BinManager moisture and temperature sensors

The BinManager uses digital moisture and temperature sensors arrayed every 4 ft. to monitor and control natural air and heat-supplemented drying and long-term storage. A 48-ft.-dia. bin typically is outfitted with six sensor cables, each with multiple sensors to detect moisture and temperature levels in the bin. These sensors, as well as temperature and humidity sensors in the fan plenum, and temperature and humidity sensors in an on-site weather station, feed into a bin-mounted controller.

The BinManager system includes a weather station that is attached to the bin.
CMC Bin Manager

The BinManager system monitors the moisture content and temperature of not just the grain itself, but also the outside air. This way the system automatically knows when to run drying fans, which will kick on only at optimal times. The use of the moisture cable technology allows farmers to supervise the moisture content of the grain without climbing up the exterior of the bin to probe the grain. In addition, BinManager allows a grower to manage grain from anywhere by logging in on the Internet. Visit: http://farmindustrynews.com/grain-handling/bins-brains
Great Plains Turbo Max 2400

The Turbo-Max from Great Plains is equipped with two coulter gangs like previous Turbo-Till models, but with 7.5 in. between each blade. It also has the ability to angle the gangs hydraulically from zero to six degrees, which offers more options to a vertical-till farmer for preparing seedbeds.
