Implement Control via Tablet PC
Three years ago at the "SIMA Innovation Awards" in Paris, CLAAS received a gold medal for developing a software application for controlling implements using a commercially available tablet PC. At the time it was still a project in development, but today it is a market-ready product which can be used across machinery from different manufacturers.

The new app is called the "EASY on board App" and opens up completely new operating functionality for the user by means of ISOBUS communication between the tractor and implement.

Amazing drone footage of UK combine harvesters
Farmers Weekly has been on the road capturing the highlights of harvest 2015 with a high-definition aerial drone. We've been from Hampshire and Oxfordshire to Worcestershire and Shropshire filming farmers cutting wheat, barley, oilseed rape, oats and and thatching straw. Combines featured include a Claas Lexion 780TT, a John Deere 2254, a Case-IH Axial Flow 9230 with Shelbourne Reynolds stripper header and a Massey Ferguson 32.

Why are you JUST sitting on the sand by your boat?

Because it’s a beautiful sunny day.

Shouldn’t you be catching fish instead just looking around?

Why should I catch more fish?

So you can make more money.

Why should I make more money?

So you can get ahead – buy another boat, employ other fishermen, catch more fish....

Why would I do that?

So you can make even more money.

What good would that do me?

Well, after working hard and making money, you could sit back and relax.

That’s what I am doing now.




Keep up the good work

Cheers Emma
