Every farmer is a gambler. They gamble on the weather and are completely dependent on how the weather turns out to be in order for their crops to flourish and profit from it. The crops can get destroyed due to a storm or they can turn on perfect because of the appropriate weather conditions. This is one thing that the science lacks control in to a considerable degree. Farmers are on the mercy of the weather to either bring them a good year in farming or make them bear a terrible loss.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When it comes to grain storage science has blessed us with incredible technology. Since the industrial age, many progressions have been made in terms of handling crops. Farmers profiting from grain crops have benefitted with better maintenance for the crop and better storage facilities. Here are some of the recent technological advances that science has blessed the grains crops with.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<b><br /></b><b>NECO’s COMMANDnet:</b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grain drying is only required for as much as 2 months. Despite that, this process is an important aspect for the farmers as well as the consumers. In case of the failure of a grain dryer machine, the whole operations can come to total halt. Improper dryness can cause the grain to get damaged in the grain storage and can render it totally useless before it is even transported for sale. People would have to sit through the whole process in close proximity to the machine. This was done irrespective of the time, in order to protect the crop from perishing due to the malfunctioning of a dryer. This phenomenon changed after the introduction of ConnectPort X4 Gateway.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The system was introduced by NECO team and is now equipped in every dryer. It utilizes device cloud then passes on the information to a custom web application of NECO, COMMANDnet. This granted easy access to farmers, dealers and NECO itself. Just like most fields in farming and transportation, trucks are going digital, it only makes sense that grain drying can make use of this technology. Now farmers don’t need to spend all their time being physically present with the machine but instead can get alerts in the forms of SMS or e-mails. They can also have applications in their smartphone, computers or tablets with which they can log in and review the progress.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
360 Bullets:</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
360 Bullets is yet another innovation in grain handling, conserving the nutrients of the grains while providing quality harvest. Prior to the introduction of 360 Bullets to the farmers, the traditional rippers were prone to penetrate the soil by a small percentage. These later affects the crop, which in turn ends up receiving less nutrients than it should. 360 Bullets is although known to be only 1.5% slower than its predecessor, but gets the job done right. It eliminates undisturbed berms and rips the soil deeper than any other ripper. It ruptures the soil surface so that the roots can have a smooth transition to the subsoil’s moisture level. It has the added benefit of having the same horsepower as its forerunners.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
Tribine:</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With technology improving throughout the years, a lot of old practices in farming have nearly become extinct. Another machine that is changing the game for farmers is Tribine. This machine has the capacity to eliminate the need of a tractor or a grain cart completely. Adding more to its benefit is its speed, which is faster than the two conventional machines combined. It harbors a 1000-bushel grain bin which can be unloaded in just over two minutes. Its 500 gallon fuel tank provides it with the capability to work continuously for 24 hours. Another innovation that has been made is that the cab floor is entirely made up of glass. This grants a wider range of vision for the surroundings. It also boasts of having a tighter radius for turning than other combines. These features make the machine more desirable and intensely awaited. It is expected to release soon in 2017.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Grain storage is a field that has seen numerous technological advancements over the past 20 years, and the systems that are being used are seeing constant improvements. Improving the way that we store grain has allowed for great profit potential, with higher quality grain being produced as a result.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Obviously, there are many aspects of grain storage that need to be considered. From protecting the grain from pests to ensuring the temperature is at the right level and keeping moisture in the bin to a minimum. Grain Vacs, which are growing in popularity among farmers, help with the process of filling and emptying storage bins. This article will go into a few of the reasons they have become such a useful tool.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Trend Towards Bigger Storage Bins</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Over the past 5 years, we are seeing farmers start to prefer bigger and taller grain storage bins, for several reasons. For one thing, they enable farmers to make better use of the land they have, instead of building numerous smaller bins that take up considerably more space. Tower silos also have a very long lifespan and offer perhaps the best protection from pests, given that aeration cooling can be used to regulate moisture and drives insects out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">However, traditionally, large storage bins have been difficult to fill, given their great size. This has made it difficult for some farmers to justify using taller silos, given that grain augers, which essentially act as conveyor belts, simply can’t be used when we’re talking about a 70-foot silo. Some farmers have improvised and cut holes in tall silos, using an auger to half-fill them. However, this obviously doesn't make full use of the height of the silo.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How Grain Vacs Work</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Grain vacuum systems offer a solution to this problem, by essentially blowing grain into a bin or truck very quickly and efficiently. Basically, it does this by taking the grain into a tank, where it is separated from the air. The air is taken into another chamber, where it is essentially cleaned and any dust and other bits and pieces are removed. It is then blown out of the airlock, pushing the clean grain out of the van and into a grain bin, silo or truck. It can be used to with al kinds of grain products, including wheat, barley or meadow broad glass.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Other advantages</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Some farmers use grain vacs to fill or unload bins not necessarily due to the fact that they are tall, but simple because it’s more efficient. They can be very useful in cleaning out a grain shed or flat bottom silo and essentially clean the grain itself, removing dust and dead weevils in the process. Vacs can also make filling a trailer a much quicker process, which ultimately saves farmers time and money in the long run. They’ve proved advantageous for grain farmers in a variety of different situations and can be used with just about every grain storage solution, so they’re well worth the investment.</span></div>

<strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Trailer tow or air ride hitches are becoming more popular for drivers all over Australia, and for good reason. Road safety for all motorists has always been a major concern, and improvements in technologies and greater awareness have succeeded in reducing the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_toll_(Australia_and_New_Zealand)#Australia" target="_blank">road toll</a>.</span></strong></div>

<strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">When towing a trailer, there is always the risk of losing control due to the significantly greater weight. In addition, bumps in the road can be problematic and cause the trailer to bounce around, making it more difficult to control. Part of the reason for this is that without a good hitch, there is a tight, rigid connection between the vehicle and the trailer; when the former hits a bump, the shock is passed to the latter.</span></strong></div>

Where otherwise the trailer would jolt and bounce when a tire hits a bump or pothole in the road, the hitch acts as a ‘ball’ of air that absorbs and spreads the impact of the shock, making it essentially glide over bumps with minimal jolt effect.</span></strong></div>

<strong style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Generally speaking, the improvements in smoothness and stability are noticed a lot more when towing larger trailers and more often than not, drivers with heavier loads will see the return on investment.

Not to mention the fact that <a href="http://advantec.tumblr.com/post/142728758241/benefits-of-airsafe-hitch-technology" target="_blank">this technology greatly reduces the likelihood</a> that you’ll lose control of the vehicle while on the road, making you safer.

<span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to long-term grain storage, it’s no secret that maintaining the ideal temperature throughout the year is of paramount importance. With global warming causing more <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/apr/27/extreme-weather-already-on-increase-due-to-climate-change-study-finds" target="_blank">unpredictable weather patterns</a>, being prepared is very necessary to maintain a high quality of grain. This article will discuss a few of the issues.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most types of grain need to be kept in cool, dry environments, which is why silos and <a href="http://www.advantec.com.au/grain-storage/grain-rings">grain storage rings</a> are so widely used. <i><b>Studies suggest that dry grain should be cooled to between -5 to 0 degrees prior to harvest in the winter time.</b></i> As the climate becomes colder, grain needs to be stored in an even cooler environment, so while it’s arguably more favorable to store grain under colder weather conditions, precautions still do need to be taken.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hotter conditions present problems of their own. For one, grains need to be kept moisture-free, so poor management of grain in humid weather <b>can lead to mold growth</b>, which obviously reduces quality. This is a problem particularly with grain that has just been harvested. Modern processes of grain drying, including aeration (using airflow to dry and cool grain), are the obvious solution in these cases.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <div style="text-align: justify;">
In the winter time, keeping grain at lower temperatures can reduce the likelihood of insects getting involved, as they are usually at a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com.au/what-happens-to-insects-in-the-winter-2015-2" target="_blank">different state than normal at sub 10 degree Celsius</a>. However, there are problems with grain drying under these circumstances for certain grains, given that condensation can form as a result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, while the air temperature outside can be cold, studies indicate that on sunny days the solar factor can come into effect. When exposed to the sun for long periods, grain on the inner outer walls of the bin can be heated and end considerably warmer than is ideal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<u style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>Precautions</b></u></div>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As mentioned, the main problems that can affect grain storage are related to moisture levels, temperature and insects/birds that may get inside. Here are a few ways of overcoming these issues.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The main means of overcoming these is proper monitoring on your part to ensure that the temperature is at the appropriate level. Inspect the bin and the temperature gauge, start the fans - if the air feels humid, which is possible under these conditions, running the fans may be an option. Most importantly, you should check humidity and temperature at various locations as this can differ from one spot to another.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's recommended to refrain from using fans when weather conditions are poor, mainly because there is a high risk of blowing more moisture into the bin, which is exactly the opposite of what you’re trying to do.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Winter is unpredictable at the best of times, and even more so in certain parts of Australia. Once the grain is cooled and is ready for long term storage, you need to ensure that the <b>bin is well sealed and weather-tight</b>. If you fail to do so, heavy rains, hail, or even snow could enter the bin and cause huge problems. This also ensures rodents and other small animals don’t find their way in (they tend to be more likely to do so when food is harder to find during winter).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Agriculture has gone through many different ages over the years in terms of technological breakthroughs such as improved efficiency and crop management. These improvements have been based on improving farming standards and minimizing losses. But a new age is about to begin, the popular agricultural buzzword of our time, the age of </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">Precision Farming</b><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Precision farming is mostly about using the latest technologies in maximising your potential crop based on land size, harvesting times, crop management, as well as transportation. For a few years now, drone-like farm machinery has been the dream that would allow farmers to prepare their land and make a harvest with vehicles that have been programmed to autonomously work around the clock. In this article we will focus on some of these hi-tech developments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Advanced Surveillance System to Boost Efficiency</span></div>
</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This new level of detail means that the most advanced technology can be used to incorporate satellite information on your land in terms of satellite images of crop which can be used to observe, measure and make decisions on crop management using an array of imaging processes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This sort of farming works best on large scale farms where huge numbers of fields are used to grow crops. Satellite images can be used to create photographs of a specific field over a specific amount of time to give you information about the best place to sew your crop, as well as the potential yield of a particular crop planted in a particular area. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Drones are making a huge mark in farming in recent years for observation and inspection work for farmers, but are now being touted as one of the best tools for precision farming on a mid to large scale. Farming drones are also a much cheaper alternative to using satellite imagery services, as you will be able to purchase outright the complete system.</span><br />

Other visual inspections allow you to use infrared as well as other narrow band frequencies to visualise your plant and crop health, assess water quality as well as create a vegetation index calculation. With thermal and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LiDAR sensors</a> you will be able to have an in-depth view and record of your crop to give you information that has never been accessible before to maximise crop management on the largest of scales.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keeping on tabs with your crop is the best way to maximise the precise Australian harvest time for your crop, giving you the best possible chance of minimising crop loss and maximising crop profit. With agricultural drones able to measure plant height, number and health you have the perfect opportunity to create the most efficient farm possible.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In Queensland a <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-10/drone-technology-on-australian-farms-cost-effectiveness-trial/6535546" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">trial had taken place</a> to find the cost effectiveness of drone use in the Australian agriculture industry, trialed through a federal government funded pilot scheme. In combination with LandCare and the <a href="http://actfa.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Australian Controlled Traffic Farming Association</a>, the trial used a number of tools such as photo imaging to view crop health, as well as the presence of weeds and pests in the fields. As more trials take place, it is believed more farmers will want to try out the automated drone systems and allow them to get more data on their crops and land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The future looks bright for agricultural UAV drones in Australia, with a number of technological breakthroughs which will make the farming industry more efficient and <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">productive</span>.

Grain management is considered to be one of the most time-consuming and essential parts of the production process in the farming industry. Cutting the time you take to load a grain storage unit or transfer for transportation will increase your efficiency and speed up the process of your daily routine, saving your time, money and effort overall.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: xx-normal;">To keep your <a href="http://www.grainvac.com/products/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">REM GrainVAC</a> equipment in great shape, you should perform the following maintenance on a regular basis:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Regularly Change Blower Oil</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;">REM grain vacuum products require certain types of oil to run efficiently and without issues. You must take care to read the distinct serial number tag which is displayed on the blower which recommends the type of oil you require. You should change the oil every 100 hours of activity.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Check That Blower Isn’t Overheating</span></span></b><br />
<div>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;">It is important to regularly check that the blower is not overheating, by using the blower for the amount of time as recommended in the products usage documentation. You should always let the machine cool down completely if it has overheated, and allow the system to recover.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<b><span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Taking Care of Safety Screen</span></span></b><br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;">The safety screen on your GrainVAC should never be removed while the machine is in operation, but if there is a build-up on the screen to the point where it has become opaque, the machine should be shut down and cleaned when finishing operations. To save you this effort, run the machine at a lower rate to avoid build-up on the screen.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span>
</div>
<h3>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Keeping the Vacuum at Full Power</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;">If you find that your REM GrainVAC VRX is not sucking as it may have once used to, there are regular maintenance checks you can make to ensure it keeps its maximum suction abilities. Quickly check that all gaskets are in good working condition and that all inspection hatches and doors are closed. Check for any air leaks in your piping and also for any obstructions that may be blocking the pipes.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtQMVP5K_AGJ-HhEgKOSLzEiD6pQFWt6oRJSBf-ZwPrSYovZ_-OIFb8gn7Pi1sGS-8QIrK2jRl9XffNg3PlXzATVkghyOTJi-38SAHnISPrvRANHVvMd_CH4p0ECREUHu-She9G7Qvzq07/s1600/Grain+Vac.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>

<div>
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;">As grain vacuums shift huge capacities of grain every hour, keeping the radiator and air intake fans clean is one of the best ways to improve the overall efficiency of the machine, keeping it in top shape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 16.8667px;">Normally, shutting down the machine and performing a take-down is the last solution you need due to extended downtime of the machine, but with a reversible fan such as the <a href="http://www.cleanfix.org/products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CLEANFIX fan</a>, you can simply reverse the suction to blow out all of the debris from the radiator, saving you hours of laborious time.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;">Many of the older models of grain handling equipment suffered from reliability issues in the past, <a href="http://advantec.tumblr.com/post/150766283211/rem-grain-vacuum-best-solution-australian-agriculture" target="_blank">modern grain vacuum systems</a> such as the </span>REM GrainVAC VRX<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;"> has been totally redesigned to improve reliability, efficiency, and more capacity when in use. These top of the line machines, such as the REM 3700 Grain Vac provides improved functions for grain handling and in many cases provides a complete replacement of typical grain auger use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 16.8667px;">The efficiency of the REM grain vacuum solutions not only apply to the huge capacity in which these machines can move grain, but also these energy savings apply to manpower in the way that cleaning and maintenance are reduced thanks to its reversible CleanFix fan system - as well as the initial investment.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 16.8667px;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 16.8667px;">Grain vacuum systems also reduce the time you need to spend inside a grain bin, making them a much safer alternative to both small-scale solutions, as well as the use of grain auger systems and their own issues. Modern grain vacuums such as the REM systems are the preferred choice when it comes to value for money, capacity, and efficiency for the modern farmer.

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Maintenance of all kinds of machinery is the key to extending its lifetime. In the case of a tractor, where good quality models can last for decades, the benefits of keeping yours clean, cared-for and healthy are certainly not to be ignored. Depending on how often it is used, regular servicing is a must, however, there are ways to slow down the wear and tear of the tractor yourself.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A common problem is when the radiator becomes clogged and a tell-tale sign that this has happened is the temperature gauge going through the roof when in use. Given the nature of its work, it’s quite common that the tractor’s radiator accumulate dust, dirt, and debris. Here are some general tips on how to dislodge these items and flushing and caring for the tractor’s radiator: </span></div>

</div>
</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This tends to simply turn the debris and dirt into mud, which isn’t helping anybody and can actually wind up mixing with the water and going through the <a href="https://advantecaustralasia.wordpress.com/2016/07/10/what-is-the-purpose-of-a-radiator/" target="_blank">radiator</a>, which lessens its effectiveness in cooling the engine.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Instead, Blow them Out</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blowing the debris out with a blast of air is certainly the most effective option. A portable <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_blower" target="_blank">leaf blower</a> can be useful here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Flushing the System Out Every So Often is a Must</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you feel that the coolant is contaminated, it’s important to ascertain the best flushing option you have depending on the specific problem. Regular maintenance flushes will require you to remove the anti-freeze and pouring the appropriate radiator cleaning solution into the system while the engine is running for 30 mins to an hour. We’d recommend using special <a href="https://gobdp.com/blog/what-is-the-best-way-to-flush-a-radiator/" target="_blank">radiator flush</a>, which can be purchased at most hardware stores, other options are to use dishwater soap and some people even use vinegar.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Using Reversible Fan is a Bliss</span></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One way of increasing your chances of avoiding problems in the first place is to invest in reversible fans for your system. Like you’d use the blower vac to dislodge debris that builds up, a <a href="http://www.advantec.com.au/cleanfix-fans" target="_blank">reversible fan from CleanFix</a> essentially does this as the machine is running. Unlike other fans, which can result in reduced efficiency and subsequent higher running costs, the CleanFix option reverses the air flow in order to create high-pressure blasts to reliably clean your radiator.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The costs of maintaining your radiator can be high and timely, however, all accounts suggest that the reversible fan option requires that tractor owners use significantly less fuel and spend less time to physically cleaning the radiator.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The moment your crop is ready to be harvested, you have several options available to you to store your grain. Many choose to use grain augers to feed their grain storage systems, as they allow grain gathering from floor height upward. Combined with a grain storage system, you have an efficient tool in keeping your crop fresh and taken care of in a timely manner.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the most popular grain storage solutions is the traditional grain bin that stores various quantities of grain. Traditionally, these bins allow many tons of grain to be stored in a strong circular grain silo that allows for easy filling, access, and disposal into a transportation vehicle down the line.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Choosing the right trailer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_hitch">tow hitch</a> for your vehicle is not only important for the type of vehicle and trailer you have, but also to ensure the safety of the connection and the drivability of your vehicle. Choosing the right hitch depends on many different factors, including your vehicle’s classification, trailer size and trailer weight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are two popular types of towing hitch that are used the most in everyday situations, the basic trailer tow hitch and the air safe hitch, but many other specific towing hitches used for commercial or industrial fields are coming onto the market with special abilities such as the fifth wheel or flatbed hitch.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In basic terms, a trailer hitch is a strong piece of equipment that attaches directly to a vehicle in order to tow a trailer or a load. The hitch is the device that provides the connection to the trailer from the towing vehicle itself. Considered a permanent installation, there are a few different forms of trailer hitch, depending on manufacturer, but many tend to have the same varied system of standardised mounts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Classification of Tow Hitch</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">These <a href="http://www.advantec.com.au/accessories" target="_blank">trailer tow hitches</a> are placed into the different classification based on a number of factors. One of the most important factors is the weight of the trailer or the load you want to tow. In a complete system, you have to calculate the maximum trailer load weight you can safely tow by checking the towing ratings of your hit<span id="goog_230025037"></span><span id="goog_230025038"></span>ch ball, ball mount and hitch itself for the lowest figure. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the maximum tow rating should be based on the weakest figure of the three, safety is your number one priority. The different hitch classes in place are as follows:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Achieve a Smooth Ride</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">As a hitch is connected to the rear of the vehicle, the more weight that is added, the more your vehicle has to pull. Given the large weight on the rear of the vehicle, this can often hinder ride quality and ride smoothness to a degree that those little bumps in the road can prove quite painful and in some cases dangerous to a heavy load setup.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In these cases, the <a href="http://airsafehitch.com/" target="_blank">airsafe hitch</a> is a great innovation in the trailer moving industry and provides a dampening effect to a trailer, to smooth out all of those bumps in the road. The system works by placing the hitch ball or pin system itself onto a bed of compressed air, which is like having an extra layer of suspension between you and your trailer. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This system works so well and is easy to install and attach that many trailer hitch users are now switching to this system. Simply install the air hitch and use compressed air to attain the correct trailer height and you are ready to go. Not only does it improve on ride smoothness, it also improves safety when it comes to maneuvering your vehicle and trailer combo. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to trailer towing, nothing is more important than safety. Getting your <a href="https://advantecaustralasia.wordpress.com/2016/05/03/useful-trailer-towing-tips/" target="_blank">trailer hitch installed correctly</a> by a professional will ensure that you have a solid and secure connection to your trailer. Knowing the weight of your trailer when empty is an important step in keeping you safe and carefully distributing the weight of your loads and securing them safely to the trailer is the final step in your trailer pulling safety checks that will ensure you have a smooth and safe journey.</span></div>

<a href="https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/crops/html/a3-30.html" target="_blank">The advantages of using new equipment</a> are huge, and one of the main reasons why so many farmers upgrade is due to the increased efficiency in how the machinery itself operates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mixing, sifting is done much more efficiently by the latest equipment, and processing and packing are done with a mix of manual and automatic procedures to give you the best quality control with less manual labour.</div>

When it comes to drying and airing of your grain, there has been a huge leap in the technology behind grain storage and how the grain is treated for fungus, residue and moisture build up. Some of the latest grain storage units contain vertical central columns that are perforated to allow air to be channelled directly to the middle of a grain pile to reduce moisture and crop damage.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Stepping up your farming production can be a thrilling experience, leading you to new paths in your farming career. One of the secrets to becoming a more efficient farm is with the addition of equipment that is designed to make your life easier. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the most helpful pieces of equipment for grain handling has to be the grain auger – but what is a grain auger and how does it help? This article will help to define the use of grain auger, swing away auger systems as well as a host of practical uses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The grain auger is a <a href="http://advantec-australasia.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/grain-handling-equipment-that-improves-Efficiency-and-Saves-Money.html" target="_blank">useful grain handling equipment</a> for moving large amounts of grain at one time. Its best use is for transporting the grain off of the floor from a grain pile using a special type of raising screw that runs through the long frame of the main mechanical unit itself.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">An Innovative Elevation Method</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This agricultural screw elevator has many practical uses, its main goal being to raise grain from ground level up to the top of a grain bin or grain silo. For this purpose, many different size grain augers are available, ranging from a few meters in length to tens of meters in length.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.advantec.com.au/v3custom/pdf/meridian-conventional.pdf" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Conventional Augers" border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQqdeMC3ctAUCPNsH7J7oq6JpaO46c4ydKkbX5lkqxN5mLxhvRyW9OAO_rH-1P0_bNEfvj7s2yXFlCftiXokkZBYSKZIfXdtFBthNpcqyKybJdGrCEYRRgFFllBmd5B2_UyXI0YpWs5ZV4/s640/advantec3.PNG" title="Conventional Augers" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Grain augers are also useful in elevating grain from temporary grain storage sites and onto storage containers positioned on transportation such as trucks or trailers. As the grain auger is able to lift the grain from the ground height, there is an open screw bit that is exposed to the grain, in order to reach the grain from ground level.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Due to their versatility, many grain augers are fitted with their own diesel and hydraulic power plants to offer localized power with no additional input. Many of the big manufacturers offer a range of different grain augers, some of which have trailer capabilities with wheels.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This makes them the ideal portable grain augers, with portable <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_elevator" target="_blank">grain elevators</a> now becoming the most sought-after agricultural equipment across the country.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Swing Away Augers</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
These types of grain auger work on the same principal as their older siblings. Being new innovations in grain elevation, they have a few distinct features that set them apart from the rest. The first feature of a swing away auger is the ease of use and the speed in which grain can be elevated to a taller grain storage unit.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst the main benefits of storing grain are evident in the risky business of farming – price fluctuations, overproduction and harvest loss are the main reasons why the majority of commercial farmers use an entire system of grain storage to maximise their crop value and minimise their crop loss. There are a number of dependable grain storage systems on the market, so let’s take a look at some of them, and their uses and benefits. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijM0f5pDr9-1g7P_TVt8ncArJQeQIKVBTJcRd5ESYFkj2vo-rvJ3v7bDYBzgxGv2O65T9QaZJi8Jq0x92ShSvGhQNmuW9sj5Pw_8CPP9Sb9vDBOO7ZXtLkGCmQKjJ6__tNFDX-Qxg4iBzS/s1600/Grain+STorage.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img alt="Best Grain Storage Solution" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijM0f5pDr9-1g7P_TVt8ncArJQeQIKVBTJcRd5ESYFkj2vo-rvJ3v7bDYBzgxGv2O65T9QaZJi8Jq0x92ShSvGhQNmuW9sj5Pw_8CPP9Sb9vDBOO7ZXtLkGCmQKjJ6__tNFDX-Qxg4iBzS/s640/Grain+STorage.png" title="Best Grain Storage Solution" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Grain storage comes into play for a number of reasons such as overproduction, grain transportation, and to minimise the risks associated with grain storage. The main grain storage system in place amongst large farms aims to keep the grain in dry conditions and <a href="https://www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/corn/harvest/managing-stored-grain/" target="_blank">minimise the risks associated with grain loss</a>, such as to rot or fungal growth.<br />
<br /></div>

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Temperature Control, Aeration and Storage</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In these grain storage solutions, temperature control, ease of access and the ability to move large amounts of grain from the site to a storage unit and then on to transportation makes the difference. The majority of grain storage is done for a medium period of time, and therefore needs to be kept in a cool, and dry place to ensure the crop is not damaged.</div>

Bulk grain storage silos exist to allow a huge quantity of grain to be stored in an easily accessible unit for future transportation. Maintaining the temperature of the <a href="http://advantec-australasia.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/grain-storage-tips-for-winter_56.html" target="_blank">grain storage in harsh weather is a challenge</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Modern Grain Storage Solutions</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Grain storage such as Advantec’s “Grain Guardian” is a modern take on the old silo technique, with a few twists. It has a clever aeration system that allows for the movement of air over the top of the silo to take away heat build-up which can cause issues with crop degradation itself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.advantec.com.au/grain-storage/grain-guardian" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img alt="Grain Guardian" border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3_n8l7ZwksBmS640GUimcVXGXSwSCCX1_wplkNJnwpMLEbN8gI-VGTpJHojCu0E5yWdG9ub06tFJpb0M3rQe7T0G14YZgDqanTzjNj_ijTvNm9s5znvZUWqHpFkt7t9ov_FRV2KEO_0hL/s640/Grain+Guardian.png" title="Grain Guardian" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This innovative method is not where the grain guardian stops, as with rigid sides that include strengthened hoops surrounding the building, there is no internal structure so you can maximise the internal volume of grain stored within.<br />
<br />

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Temporary Measures</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For crop overproduction, temporary measures are needed to store the excess and maintain its quality, in times where other grain storage devices are full or non-functional. In these instances, temporary hoop structures are used to store the grain at ground level, allowing for a temporary solution when awaiting transportation. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many farms use temporary grain storage solutions to keep the grain on site and minimise on extra costs of transportation and storage at another site. These temporary measures ensure that the crop stays in optimal condition for a short period of time, allowing storage elsewhere on site at a later date.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For more long term grain storage solutions, a larger grain storage device is needed. Advantec is now using some of the most innovative technology in the industry to create <a href="http://gatcomfg.com/product/grainair-tubes/" target="_blank">grain-air tubes</a> that allow for the circulation of cool air from within a crop pile itself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
These inventive structures consist of a central pole that has holes punched in it that allow the air from the central pile of the crop to rise to the top of the grain storage silo and out into the air.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The build-up of heat from within the central column of the crop is what turns crop into rotting crop, and with a minimal risk of fungal growth due to the warm air being taken away, these longer term grain storage solutions are best for larger farms, or farms that keep grain for longer periods of time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A <a href="http://www.ritchiewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Grain_Auger" target="_blank">grain auger</a> is a piece of machinery used in the agricultural setting to move all sorts of grain from one place to another. It employs a specific type of screw elevator to take in the grain from one end of the machinery to be lifted and funnelled out through the other end, for placing in grain bins or trucks. It takes the grain from the ground level and transports it through the grain augers’ tube safely and securely.</div>

Whilst operating these machinery accidents occur due to the improper transportation and use of the grain auger itself. Many accidents occur on a yearly basis because the grain auger has not been lowered before transportation. Many injuries and even death by electrocution have resulted from the grain auger being transported without being properly packed down and has hit overhead power lines.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is for this reason that many safety information notes, signs and manuals have been produced to help minimise this risk. It is in the interests of the safety of all in this particular working environment that when not in use, all grain augers should be lowered into its transportation position before moving. It is essential that the grain auger is kept in good working condition, with regular maintenance checks and repairs throughout its working life.</div>

Portable grain augers are one way to help minimise the risks associated with overhead power lines because they tend to be on a smaller scale and allow for transportation. Many portable grain augers include safety measures so that the device itself cannot be transported while fully vertical, this is a good innovation in the agricultural machinery industry and one which many other manufacturers can take note. Some innovative grain augers like "<a href="http://www.meridianmfg.com.au/augers/?phpMyAdmin=PSWw%2C%2CV-cknjyDCVg49KL7LP9S2" target="_blank">Meridian Swing Away Augers</a>", has a reverse scissor lift standard on all of its models. This type of grain augers has a unique hydraulic cylinder lift which allows for close positioning to tall bins while increasing stability during transport.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A High-Risk Factor in the Agricultural Industry</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is estimated that over 200-grain auger injuries occur each year in Australia, and the government has set about trying to highlight the problem, as <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16536171" target="_blank">the risks associated with grain augers</a> is low on the recognition scale. More needs to be done to protect farmers and agricultural workers, with funds helping to highlight the issues and risks associated with grain auger equipment high on the priority list of the agricultural safety executives.</div>

<br />
Finger, hand and arm injuries are also a high-risk factor when using a grain auger, as it is easy for a worker to try to unblock the turning screw functions and get trapped within the machinery.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Caution, Common Sense, and Safety Procedures are Key</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Other risks associated include the risk of not being able to see the grain auger end if it is hidden under the grain itself. This poses multiple risks, so using the correct safety clothing and protective gear is essential and common sense should always be used when operating agricultural machinery.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As grain auger safety becomes more widely recognised, the likelihood of the injuries, deaths, and accidents suffered at the hands of the grain auger are likely to fall. More is needed to be done to improve the safety of the actual machinery itself, but with a <a href="http://www.advantec.com.au/grain-handling/conventional-auger" target="_blank">registered and trusted seller of grain augers</a>, come a full safety manual and short training in how to operate one of the country’s most risky types of grain handling machinery.</div>
