It can be operated by as many as 20 controllers at one time, allowing multiple workers to remotely shut down paired machinery from as far away as 500 feet without having to physically return to the equipment and use built-in controls. The Wireless Smart Switch unit is also highly portable and can easily be moved to and from different pieces of farm, processing plant or warehouse. Although it can be permanently mounted, a magnetic back plate makes it easy to attach to any piece of metal equipment. The controller can be kept in a pocket or attached as a fob to a belt loop or keychain. In addition, the base unit, plugs and controllers are all weatherproof. Contact Smart Ag LLC at (320) 428-9529 or www.smartagllc.com. Horsch Joker RX Series Horsch's fourth-generation Joker high-speed compact disc named the Joker RX Series, represents the next evolution of the already popular Joker RT. Along with the 20-inch concave notched blade that has come standard on previous Joker models, the new RX Series offers the ability to switch to 4-inch wave-width Vortex blades, which allow it to achieve thorough horizontal fractures at working depths from the surface down to 4 to 5 inches. Switching blades is a simple process, using just five bolts to secure each blade to the hub. The Joker RX comes standard with manual depth adjustment. An optional TouchDepth feature allows operators to electronically adjust the depth of the implement via mobile app. Two new finishing systems are available on the Joker RX. The RingFlex system, which is an evolution of the original RollFlex system, provides ultimate performance in soil conditioning and consolidation. The second option is the OptiRoll system, which offers optimum cleaning in high- moisture conditions. Joker RX models are available in 5-foot increments from 20 to 40 feet wide. Contact Horsch at (701) 532-1000 or www.horsch.com. Valley Pump Command Valley Irrigation has released Pump Command, a new solution for growers to automate pumping and wirelessly control irrigation pumps. The innovation helps save time and resources with wireless remote monitoring, plus control of all pumps and the ability to link them to a fleet of pivots or linears. Not every farm is the same. Pump Command is ideal for large and small farms, with three different tiers—Basic, Enhanced and Pro— to meet the unique needs of different operations.
