Optionally, can be delivered with integrated front PTO operated by control panel for unparalleled precision.



Cabin

Color display with easy to understand icons, touch screen technology. Operator's seat is equipped with a cushion of air and can opt for heated seats. Console control arm chair offers comfort and a farmer. The cabin has panoramic views and a second passenger seat.

Optionally, the tractor cab can be equipped with heated windshield and mirrors in order to provide the best possible visibility, no matter how harsh the weather is working.



Maintenance costs

V-Tronic transmission automatically reduces engine speed to 1,800 rpm at 65 km / hour. Flexibility transmission reduces engine speed while speed remains constant. Oil pump oil pump only when needed, making power and fuel economy.

Intervals between revisions are 500 hours to 1000 hours engine and transmission, thus reducing maintenance costs.



INNOVATIONS

• only tractor in the world with full suspension front / rear;
• first tractor color touch screen;
• only tractor which can reach speeds up to 80 km / h, has continuously variable transmission (CVT) without speed: fuel consumption is reduced, allowing the engine to always operate efficiently;
• ABS braking system for maximum security is a necessity due to high speeds that can develop JCB Fastrac tractor.

British weekly Farmers Weekly has to work seven tractors of 100 hp to find strengths and weaknesses of each.

Thus, Case-IH CS 105 Pro: 101 HP (Make: St. Valentin, Austria), Deutz-Fahr Agrofarm 430: 109 hp (Treviglio, Italy), Fendt 310 Vario: 100 hp (Marktoberdorf, Germany), John Deere 5100R : 101 hp (Mannheim, Germany), Massey Ferguson 5445: 95 hp (Beauvais, France), New Holland: 106 hp (Jesi, Italy) and Valtra N92: 101 hp (Suolahti, Finland) were tested to work - plowing, harrowing, towing and loading, with the most famous European Institute of tractors DLG test, which measured engine power, torque, fuel consumption and noise power lifting.

At the request of the organizers, builders have sent all tractors equipped with one charger choice but to evaluate performance while operating tractors, not the charger. She missed the competition Claas, the manufacturer failed to send Axos model with Perkins engine tests and the new Arion 400 was not yet available.

To assess the real capabilities of the seven tractors were tested also cabins, seeking spaciousness, visibility and use of storage space inside the cabin were compared gearboxes on ease of handling, smoothness and responsiveness and number of steps and were checked thoroughly all orders. Finally, tested the brakes and ease of maintenance.

Results

Net winner was Fendt 310 Vario, which came first performance tests, functionality, comfort and consumption, but also ... price (the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive of the tractors tested was 27,000 euros) 4-cylinder Deutz engine which drives the moving average deployed over the other, while transmission was designated "could not be better for class. "

Case-IH CS 105 Pro received the highest score for ergonomics, quality construction and overall performance and good scores on all tests were obtained and JD 5100R and MF 5445.

So if you want a powerful tractor with good performance and are willing to spend a little more fuel, MF 5445 is a very attractive choice. If the main criterion is value for money, Deutz-Fahr and New Holland are undisputed competitors, and if you're looking for a good strong tractor at all, it is worth to consider the Valtra N92 model.

Powerfarm new DT 100 was designed to comply with new pollution standards Tier 3 turbocharged Perkins' TIER3 "aspirated 4-cylinder, with a clean and modern design. Range is between 74, 83, 92.5 and 102 hp (ISO)



These engines are equipped with an advanced fuel injection, which optimizes the air-fuel mixture, thereby improving combustion and engine efficiency, so we have more horsepower and more torque with lower operating costs.

Perkins engine is quiet, low emissions and strong torque.
Modular transmission is equipped with a clutch and reverse control and is available in two versions:

• Mechanical (SPEED FOUR)
• Electro (POWER FOUR).

POWER SHUTTLE transmission includes a hydraulic reversing edge and a hydraulic splitter (POWER FOUR + 20% increased).

Hydraulic pump offers a total capacity of 82 l / min. Three point system provides a lifting capacity of 3,750 kg. The system has up to four valves, two joystick-controlled loaders and two controlled by levers located near the driver's seat.

Landini family style bonnet line store and visibility all around the cabin offered side doors, full glass rear pillar attached, provides a very good peripheral vision, handling and driving pleasure.

Performance are enhanced comfort tractor cab with controls logically-arranged and air conditioning system installed in the cabin ceiling. Height adjustable seat and arched profile of the bonnet ensures perfect visibility during handling. The instrument panel features analog tools that allow quick and easy reading of information.

The series includes four versions of tractors equipped with different engine designs hinged hood allows easy access to the engine for maintenance and routine service and can choose between five types of transmission, two cab styles for maximum versatility, a comfort and increased productivity.

Two different cabins heading muffler, which is located on the right side of the cab pillar to version Top Comfort and above the hood and suspension comfort version to version Top Comfort.

Sarek National Park is one of the most spectacular mountain attractions in Scandinavia. Along with several other European reserve was established among the first in Europe in the first decade of the twentieth century.

Here in northern Sweden over an area of ​​2000 square kilometers, natural phenomena follow their unhindered by human presence, the same cycles for millions of years. Sarek National Park includes six mountain peaks above 2000 m, 13 each exist in Sweden. The highest Sarektjakka called, and reaches 2089 m

Would have to mention the presence of about 100 glaciers formed during the last ice age, which although not meet all international standards, they are still unique in the country.

Unlike other provinces in the region that lies, lakes or wetlands reserve have some quite large, which ensures sharp biodiversity. So far identified 380 species of vascular plants, 182 species of vertebrates, 24 species of mammals, 142 species of birds, and several species of reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Of these some plants and animals, especially large carnivores (wolf, lynx) are on the list of endangered species in Sweden. The greatest diversity of birds are found in the delta area and around Lake Parekjaure Laitaure.




Residents only "permanent" of the park are people belonging to indigenous peoples, the Sami. To enable them to survive and not forced to leave their native places, restrictions in the park from them were and are minimal. Not the same is true for foreigners, all activities are able to affect animals (hunting, fishing, etc.) is strictly prohibited.

When arriving at the park, many expectations were not consistent with reality. He proceeds to mountain peaks in Sarek National Park became - as signals even administrators objective - a must do for tourists as stain. Certainly, however, very few receive training and equipment necessary to direct clashes with wilderness.

Sarek National Park're alone. Marked routes and any accommodation possibilities missing and there are only two bridges in the whole park. If you dare to visit yet, it's good to know that there is an hour, an hour and a half from the town Jokkmokk, depending on the route taken.

Can reach the tallest trees on Earth. Can produce timber, creates jobs, keeps water clean and provides shelter for many species. If we leave them.

On a clean Californian coast trees, shrubs full of sequoia (called here redwood pine), mature oak-toxic, Mike Fay made a misstep, began to slip and felt as if stabbed in his left leg. After hundreds of miles in sandals came through the bushes, was used to such mistreatment of its semicentenarelor feet. But that was the mother of all chips.

She rebounded from a bone was stuck in a tendon and refuse to leave. Finally, the expedition's teammate, Lindsey Holm, grabbed splinter with a pair of pliers and a few sudden jerks, and plucked it. "And the other mountains could be heard yelling - says Fay. It was one of the most painful experiences I have lived.

"And it means something when he says a man who was wounded 16 times the elephants once. He bandaged the wound, took his back pack and, as he did in the last three months went on. After three decades it has helped save African forests, Mike Fay, a biologist at the Wildlife Conservation Society and a member of Explorerin-residence program of the National Geographic Society, has now sequoia blood.

His obsession for this tree, symbol of America, began several years ago, after finishing Megatransect - livingstoniana his expedition to explore the largest jungle is left intact in Africa. One day while I was driving along the north coast of California, found itself on the part of young trees and forests deforested long and thin.

On another occasion, he noticed a piece of 1.8 m from an old sequoia logs exposed to a reserve. On a label near the center reddish wrote: "1492 Columbus". "They put thoughts especially the last 8 inches from the edge - says Fay. There wrote "The Gold Rush, 1849". And I realized that equivalent to 8 inches during the life of that tree, near a forest lichidaseram 2,000 years. "

In the fall of 2007, he decided to see for himself how it was exploited in the past and currently treated as the highest forest in the long Pamant.Parcurgand legendary throughout California from Big Sur to beyond the border Oregon, wanted to know if there is a way to enhance both timber production, and numerous ecological and social benefits provided by forests left standing.

If they could do that in redwood forest - believe it - it could be anywhere on the planet where forests are races for short-term gains.

To obtain an adequate quality planting material, in terms of economic efficiency, both in terms of material for fruit growing sector and the planning for green or forest plantations, nurseries designed runs a series of crop maintenance


An important, in terms of consumption of labor, technologies working in nurseries have work to remove seedlings, transplanting it to or delivery to planting. In usual practice, removing seedlings can be "bare-root" or "root-soil bale".

Advantages seedlings with bale removal of soil from the root, using appropriate technical means, are undeniable:

- Extension of transplantation;
- Roots remain in good condition;
- Transplanting process is much easier shaft supported;
- Increasing the number of plants removed in an hour.

Explain technical equipment 500 (photo 1) is intended extracting dendro-horticultural seedlings, ornamental or fruit, medium-sized and large bale earth with the roots of nursery and / or plantation forestry for transplantation green areas, plantations and / or training of nursery fields.

Also, the machine can be used to dig holes where they are expected to undertake transplanting or planting material extracted bale earth or material with bare root (without bale).



Active enforcement operation is performed by its own hydraulic machine operated from the tractor unit.



Technical characteristics explain 500

The main technical characteristics of the equipment are:

• type of equipment: worn behind the tractor
• the aggregate tractor power: 45-65 hp
• Drive way: hydraulic, with its own installation
• number of active organs (dig): 3
• bale shape made: tapered
• Bale dimensions: diam. Top / diam. Lower / height: 500/320/500 mm
• bale lifting cylinder stroke: 1000 mm
• Maximum lifting height bale from the ground: 200 mm
• overall dimensions: length / width / height-mounted machine: 1675/1350/2850 mm machine weight: 700 kg

Work phases




Machine working process includes the following phases:

Phase I. In screeds (4) in the raised position, the sliding body (2) near the ground and dig support arms (3) remote machine by operating the tractor is positioned near the plant to be extracted, so that the three dig be at equal distance from the stem.

Phase II. Screeds approach by operating plant side cylinder (11) and descending order sliding body (2), while acting cylinder (10), until the tractor rests on supports screeds.

Phase III. Place screeds (4) in the soil by acting cylinders (9) successively from central hoe, making cutting roots and cut the side of the bale to the ground.

Phase IV. By actuating cylinder (10) to control sliding lifting body (2) with all the bits, so running above ground mining and lifting bale of earth with plants. Vertical root cutting and trimming the bottom of the earth is made by plucking.

Phase V. The removal side with roller bits (11) is released bale of land, which can be deposited on the ground in baskets for local handling and packaging and loading for transport.

Fitting (coupling) on ​​(to) U 445 DT tractor equipment explains 500, to form the unit of work is done with relative ease for performing this operation is required two operators. Control devices will transmit hydraulic controls and working bodies or different subsets hydraulically operating properly.

The device has a working capacity of about 108 plants per shift, which depends largely on the ability to achieve Mecanizatorul positioning maneuvers plants working unit to be extracted. Operational reliability coefficient is 0.95 percent and fuel consumption to 100 plant extracts is about 35 liters.

Production losses caused by certain pathogens of sunflower can reach up to 30-50% and in some cases may even lead to compromised culture. The level of damage depends on factors such as infection occurs when the intensity of the attack, tolerance hybrids grown or culture technology applied

Throughout the growing season, sunflowers can be attacked by various diseases, especially fungal infections leading to staining and necrosis of leaves (Alternaria spp, Septoria helianthi) or stem rot (Phomopsis helianthi, Phoma maccdonaldii, Sclerotium bataticola) and calatidiilor (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Botrytis cinerea). It is necessary to combat these pathogens of sunflower vegetation by chemical treatments.

The main diseases of sunflower

In the following we describe the main diseases affecting sunflower culture and factors contributing to the initiation and evolution of attack.

• brown staining is caused by strains of the pathogen Phomopsis helianthi and can cause significant damage (10-50%), depending on when infection occurs. After drying premature leaf / plant and breaking their negative influence pathogen manifests itself on the MMB and oil content in seeds.

• Septoria spp Alternaria are pathogenic helianthi with great destructive potential in terms of years of heavy rainfall, high humidity air and moderate temperatures average. The attack is manifested by staining and foliar necrosis, basal leaves from floors and sometimes progressing to complete defoliation, premature plant. This negatively influences the formation and filling achenes.

• Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogen known by his polyphagia particularly large, but also many forms of attack on sunflower plants. You can install early stage floral button until the maturity stage of calatidiilor. Infections is marked by the presence of soft-colored spots, usually on the surface calatidiului, but sometimes on the stem or floral button.

If the weather is wet, the surface patch can see the mushroom mycelium white felt. Evolving, infection may include all or a portion of it calatidiul. The fungus produces sclerotia (of different shapes and sizes) calatidiului inside and on its surface as a network around the seed.

Calatidiilor infection with this fungus is caused by spores (ascospori) formed after germination of sclerotia are carpogenic type soil. This type of germination of sclerotia is induced under certain conditions of temperature and humidity. Thus, air temperatures of 20-25 ° C, 15-18 ° C soil and high humidity at ground level are optimal for sexual germination of the fungus.

Subsequently, the development of new infections is subject to temperature and humidity, so that above 25 ° C and the presence of water on calatidii provide optimal conditions for spore germination.



Rainy summers disease

• gray mold Botrytis cinerea produces the calatidiilor and attacks from the late phase of flowering to physiological maturity stage. Symptoms consist of mold stains on calatidiu, this consistency getting soft tissues. Stains will be covered with gray spray (fungus spores), which will ensure the spread of infection to healthy plants.

First of pathogen contamination occurring in the flower tube, spore germination is favored by the presence of pollen. Subsequent infection of other tissues include calatidiului, infecting including seed.

Rainy summers is gray mold disease, infection periods by setting up high humidity and low temperatures moderate. Transmission of disease from one year to another is through infected plant debris and seed.



Phenological stage optimal treatment

For high efficiency is important in preventing the attack phase where chemical interferes with treatment.

To limit helianthi Phomopsis attack, research has shown that very important is the application of preventive chemical treatments before symptoms appear on the leaves. Phenological stage of the plant is the first treatment for 6-8 pairs of leaves at this stage it is possible to apply terrestrial worn tractor spraying machines.

In light of changing environmental conditions and processes of infection of the crop, a second treatment is recommended in the early stage of flowering, at the first ligulate flowers. At this stage, treatment is applied with air assets.

Plant protection products approved for use in our country include a number of fungicides with activity against pathogens Phomopsis helianthi and Alternaria spp namely: Acanto Plus (0.6 L / ha), Amistar Extra 280 SC (0.75 l / ha), Impact 125 SC (1.5 l / ha), Impact 25 SC (0.75 l / ha), Mirage 45 EC (1.0 l / ha), Painter (0.5 l / ha), Rovral 500 SC ( 1.0 l / ha), Sphere 535 SC (0.4 l / ha) Tanos 50 WG (0.4 kg / ha), Topsin 70 PU (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 70 WG (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 500 SC (1.4 kg / ha).

Chemical control of white mold and gray through vegetation treatments have been studied by many researchers and it was found that optimal phenological phases of their application to reduce the impact on production rots in calatidiu are: first treatment at the beginning of flowering and the second at 10-15 days after the end of flowering. When applying only a single treatment, the warning is the capital attack frequency is above 3%.

To combat using one of the following fungicides: Acanto Plus (0.6 L / ha), Amistar Extra 280 SC (0.75 l / ha), Eyetak 450 (1.0 l / ha), Impact 125 SC (1, 5 l / ha), Impact 25 SC (0.75 l / ha), Mirage 45 EC (1.0 l / ha), Painter (0.5 l / ha), Prosaro 250EC (0.75 l / ha) , Rovral 500 SC (1.0 l / ha), Sphere 535 SC (0.4 l / ha), Tanos 50WG (0.4 kg / ha), Topsin 70 PU (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 70 WG (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 500 SC (1.4 kg / ha).

Option to apply 1, 2 or 3 treatments must take into account vegetation suitability or expected climatic conditions for pathogen development, the stage of infection in each culture, and the degree of resistance to these pathogens of cultivated hybrid.

Claas Axos is a medium tractor with a power range between 74 and 100 hp, which replaces the previous model of tractor Claas Celtis.

Axos appeared for the whole range of Claas tractors produced to the highest German standards. Comparing them with the previous range of tractors Celtis, Ares, Atles, wide Axos, Arion, Axion is one hundred to one hundred German technology, without any of the previous elements of Renault.

Axos is produced in four models: Axos 310, 320, 330 and 340, with three equipment versions for each model, or version C-inverting synchronous CL-revershift version, version CX-revershift and twinshift.

 Claas Tractor receive a Perkins engine of 4,400 cc origin, falling within Tier III emission standards. Of course, no comfort Mecanizatorul was not neglected. Thus, the cabin is large, spacious, good visibility in the field.

The tractor can be ordered in three ways: without cabin to cabin and cabin comfort range.

Agricultural tractor is a heavy equipment used in agriculture but also in forestry and rural areas. Form of four-wheel tractors is the same but what makes them different from each other are depending on usage, their shape and capacity.

The beginnings of agricultural tractors

History of agricultural tractors starting with the industrial revolution in 1882. Then came the first agricultural tractor steam. In 1892, he appeared first model gasoline (Froelich, USA). With the evolution of technology developed and heavy machinery such crawler tractor appeared in 1904 designed by Benjamin Holt.

Tractors in the world

In 2002 this industry is very developed reaching a total of 26.7 million tractors operating in the world. The first being the United States with 4.8 million tractors, France Locle sintuandu on the 7 th.
Today, agricultural tractors are making so as to ensure driver safety, if the tractor swings. Their use is diverse in places like gardens, highways, land ...

Major manufacturers of agricultural tractors

Leading manufacturers of agricultural tractors today are: JCB, New Holland, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Case IH, Caterpillar and many others.
John Deere was the first manufacturer of agricultural machinery offers a wide range of garden equipment as well as construction and forestry equipment.
Case IH tractors benefit from the latest technologies that enable customers to maintain productivity and efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

JCB is a tractor manufacturer who just finds a response in the Romanian market. At a closer look, however, their logo is easily recognizable one. There are almost no road rehabilitation work in the country, which is not involved some lifting and excavating equipment manufactured by JCB. Successful British company in the construction machinery managed to move into agriculture with tractors between 130 and 270 hp. Their power segment, are considered some of the very best. True, the price is as reputation.

Recently, compressed JCB Fastrac 3000 Series, Standard and Plus ranges, in one unique number, called Xtra. The two models of the new series, 3200 (190CP) and 3230 (220CP) received all top features of previous models, and even something extra.

A tractor sports a British sobriety
In Romania, the importer is VA Intertrading Austria JCB Ltd, a group to which it belongs and NHR Agropartners Ltd New Holland dealers and Steyer, but a grain trading company.
Valentin Kiraly, JCB sales charge, admits frankly: "It's an expensive tractor market. But it is very reliable. In fact, English is a tractor built in a factory where quality counts workers. "
Fastrac 3000 is a 4-wheel tractor equal, driving, directional, making it easy to handle in all kinds of tight places. 's History starts in 1991 when it was painted red. Then, in later years, switched to yellow and gained a contemporary design. The advantage of the 4 wheels is equal, in explanation manufacturer, excellent speed that can tackle road: up to 85 km / hour, which makes him look like a sports car along with any other tractor.
Fastrac models have disc brakes and ABS system. At higher speeds, it makes it noticeably more stable as a conventional tractor with wheels of different sizes on drums and brake system.

And traction is evenly distributed, 50% front and 50% rear. "Unlike a conventional tractor with a distribution of 30% front and 70% rear tread Fastrac perfectly equal to all wheels. Equal footprint helps machine stability, and it does not skid. "
Suspension system is fully electronically controlled and automatically adjusts the balance to be perfect.
"If we put behind a 3000 Fastrac tractor plug, he will leave behind. But suspension system will recalibrate and will return to its normal position tractor, "says Valentin Kiraly. This special suspension is standard on the top series such as JCB Fastrac 7000. This year has become a standard for 3000.

All models of tractors built by JCB are powered by Cummins engines. 3000 series has a "heart" model QSB6.7, Tier 3, common-rail, 6 cylinder, 6.7 liter.
For Fastrac 3200, the engine is calibrated to develop 195 hp and 220 hp for 3230 reached at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm. The fuel tank has a capacity of 350 liters and 120 liter hydraulic tank.
"Cummins engines are among the best engines in the world, consider Kiraly. Engines are simple and do not require an engineer so you can fix it. There are many simple operations that can be performed directly on the farm if they are to urge all necessary tools. "Engine needs an oil change every 500 hours, and an overhaul at 5,000 hours.
Named P-Tronic, Powershift transmission type is specially developed for these tractors and motor mounted on them. There are 3 modes of transmission, to squeeze the optimal performance: Drive road-going, Autoshift, to change automatic and powershift steps, allowing tractor driver full manual control. The clutch is guaranteed for 6,000 hours of operation.

"I consider him a Rolls Royce of tractors," says Kiraly. "The JCB factory in Staffordshire, UK, put more emphasis on quality and less on developing people through building robots.
To check the accuracy of execution, a tractor 10 is disassembled and analyzed using high-precision scanners. Any assembly error is then checked the entire production line. It is something that I think only the largest car manufacturers can afford to do it.
JCB wants to make a tractor built with soul, with attention to every element, from design to spectacular engine, transmission, suspension, hydraulic or comfort in the cabin. "

It can be a good deal for contracts with the municipality
Fastrac 3000 Xtra is positioned as a tractor farms 700 to 800 acres high culture. It also is a great tractor for medium and large livestock farms that need a versatile model. "The livestock sell better. JCB is a well known name because of wheel loader, "Kiraly says proudly. "I would say as a loader in livestock sells itself."

But design Fastrac 3000 is a special thought to be multifunctional. It can be used all year, from plowing, harvesting and transport to winter works for the municipality. "It's a small tractor selling western airports. Can deszapezi, can tow a plane on the runway, where things need a high speed tractor, "said Representative VA Intertrading Austria. "It's a versatile tractor. Central Cab allows easily become a head-tractor and a truck carrying a trailer. As well can be equipped with a snow blade and salt spreaders. On public roads, the speed and stability of large wheels on equal distances allow to travel twice as fast as conventional tractors. In Europe, many farmers choose JCB municipality to provide services during the winter. Even his color, yellow to orange was chosen to be eligible for government contracts. In Romania, contracts between farmers and mayors go harder, admits Karoly. So far, we know only three farmers who were able to conclude JCB service contracts, Arad, Botosani and Giurgiu. "

JCB dealers, a small team but with strong support
In Romania, JCB machines dedicated team of vendors has only 4 people. Seem few, but they are well supported by logistics and service Agropartners NHR.
"We have a small but well planned. Our people go to England every time something new, to specialize. And so far, the service, we had only minor problems such as a faulty sensor. "
Understanding of the advantages of a partner, Kiraly remembers "show-room use NHR sites to expose JCB tractors, their use and storage of spare parts but mostly we guarantee their service team extremely large across the country. This can be a guarantee of seriousness for any farmer. "

(Not Fastrac 3000 Xtra was launched late last year in the presence of a group of journalists from all over Europe agrarians. Producer asked each one representative from each country. Choosing our publication as to attend the event, honors us. )

7R Series consists of five new models, characterized by high performance and reliability, with powers between 200 and 280 hp, up to a maximum of 310 hp with Intelligent Power Management (IPM). Basically, this system increases engine power by 30 hp only when needed.
"The entire series was rebuilt 7R based. Everything is new concept, the engine and cabin cooling system and hydraulic system. But inherits from the old 7030 series reliability and experience of the market "- said George Quality (pictured), specialist (manager) to IPSO Agriculture product, machinery and equipment importer of JD.
New equipment
As explained received CommandView II cab is larger, more spacious, soundproofed and have color touch screen monitors, air conditioning and suspension for increased operator comfort. PowerTech PSX engines with a capacity of 6.8 l and 9 l PowerTech PVC are new and meet pollution regulations Stage III D only works on simple diesel (DieselOnly solution), including biodiesel, without additional liquid, which reduces fuel price. The hydraulic system is improved, so that you can attach a pump 227 l / min, if they are large and heavy towed equipment that require high flow of oil. Has optional front hook lifting force of up to 5,200 kg and lift big race.
"The tractor comes with satellite guidance system and SF1 differential correction signal based. Also enjoy JK Link telemetry system that allows the farmer to follow at home, on your computer, where the cars, but also data about the performance, fuel economy, efficiency or productivity charts. The system can remote technical diagnosis in order to repair. Thus, intervention service is done in a much shorter time "- said the expert from IPSO.
Other items
George told us the quality that I SKB fuel tank has more capacity than previous models. The clutch is provided with cooling oil. The main chassis was designed for high power.

Soon, animal husbandry activities could be much more efficient by applying the principles of a new discovery of genetics - nutrigenomics

In recent years, the science of genetics were new fields of knowledge development process of living beings. First took shape and then they said the general laws or rules by which characters are inherited from parents to offspring.

Knowledge gained were a new science called genetics. It was developed so that we know not only what is the genetic material that lists all encoded morphological, physiological and psychological characteristics of a living being, but also that it is structured and how it works he chose for them to be accomplish during development from conception to death.

At this amazing process involved a lot of types of proteins that are entered, encoded in the structure of hereditary material (DNA and RNA from higher beings to viruses). Each sector of the hereditary material in which it appears the structure of a particular type of protein is called gene.

In light of this knowledge, it is now widely accepted that if a gene is normally made, the character of the "answer" it will develop normally. But if it is damaged (has a mutation), whether morphological, physiological, or psychological harm that it causes will develop abnormally.

Here, however, that in recent years, research has shown that there are cases where, although the gene is normally made it work abnormally or even blocked by some "brakes" that oppose its normal operation. Consequently, the character that leads to abnormal development will occur. Such a phenomenon is said to be one epigenetic and science that I called epigenetic studies.



Mutations could be corrected by diet

Currently, we have accumulated more and more knowledge provide evidence that some genes start up and "factory" protein responsible not only control factors outside or inside the cell (as it was known until now), but also in order to come to the tissues of food nutrients (amino acids, fatty acids, simple sugars, minerals, vitamins).

Thus, insufficient or excessive nutrients influence the functioning of the individual tissues or organs, causing disease or inconsistent with development which includes family characteristics. He was born as a new field of genetics, called nutrigenomic.

Geneticists who study this area of ​​activitade go on two lines of research. One is nutrigenomics, which aims to discern how a nutrient causes the arrival of a gene or influences and even stops activity, and the other is nutrigenetica, which aims to discover the causes of differences in response to specific nutrients the body human or animal individuals who already possess certain mutations in genes involved in the creation and sale of substances in cells.

They hope that, when they gain more knowledge in this field, doctors or nutritionists can interfere with certain diet to prevent certain metabolic diseases in humans or to manipulate development and functioning more intense and rapid of tissues to farm animals.

This means that if we know that an individual possesses a specific mutation that does not allow the cells to synthesize a particular protein involved in the decomposition of a nutrient or other substance in its transformation, its failing in the diet will prevent the manifestation of that phenomenon. Has resulted in some facts.



Preventable diseases

We know that some children are born with a mutant gene that makes it impossible synthesis of protein-enzyme involved in the metabolism of an amino acid (phenylalanine) in food reaching the cells. As a result, the child will be seriously affected functional. But if he will receive a lifetime diet with foods that do not contain the amino acid phenylalanine, he will develop normally.

An individual who has a mutation in the gene that helps regulate blood absorption from the intestine into the food of vegetable sterols (like cholesterol in structure) will develop severe atherosclerosis at a young age. A diet containing foods with a low in such fats will help maintain a normal state of cholesterol in the blood and thus avoid early ateroscerozei.

Another example that helps us understand nutrigenomicii point is this discovery. Among the genes that contribute to fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity of cells called SREBP-1c is one that can be caused to come into operation by administering a high content of fructose.

If such a mutant gene is functional, it will increase insulin resistance and therefore installation type 2 diabetes. The remedy in this case would be to avoid excessive consumption of fructose.



Food must be adapted to each individual genotype

Also, some cardiovascular diseases, even cancer, may be caused by an improper diet that has individual genetics. People with a high concentration of fat in the blood (hyperlipidaemia) have higher risks to atherosclerosis. If, however, undergo treatment with specific drugs (statins) accompanied by proper diet, they react differently to each other.

Geneticists have established that the diversity of reaction is owed possession of different variants of genes involved in fat metabolism. Knowledge of these aspects for each individual could contribute to improving the management of differentiated treatment for drug or diet that meets its genotype.

Researchers have found that red meat is roasted at high temperatures forming so-called heterocyclic aromatic amines which, when activated by acetylation, may interfere with DNA, causing colon cancer. However, this phenomenon can happen to people who have a particular variant - the three possible - a gene involved in the activation of heterocyclic aromatic amines.

All the examples described here lead us to believe that soon, people will make special DNA analysis, and genotype that you have, adopt a specific diet and medication doctor may apply a customized each individual.

I am sure that such conduct will be taken soon, and the animal husbandry and veterinary in order to make their activities more profitable and efficient.

It is estimated that by 2014, the global market for agricultural equipment will grow by 4.5% per year, reaching 123 billion dollars, according to a new report released in early august of Freedonia



Market development is accelerating due to mechanization of the agricultural sector in developing countries, especially in densely populated regions such as China and India. Agriculture in these countries is still inefficient mechanical, compared with developed countries.

Moreover, robust economic growth in both countries can sustain such growth, especially that the consumption of agricultural products per capita is growing.

Apart from China and India and other developing nations with huge agricultural potential, such as Brazil, Indonesia, Russia and Thailand recorded the highest growth of the agricultural sector, following the mechanization of agriculture and increase farmers' incomes.

Agricultural machinery market in Western Europe will grow easier, due to the expected reduction in EU budget post-2013 CAP change perspective, but also due to its number of inhabitants.

Both the United States and Western Europe will be negatively affected by the ongoing trend of trade liberalization and reducing protectionist measures such as national subsidies for farmers and tariffs on agricultural imports. Brazil and Russia are the main countries that will benefit from increased opportunities to export agricultural products.

HiTech new electronic reversing to move back and forth uniform is now available to Series A. This device - feature "traditional" Valtra tractors is considered the best on the market tractors


Smooth and precise linear oscillatory motion is a great advantage in situations where working with loader. The system includes also integrated handbrake board, which means safer and more comfortable operation.

Addition reversing new, new A Series tractors have two speed PTO, driven by a hydraulic multidisc clutch. PTO is operated through simple switches and hydraulic system provides easy switching without shocks. Control switches can be optionally placed on mudguards.



Valtra A 93 - As smoothly in both directions of travel

A new series tractors feature AGCO SISU POWER engine, 3.3 liter Common Rail. Fuel injection system helps reduce noise and fuel consumption. With the introduction of electronic engine management system EMS Series is available with cruise control (cruise control).

To operate the front upper link and transmission was developed a number of new automated features. Electronic clutch control front, called the Self, is very accurate and switches to raise / lower link balls are on both rear mudguard.

The unique feature of Valtra tractors, Autotraction and drive system are ideal for performing tasks requiring repeated stops and starts. The list of options is also included informant board Proline, existing series so far only larger.

Driver comfort has been raised to a whole new level. The cabin was also brought in was high-tech and internal noise level was further reduced.

Suspended pedals, including electronically actuated clutch and accelerator pedals are easy to use, even with heavy boots up. Access to the cabin is made easier because wider scale.

Adjusting the steering wheel and driver's seat was also improved. In addition, customers no longer need to specify that they want a walk skidder as redesigned cabin is much flatter at the bottom. For work done in forestry cabin can be equipped with gas pedal in the back and rear window specifically designed to facilitate access connections dealer.

A Series tractors equipped with reversing the direction (forward / reverse) are available as HiTech models.

More than a third of the total costs of agricultural machinery and equipment within a firm are allocated for soil and cultivation. The need to reduce costs is clearer than ever and efficient methods of tillage are increasingly sought by farmers



Amazon has expanded its range of equipment Cenius mulch. Now available versions of the series and new equipment fasteners Cenius three points, trailed Cenius-T option. The most important advantage is that the new models are now available in working widths of 3 m, 3.5 m and 4 m, and tractors are less required to lift, making it easy to carry.

Catching the tractor is via a cross is caught in the lower links of the tractor (Cat. III). The roller is rubber ring, which also uses the soil reinforcement. Lifting and lowering equipment for working depth control is done by hydraulic adjustment.

Also, the German manufacturer provides an additional option for those who want scalloped discs or discs for smooth leveling. Notched discs have a diameter of 460 mm, provide safe driving in all conditions and has the advantage of providing a more intense mixing, especially if a larger volume accumulation of organic compounds. Notched discs feature a special bearing maintenance.

3D knives feature flexible safety overload to 500 kg and dimensional deviation properties - ideal for extreme operating conditions.

Farmers, especially those with small and medium-sized farms are constantly in search of a universal tool with the widest range possible implementation. The solution can be found in the new Cenius cultivator from Amazone, which can be used for various purposes. Thanks versions with different specifications, Cenius can be used in almost any local conditions, from soil preparation to planting, to superficial processing to reduce water loss from the soil.

In mid-June in the Ehra-Lessinen military had launched the new generation of tractors ARION 500/600 from CLAAS. Arion Series 600 is the most successful range of Claas tractors firm, with more than 10,000 units sold



Starting this summer, Arion tractors series 500/600 is a new generation, with seven new models. This new generation, thanks to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) satisfies IIIB emission standards (Tier 4i) and brings many new technological îmbuntăţiri constructive and some like the big brother, AXION 900.

On special demonstration of the qualities of the new series of tractors ARION, I had a unique experience. It was an unusual start in several ways, but mostly because of how unconventional, different from the traditional press conference.

For nearly two weeks, were present on the site daily military base by a group of 25-30 journalists, divided into groups of four or five, have been rotating four workstations. Of these, only one of them I saw a theoretical overview of the differences between the old and new series of tractors Arion with two types of tractors in front.

In another workstation I was able to drive new ARION tractors with trailers loaded on a paved road and dirt road and the tractor alone, polygon to test drive shifting back and forth.

The most demanding workstation was that when I had the opportunity to drive the new ARION with machinery, land and loader. There I had the opportunity to test two types of terminal equipment cabin and CEBIS CIS and GPS systems and TELEMATICS PILOT.

Last post surprise prepared by the organizers, was driving an off-road route, inside the military base special trucks Mercedes-Benz Zetros 1833 and Unimog U5000 models, along with a tractor Arion 530.

I had the opportunity, during the day, effectively ARION series for several hours and in different conditions.



Engine and transmission efficiency

New series ARION 500/600, with seven models include power range between 140 and 184 hp (ECE R 120). New DPS engines used to improve fuel consumption and exhaust emissions with CLAAS POWER SYSTEMS (CPS) provides an optimal combination of components, developed in parallel with the transmission components.

Thus, improved engine performance and emissions, but developed a tractor as a whole, effective in daily activities and the intelligent use of power.

The engine is 4.5 liters per 500 series four-cylinder and 6.8-liter, six-cylinder, the 600 series technology with four valves per cylinder, common rail injection system, variable geometry turbo, TGV and intercooler. System "treatment" exhaust DPF is fully integrated and positioned under the hood, so that the driver's vision is not limited.

Due to low weight and extraordinary agility in operation, four-cylinder tractors 540-510 ARION series are particularly effective when used in low load operation, eg working with loader. Due to the new generation of engines, the new ARION 550, with a maximum power of 163 PS (ECE R 120) is ideal for working with tractor PTO or transport.

The new six-cylinder engine tractors stand out due to a high tensile strength, both in the field and in transport. The new top model, ARION 650, has a maximum power of 184 hp (ECE R 120).
HEXASHIFT transmission of the new ARION is distinguished by high levels of efficiency and many smart features that make this automatic transmission a leader in automatic gear changing comfort.

Transport, ARION four-speed and six-speed mechanical automatic change depending on load, which can be used without the clutch. Stages of change adapts to the load through changing system automatically Hexactiv.

Tractors fitted with systems: Revershift (slight shift electrohydraulic reverse the direction of travel), Speedshift (rapidly changing ranges depending on the load) and Speedmatching (automatic gear shift of stages depending on the load during change of C4 D2).

The high transmission efficiency was confirmed in tests HexaShift DLG (in 2009), where Arion 640 CEBIS had, in terms of fuel consumption and total value, added 3.6% to the average competitor . In the new series, broadcast HexaShift is available in three different versions, including the latest version of Transmission Super ECO 40 kmh at 1650 rpm, interesting mainly for transport. All models ARION 500/600 are equipped with a load sensing hydraulic system with an efficiency of 110 l / min.



Innovations borrowed from AXION 900

Some of the key innovations present in the ARION 500/600 come from the upper range of tractors AXION 900, launched at Agritechnica 2011 and elected "Car of 2012".

These innovations include electronic control VISTRONIC ventilation system, which allows precise adjustment of fan speed, so that the noise power requirements for cooling and, consequently, fuel consumption is greatly reduced. Because gas shock absorbers, radiators cooling unit can be opened quickly and easily for cleaning / changing. The air filter has been moved front, right in front of radiator package, making it very accessible.

The cabin offers generous space with excellent visibility all around, high efficiency, ergonomic, four-point suspension, adjustable steering column and CEBIS version (CEBIS - Electronic OnBoard CLAAS Information System) system multifunction armrest CEBIS terminal CMOTION and fully integrated.

As the above models, the cabin was located further forward and rear window was reconfigured to increase the driver's field of vision. In addition, specially equipped cabin was on the right side, with a door in one piece.

The trim CIS (CIS - CLAAS Information System), Arion is still available with mechanical control units. Function on / off power outlet has been added to CIS armrest and depth adjustment knob has been positioned further forward for easier operation.

Series tractors were prepared optionally Pilot GPS and CLAAS CLAAS TELEMATICS.
ARION has a new intuitive control panel lights and optimization (up to 14 working headlights and optional) that provides 360 ° visibility for the entire workday.

Accessories and equipment modes                                              

New models have CLAAS successful design with a long wheelbase, equal weight distribution on the front and back and a compact overall design. Weight of empty tractor is between 5.8 and 7.8 tonnes.

Thanks to the new design, the maximum allowable total weight up to 12 tons, both versions 40 km / h as well as versions with 50 km / h. For this reason, the new generation ARION - including the smallest model, ARION 530 - was equipped with a stronger rear axle as standard, which allows a higher maximum envelope (eg 710/60 R38).

The frame of the ARION is prefabricated semi-frame, in case you want to equip with hoisting system or loader. Semi-frame is mounted along the engine between the front axle and gearbox and absorbs the forces, but can be used as a coupling system.

Front suspension features that can be completely blocked for greater stability, for example when working with front loader. Optionally can be equipped with a new braking system active. This system come as standard on both models top (ARION 650 and 640).

Unlike competitive machines in the same horsepower range market, the new series tractors John Deere 6R have a wide range of different transport options

• AutoQuad Plus transmissions and PowerQuadPlus include 20 forward gears and 20 reversing in four speed ranges plus autopilot for applications requiring constant speed as slow speed of 250 m / h They feature a lock for parking, one-button shifter release of a new technology SoftShift shifting, clutch PermaClutch with long life and adjustable shift points unlimited.

AutoQuad Plus allows you to set shift points anywhere between 1700 and 2100 rpm, which is very important when the machine hits the ground hard plowing or when towing a machine downhill.

In addition, AutoQuad Plus transmission capacity of 40 km / h includes EcoShift system that reduces engine speed at high transport speeds. PowerQuadPlus release button transmissions and AutoQuad Plus allows easy gear changes, while driving without using the clutch pedal. SoftShift ensures smooth gear change, even when the tractor is loaded, automatically engaging the engine.



• AutoPowr. With a high mechanical power, AutoPowr transmission is designed for both field work and road transport operations. The operator can easily shift gears from 0 to 40 or 50 km / h using a single lever, and any speed in between. No need drive clutch to stop the tractor even.

You can type a specific speed and the transmission and the engine will work together to maintain balance tractor, responding automatically to changing load conditions. The new position PowerZero we hold the tractor at zero speed, so there will be no rolling back, even on slopes, regardless of load. AutoPowr tune the transmission and engine performance for economy and optimal productivity.

In short, the transmission AutoPowr means: Automatic transmission ratio, mechanical strength 100% at 4, 8, 20 and 40 km / h travel speed optimal efficiency both in the field and on the road.



Improved cabin comfort

Regardless of the hours spent in the cabin ComfortView, the operator will have greater efficiency and more comfort even during extended work due seat cushion air suspension that can be adjusted. Suspension seat has horizontal and dynamically adapts to the driver's weight.

A new semi-active hydraulic suspension cab (HSC Plus) improves ride comfort. Two semi-active dampers reduce movement while the cab, allowing the charge to start the engine and uneven ground surface. Sensors detect body movement, properly adjusting the oil shocks of the piston amortizoarului.

6R Series features front axle design with Triple Link Suspension system and Link (TLS). TLS Plus ensures both good traction and power ground up to 7% higher.

TLS Plus features: Self-balancing with a suspension travel of ± 50 mm automatic adjustment of axle sensitivity and the suspension, long attachment system with optimized performance for effective traction; synchronization upper link system sensors to compensate for the effect of loss of power in heavy traction.

TLS Plus uses additional brake discs mounted front axle. TLS Plus suspension front axle automatically adjusts to changing conditions attaching weight and thus be unloaded system allows operation with either heavy equipment attachments back and working with heavy front loader.



... and at night

During the agricultural campaign, plowing, sowing, harvesting may even require extended night shifts. At 6R series are available up to 10 lights, which provide 360 ​​° visibility, are integrated in the front, rear and sides of the hood: in addition to the six lights on the sideline and adjustable rear wing and six ground lights, spotlights and driving lights on the bonnet grille, tractors have eight optional Xenon lights on the hood (front and back), which provides full illumination at night. All lights are controlled from the CommandCenter display.



Other key features

Allows hydraulic pressure and flow balancing up to seven SCVs selective control valves. Standard hydraulic pump provides 114 l / min, while the 63 cc pump option allows food to 155 l / min.

Maximum system pressure - 200 bar - provides improved steering response even at low engine speeds. Available auxiliary tanks for oil, 27 or 55 l, have enough oil for high capacity applications of hydraulic system and two high capacity hydraulic filters are replaced every 1500 hours.
Clamping systems:

U.S. company John Deere manufactures a wide range of harvesters for the needs of each farmer. Investment in research and design combine harvester in lately were far superior to other manufacturers on the market




John Deere has invested mainly in axial flow combine, which is gaining more and more ground compared to combine classical type of "horse shields".

Of John Deere combine made include:

SERIES 1070 (types 1470 and 1570). Combine in this series are characterized by a hydraulic steering and improved in terms of performance over time, the electrical system is completely changed, as well as straw chopper and robust new type of carrier will face all season. They have been designed for greater reliability and durability.

SERIES W. combines in this series are powerful, easy to maintain, are efficient in terms of fuel consumption and are available for a wide range of crops and conditions. Deluxe cabin is spacious and grain hopper can be up to 11,000 l

High quality T SERIES made by John Deere machinery is demonstrated again by T combines the new series produced at its plant in Zweibrucken. The new tangential separation allows for unmatched performance, especially in high humidity or high culture. These combine harvesters are considered the most productive type \ \ "with Apricots \ \", making the transition to axial flow combine.

Due to the slow separation, reduce losses particularly difficult to harvest crops such as canola or large grain crops. Combine is equipped with serrated knife grinder series, for those who want to keep straw bale form and tangential threshing system provides quality straw with 15 percent better compared to other conventional combine. Large surface separation and sensitive churning material provides exceptional quality seeds harvested.

SERIES C. Even in heavy harvesting combines C Series provides excellent handling harvested material and high quality straw. These combine productivity is increased, leading to the possibility of harvesting from morning till late evening. They are equipped with multiple finger separation system can be easily transported by road are equipped with Hillmaster and are available with all leading facilities-Series combines \ \ "smart \ \".

SERIES S. The new range offers several models, variant having the most powerful engine currently a combined 625 hp (maximum assessment ECE R120). Other features include a new running a threshing rotor and high separation; return Abib reverser is via a sensor, automatically adjusting the angle of the fan blades, new cleaning system, new options for steering and transmission, new options high waste management performance for the widest headers; cabin with a new design, new control systems, display and electro for control and comfort, higher grain bins, faster download and a new design concept the senile John Deere company owned exclusively.

In addition, new intelligent telematics solutions used to improve the management and documentation, certifies that this type of combined represent the largest collection of technology development in the history of a hundred years the company John Deere, which is completely focused on small grain crop performance in Europe.



The new type of engine John Deere S-Series combines mounted

John Deere combines the new S series characterized by stage IIIB engines feature a cylinder capacity PowerTech PSX 9 or 13.5 liters. These diesel engines distribution system fuel pressure in the common rail (common rail HP-CR) are equipped with: two turbochargers in series with variable geometry, higher pulse pressure, four valves per cylinder to improve air flow , electronic control of engine injection system and exhaust gas recirculation EGR to reduce combustion temperature (combustion), thus reducing emissions.

John Deere diesel is the only solution that does not require urea as combining a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) with diesel particulate filter (DPF) reduces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter.

PowerTech PSX engine offers a combination of three characteristics: more power, increased discharge (discharge power reserve) and simultaneous adjustment of the engine to ensure the best features and engine power level when harvesting a crop load is .

This makes it easier to limit the harvesting combine capacity, especially when unloading while harvesting is useful. They generate much higher torque, as their speed drops under heavy load, high torque transmitted to the wheels, which makes them efficient and economical in terms of power consumption and provides constant need to a wide range of speeds.



Linkage to the S-Series combines

From the engine to the transmission robust "Driveshaft", each component is built for strength, simplicity and efficiency. Board diagnostic system finds faults quickly and inspection service or replacement parts can be made from any part of the machine. There are two transmissions available on the new S series combine, offering comfort and the highest quality control:

• Automatic transmission Prodrive showed good characteristics to transfer between two speed ranges. It offers a selection of speed. Just to set the first range of normal harvesting speeds and second gear range for faster field work or transport. Select any speed in any range using hydrostatic control lever on the console CommandTouch. Prodrive automatic transmission delivers up to 64 percent more torque at a sampling rate of 8 km / h for the power you need in difficult conditions.

• New project for John Deere transmission with 3 speeds Push Button Shift is available on smaller models and makes gear shifting easy. At startup, the operator selects the gear by pressing one of three buttons on the armrest, which allows the combine to harvest the desired speed, so do not waste precious time.

As with Prodrive, this transmission applies the parking brake automatically when hydro lever is pulled in neutral.

The optional Hillmaster recognize changes in slope and automatically balances the whole body of the combine by up to 15 percent to compensate for elevation without loss of performance. You get consistent performance on the field even on slopes with inclination up to 22 percent, thanks to the leveling of slopes Hillmaster with SlopeMaster system that maintains the leveling on slopes up to 7 percent.



Threshing system equipped with a new rotor with variable flow

S Series combines separation is done with a single tooth rotor and new type of high performance variable flow is designed specifically for high culture. The front of the rotor is larger, conical, significantly increasing capacity to harvest the increased surface processing culture.

With conical discharge back, it improves the quality of straw. Since in this case reduces rotor load and power consumption, saves fuel. Other important features of this rotor are the teeth (elements) is welded to the surface at the back of the new cone is fitted with discharge deflectors and rear beater is high performance.

Working principle: The accelerator power plants go threshing section. Notches on the threshing elements draw plants easier, allowing the rotor to provide a more efficient threshing. Blades propelling power plants threshing section to the separating section.

Elliptical design uses a drag-and-release principle for better performance in high humidity conditions. Plants are drawn conical surge from the back. Longer discharge grate under the beater sends every grain in the tank. Unloading pallets from the body spread more evenly input material for the shredder.

New series of John Deere combine S firm meets farmers and a new crop flow system, called "Tri-Sream". In this case, the front of the module consists of three parts supply. In front rotor flux accelerator prepares food plants as rotating module. Accelerator material is distributed food through a new three streams feeding process, the entire circumference of the rotor.



Cleaning system

The new series of combined and cleaning shoe is completely new, which leads to a significant performance optimization to the previous design. This is because the filter increased and new projections thereof, which is designed to direct air to the fan. The new design provides more capacity than the current S690 and comes as standard on all models S Series

The new type of shoe has a mesh grill and a piece larger. This "broad design" facilitates setting combine to achieve performance and reducing Pleva.
Another new active system that we find in this series is to return Pleva.



Premium cabin, the series S

New Cabin John Deere Premium Series S keeps operators alert, relaxed and helps to give maximum efficiency, while having an ergonomic design and logical operation of all control systems combine important.

With an area 30 percent larger cabin, there is a comfortable driver's seat is adjustable in four directions, including adjusting lumbar support for back exactly as required, allowing the operator to focus completely on the task that has done.

Premium cabin offers effortless control over all harvesting operations through CommandTouch armrest, GreenStar 3 CommandCenter or 2630 monitors the armrest, the corner monitors and dual tilt steering column.
