Although meant for the growing biomass market, AGCO's combine/baler combination, showcased at the Florida farm machinery show AgConnect, is sure to spark the imagination of many (although it's not an entirely new idea - Aussie company Glenvar had something similar in 2001).
Designers have taken the Challenger 670B and 680B combines and fitted a modified delivery system that feeds material directly into a receiving chamber on the big square LB34B baler towed hydraulically behind.
Corn cobs and MOG (material other than grain) is then baled at high density at about 75% cob:25% MOG - ready for transport to ethanol plants. The material can also be used to feed livestock, apparently.
Anyway, have a watch.
