WWW.POTATOGROWER.COM 23 BUYERS' GUIDE Advanced Farm Equipment, LLC • (877) 287-5711 • www.lenco-harvesters.com 72-inch Air-head Harvester AFE's computer-automated Lenco airhead now separates rocks from potatoes with maximum possible efficiency regardless of field conditions, and with less attention from the harvester operator. On-board sensors gather and relay critical data to the harvester's central computer, and airhead speed is adjusted constantly to maximize separation and minimize bruise. Your operator can now focus on other critical tasks, like loading potatoes into a moving truck. U.S. and Canadian potato farmers have reported 20 percent greater capacity with 0 to 2 percent bruise in very rocky conditions from the new 72- and 65-inch automated airhead harvesters. Advanced computer controls, remote programming updates, and IoT connection installed on the world's most durable frames mean a high-capacity Lenco harvester will operate at peak efficiency for decades. Apollo Tracked Windrower U.S. and Canadian potato farmers asked AFE to design and build a windrower that can keep up with the company's high- capacity automated airhead harvester. The Apollo six- and eight-row windrowers with tracks and Soil Savers are the answer to that request. Lenco Soil Savers are designed to dig 30 percent less soil and rocks than a conventional windrower, allowing for cleaner potatoes at greater ground speeds. Mid-mounted steerable tracks reduce hitch weight dramatically, and the track system floats better than tires in any soil condition. Apollo windrowers can discharge potatoes into one or two rows, and to the left or right side with the touch of a button. In recent field trials with Michigan potato farmers, a single Apollo six-row windrower ran circles around two of the farm's conventional windrowers in wet, rocky conditions, and discharged the cleanest potatoes they have ever seen from a windrower Environmental Control Unit GELLERT'S Newest Creation is Full Featured and Flexible.
