of their operation — and soil management is the final frontier. Taking the same variable rate approach many growers use for seed and fertilizer rates, AFS Soil Command™ tillage prescription technology allows operators to address a wide range of soil management…
Everyone knows harvest season is important. Less discussed, however, is the importance of harvest season safety. Championing safety this season can boost your productivity and lower your risk of potential personal injury, helping you through harvest on-schedule.
Nothing is worse than sitting in the cab with hay on the ground and watching a rain cloud come in. In your mind, you know you won’t be able to get it put up before the rain comes pouring in. But adding a new piece of equipment to your lineup could help.
Planting windows can be tight, but there are simple ways to bolster your efficiency before next spring. With new, easy-to-use technologies, you can rapidly make in-field adjustments that contribute to a more productive planting season. Growers are saying the best forward-thinking investments start with Precision Planting® solutions from Case IH — including vDrive® electric drive…
Do you have a pre-harvest combine maintenance checklist? If not, now is the time to start one. A great checklist should cover anything that has been overlooked or uninspected since last harvest: technology, fluids, filters, post-harvest maintenance routines and more.
A successful year in farming is dependent on many factors beyond your control — like good ol’ Mother Nature. That’s why, at Case IH, we focus on optimizing the factors you can control. One of the most important is your crop protection application and equipment performance.
