For 2012, CLAAS has introduced three new single rotor rakes and added an additional wider working model to its trailed twin rotor rake range.

Caterpillar Forest Products recently introduced the new Cat 568 Forest Machine (FM) that delivers more performance — while consuming less fuel — than the previous model.

From 2012, the CLAAS tractor family is set to be joined by an entirely new range. The new AXION 900 high-performance range of tractors, with four models from 280 to 400 hp, complements the already popular AXION 800 (180–260-hp) and XERION ranges (330–525-hp).
The first AXION 900 preproduction machines went into operation in early 2010. Since that time, the new tractor has been put through its paces in fields across Europe, in direct consultation with end users. Although the tractor is not yet available commercially, and is currently being given its final finishing touches, CLAAS nonetheless opted to unveil the preproduction model at SIMA.

Plasson, a leading manufacturer of poultry systems, recently launched Water on Demand (WOD) system designed to control and manage water pressure in all drinker lines installed at poultry houses, according to the birds’ changing demands during a 24-hour period and during the grow-out.
