Browse through the following for a sampling of “not new but neat” products that were recently showcased at the Fort Wayne Farm Show in Fort Wayne, Ind.

RWP-1935 Rock Windrower-Picker. This rock windrower-picker manufactured by Schulte is currently the largest available on the market. With working widths of 16 to 19 feet, it is sure to cover acres fast.

360 Rain. The 360 Rain by 360 Yield Center reimagines irrigation and manure application technology. This autonomous system is equipped with GPS RTK technology and can navigate any odd field shape. It follows a pattern that prevents the wheels from getting wet and causing soil compaction.

This system uses Y-drops to create a more efficient application, and it operates with wells that supply 200 gallons of water per minute — about half of what is required for other irrigation systems.

MASTER NAVIGATOR: The 360 Rain can navigate a wide variety of field shapes and sizes; simply put, it can go wherever a planter goes.

Unloading Auger Tippy Spout. Lankota’s LANTS22478 unloading auger tippy spout allows for more control when dumping grain from the combine. The spout automatically turns down when unloading begins. The operator can then override the spout with a foot pedal in the cab to change the spout’s angle.

This spout kit currently fits only the 17-inch John Deere high unload rate augers, but there are plans for more kits to fit a wider variety of augers. The tippy spout is available for $3,950.

EFFICIENT UNLOAD: Lankota’s tippy spout takes the hassle out of unloading the combine by providing a foot pedal in the cab for controlling the spout angle.

Cornado Grain Spreader. A farmer-invented product, the Cornado Grain Spreader helps ensure a more even spread of fines in the bin. This allows for a more level bin and better aeration.

The Cornado is designed so a temperature cable can be hung from the center of the bin and a Stir-Ator mount can be added. It can also be greased and adjusted from the top of the bin.

EXPERT INVENTED: The Cornado was invented by an expert: a farmer who was frustrated with grain spreaders not living up to their job.
