Fifth special edition NFMS Machinery Newsletter arriving Monday

Apr 26, 2024

Subscribers can learn about a new unit from Kubota, Penta’s new 40 Series mixer and more

Coming to Farms.com newsletter subscribers on Monday is the fifth edition of the special National Farm Machinery Show (NFMS) newsletters.

The team at Farms.com is assembling these newsletters to bring you more than 70 interviews and videos taken from the floor of the National Farm Machinery Show in February.

“Since we’ve returned from the NFMS our team has been working tirelessly to edit and prepare these videos for our farmer subscribers,” said Ryan Ridley, digital marketing and PR manager with Farms.com. “More than 4,900 of you engaged with last week’s newsletter, and we’re excited for you to see all the great content in this coming edition and the ones that will follow.”

Between the four previous versions, the newsletters have been viewed by more than 14,000 subscribers.

The newsletter will have nine video interviews for farmers.

Here’s a few examples of what producers can expect to learn about.

J Cole Sandford, New Holland’s cash crop product specialist, talks about throughput on the new CR11 combine with a 50’ MacDon FD250 header.

A new knife and guard assembly helps increase capacity by about 20 percent, he said.

Kubota added to its LX Series with the LX2620.

Added to the LX lineup of 35 and 40 HP tractors, this 26 HP unit comes with some upgrades including a quieter HST transmission, wider deck and loader, LED headlights and more.

And Penta sheds light on its new 40 Series mixer.

The features of these mixers include an inside liner that allows feed to mix in a uniform way. And manufacturing upgrades help produce a more robust and reliable machine.

The Machinery Newsletter arrives in inboxes on Monday, April 29.

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
