The SMARTControl is a fully customizable wireless system that allows producers to have total con- trol of all weighing and hydraulic systems from a hand held device in the tractor cab or in the field. The SMARTControl system links to load cells with a "smart box" mounted on the mixer or spreader. During the loading phase, the op- erator can use the SMARTControl to control real-time weight infor- mation based on the ration recipe programmed into the system. Dur- ing feedout, the SMARTControl manages all hydraulic functions, including the open and close of the discharge doors, belt activation and other processes. Cleanfix hydraulic cooling fans CLEANFIX® North America Ltd. announced the launch of its in- telligent new hydraulic cooling fans used in a wide range of agri- cultural, forestry, construction, waste and recycling equipment to prevent problems associated with overheating and inefficiency of the engine.
