2016 Canada’s Farm Progress Show Innovations
T
he word “Innovation” is described under Wikipedia as ‘the application of better solution’s that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs.” It is through innovation that we see improvements, modernization and ultimately profitability in agriculture production. Canada’s Farm Progress Show — presented by Viterra is unsurpassed as the show to showcase all the Innovations — sponsored by FCC, new products and product launches that our agriculture companies and dealers have to offer. Companies, who have entered their innovation, were qualified by the Canada’s Farm Progress Show Innovations committee. Innovations that qualified were then critiqued by a panel of judges. Innovations which ranked the highest, will either receive a Gold Standard Award or Sterling Standard Award. To learn more about the program and the innovations, please visit the innovations display located in Hall #12, Canada Centre Building. Please refer to the map within this guide to view the locations of these companies and inventors at our show.

FCC Innovations Listings MICHELIN® VF520/85R42 CFO 177A8 CereXBib — MUT Harvester Tire Harvesters are often some of the heaviest pieces of equipment on the farm. This creates a unique challenge of being able to stay between the rows while carrying the weight and minimizing yieldrobbing compaction. The MICHELIN® VF520/85R42 CFO 177A8 CerexBib™ tire is designed expressly for today’s heaviest harvesting equipment and has the capacity to carry these machines through the field while respecting the soil. It is one of the first true VF tires. Michelin’s Very High Flexion (VF) tires include a class of agricultural tires designed to handle bigger and heavier farm equipment that has a greater ability to flex under increased loads than standard radials. This new CerexBib offers a massive load capacity, up to 21,960 pounds, and has a giant footprint of approximately 486 square inches. It is built with Michelin Ultraflex Technology, which enables tires to operate at up to 40 per cent lower air pressure than standard radial tires. This results in a considerable reduction of ruts and compaction, and higher yield potential. MICHELIN® VF480/80R50 166A8/166B Yieldbib — MUT Row Crop Tire MICHELIN® VF480/80R50 166A8/166B YieldBib™ is the first Michelin Ultraflex tire designed exclusively for the North American farmer for row crop tractors. It is the largest tire in the YieldBib line that also minimizes compaction for MFWD tractors. The tire offers two different enhancements to the most popular row crop tire in the industry. The first is a very high load capacity to carry large planters and grain carts through the field with the confidence in tire durability that only a Michelin can offer. The second is being able to do this type of work at a very low pressure. The new Yieldbib is designed to work at pressure as low as six p.s.i. University research has shown that Michelin Ultraflex tires can increase yield by up to four per cent versus Michelin standard radial tires. The YieldBib tire also includes Michelin’s Stubble Shield technology to provide added durability against stubble damage by utilizing an exclusive rubber compound and reinforcement in the centre line of the tire.

MICHELIN® 480/95R50 164A8/164B AgriBib — Standard Radial Row Crop Tire The MICHELIN® 480/95R50 164A8/164B AgriBib is an agricultural tire designed for general farming applications. To accommodate the loads applied by the new large front wheel assists and four wheel drive tractors, the AgriBib keeps the pressures down and the load capacity up. The new, taller tire is needed to maintain low pressures and increase capacity for the growing demand of larger implements and increased productivity on the farm. The tire has deep lugs, low slip and optimized-rubber compounds help reduce wear to give exceptionally long tire life. A sharp, vertical lug design allows the AgriBib tire to retain traction even when 70 per cent worn. Strong and super-flexible sidewalls allow a long footprint and allow more lugs to be in contact with the soil. Michelin’s exclusive “self-cleaning hinge” between the lugs helps ensure maximized pulling power in wet conditions. MICHELIN® 710/45R22.5 165D CargoXBib HF The MICHELIN® 710/45R22.5 165D CargoXBib™ High Flotation is one of the latest additions to Michelin’s renovated large implement line. The CargoXBib tire offers maximum flotation, minimizing rutting and soil damage. A new tread design provides improved cleanout. A radial casing and reinforced construction help give extraordinary load capacity at speeds up to 40 m.p.h. Designed to help reduce the power required to pull trailers, the tire provides increased productivity and fuel savings. This new line, designed with Michelin Ultraflex Technologies, allows the tire to fully utilize central inflation systems and get to the lowest pressures possible while in the field for the most soil protection possible.

CombCut® can operate in established crops such as grass leys and prevents seed dispersal by cutting the flowers and seed head of weeds above the crop. This also facilitates harvesting and lowers the cost of cleaning and drying. CombCut® is part of a weed management system and forms part of a weather-independent weed control. Now adapted for row crops. CombCut® can be used in some vegetable crops.

Hall 7 – 70420 MICHELIN® SprayBibTM VF 480/80R46 177D The new VF480/80R46 177D MICHELIN® SprayBibTM is one of the latest additions to Michelin’s VF sprayer offer. Part of the Michelin Ultraflex Technologies portfolio, this new SprayBib is designed to offer the farmer a unique sprayer tire that falls between the standard, narrow row crop tire and a flotation tire for pre-plant applications. This tire provides a load capacity of up to 16,094 pounds, even at speeds of up to 40 m.p.h., all while maintaining a low-inflation pressure to minimize soil damage and maximize field traction.
MICHELIN® SprayBibTM VF 380/90R54 176D Designed for both high-clearance sprayers as well as row crop tractors, the new Michelin VF380/90R54 176D SprayBib has not only the load capacity to carry today’s largest sprayers on the market but the largest planters as well. The tire moves through the field at low pressures and has a huge footprint to provide the traction required by tractors when used in narrow row spacing. MICHELIN® CereXBibTM IF 1000/ 55R32 CFO 188A8 The largest harvester tire in the Michelin portfolio, the IF1000/55R32 CFO 188A8 CereXBib is designed for use on large harvesters and grain carts. Harvesters and grain carts are some of the heaviest machines to hit the field and have surpassed what most standard radial tires can carry. This new Michelin Ultraflex tire can not only carry the load, but do so at a low pressure to guarantee the lowest soil compaction possible.
