Yamaha acquires NZ’s Robotics Plus, boosting agricultural automation
New Zealand-based company Robotics Plus, a specialist in agricultural automation, has announced an agreement for it to be acquired by Yamaha Motor to form Yamaha Agriculture.
This is particularly true when working against the clock and not having enough time available for the weather to do its job. However, because of their weight, moving between jobs can be a little difficult.
Lemken, the plough specialist, is now introducing a new trailer for its VarioPack furrow press. This allows the even larger furrow presses, used with six-furrow or larger mounted and semi-mounted ploughs, to be easily transported by road.
The VarioPack trailer is suitable for double furrow presses with 70 or 90cm rings. It is coupled to the tractor via a cross shaft, has a transport width of 2.8m and is approved for speeds of up to 40 km/h – meaning presses can be quickly and easily transported to the paddock.
Switched hydraulically from its transport to the working position from the cab, the arms of the VarioPack can be adjusted vertically, laterally and in length. This allows the machine to be adapted to any conditions, ensuring reliable capture on slopes and to be run close to the plough to minimise side draft.
