As a manufacturer
of a wide range of bearing solutions, agriculture is a big industry for us. This
year we will be attending the Farm Progress
Show 2017 from
August 29-31. We’re excited to learn more about the latest in farm technology
and what’s new in the field of agriculture. This show is a great way to see
what’s new, connect with others in the agricultural industry, and get our hands
on the latest and greatest farming equipment.
Among notable
trends, we’re hoping to learn more about new mass harvesting equipment for corn growers. We’ve seen reports on multiple
companies designing new corn heads to provide mass grain harvesting. Some
models have been developed that can accommodate any row spacing while driving
the combine in any direction. This is an exciting innovation for corn growers,
as it will improve efficiency in harvesting.
We’ve also been
seeing more news related to autonomous tractors and other related farm equipment. This is a trend that
we definitely see picking up in the future as more equipment goes high-tech for
greater productivity. It also addresses the current skills-gap, which is a
pressing concern as less young people are entering agriculture.
For these trends
to succeed, it’s crucial for manufacturers to select the right parts for each
product. Designers should take into account the lifespan of critical components,
such as bearings, to keep equipment running smoothly. We have a number of maintenance free agricultural bearings that are ideally suited to for working
in harsh environments. Especially for autonomous vehicles, having maintenance
free bearing options can save a lot of time and money down the road.
Representatives
from PEER Bearing will be roaming throughout the Farm Progress Show, taking a
look at what’s new and exciting in this sector. If you’re going to be
exhibiting, we’d love to stop by and take a look at what you’ve got to offer. Let
us know your booth number on Twitter, and we’ll try to pay you a visit!
