SPARTA, Mich. (WZZM)- Tractors are normally slow and noisy, but not this new high tech piece of farm equipment.
AGCO Corporation is on a tour, showing off a new tractor that's both environmentally and farmer-friendly.
Rene Boivin, AGCO Corp. product marketing specialist said that, "The EPA has been putting laws, controls into the automobile, also the tractor, farm industry to reduce the type of NOX (Nitrous Oxide) and also the smog. This tractor has new equipment that treats its own exhaust and reduce pollution. The more you can reduce the nox and the type of black smoke we might call it form the engine the better it is and and it's trying to push down where it's better quality of air for everyone. We're the first company that is using such a technology in the agriculture industry."
Not only is this tractor environmentally friendly under the hood but the entire cab has been redesigned with the farmer in mind.
Boivin pointed out that, "All of the control center has been redesigned, you've got all the touch to the fingers, you've got also, all the controls are all right with a screen next to the driver."
Tt even has a place for the farmers laptop, heated and cooled seats and cruises at 33 miles per hour.
