Looking for a better way to manage water? PTx Trimble’s new WM-FieldForm digital tool is designed to help farmers control water movement into, out of and within fields for better efficiency and yield. The system leverages PTx Trimble’s Precision-IQ field application and implements.

“We’re excited to share new features, updated functionality, and even more importantly, to advance our water management technologies and make them more accessible for farmers,” says Andrew Sunderman, general manager of PTx Trimble.

Using WM-FieldForm, farmers can create topographic field surveys using high-precision RTK measurements for boundaries, interior points and calculations. Survey data can then be imported into PTx Trimble’s WM-Form design software to optimize field surface drainage. The system accounts for primary and cross slopes, prescribed orientation, and preferred grades for more complex field requirements. 

The software utilizes dirt-balancing algorithms to minimize topsoil disturbance and straightforward workflows that are easy to master. Find out more at ptxtrimble.com.

DeLaval develops brings
milking cluster solution to U.S.

DeLaval is bringing its Evanza Milking Cluster to the United States. The ergonomic and lightweight milking cluster delivers more milk and improves udder health. It can help farmers optimize milk production and contribute to greater resource efficiency while using less labor. 

“This is an exciting step on our innovation journey,” says Jeff Hahn, solution manager of milking systems at DeLaval. “This product demonstrates our commitment to continuing to drive progress in milk production and to providing dairy farmers with cutting-edge technology that can revolutionize their work.” 

Features of the Evanza include DeLaval’s Clover Cartridge, which improves milking performance, eliminates the need for twisted liners and increases lifetime wear. It also has a newly designed claw with reimagined TopFlow technology that can improve milking and udder health by keeping vacuum levels more stable. The design makes connections between claw and teat cup easier than ever for time-saving exchanges and easier handling.

“With Evanza, farmers can change all four cartridges in less than one minute, which reduces maintenance and service time by up to 58% with significant labor reductions and superior efficiency,” Hahn says. “Farmers who are using the Evanza Milking Cluster have seen milking times reduced by up to 7% with up to 9.3% higher milk flow.”

Material-handling bucket
from Danuser works in tight areas

Danuser announces the launch of its Mac Bucket, a versatile solution for material handling on farms. It’s designed to transport, mix and dispense a variety of materials, including concrete, wildlife feed, agricultural grains, gravel and asphalt.

The Mac Bucket features a 0.5-yard base capacity (13.5 cubic feet), which can be expanded to 0.75 yard, or 20 cubic feet, with an optional hopper extension. The size makes it ideal for tight conditions where larger equipment is not suitable. The bucket is equipped with a skid-steer quick-attach mount on both sides, allowing for discharge from the left or right side. Visit danuser.com for more information.
