HARVESTING WITH C&O TRACTORS
IN THE FIELD WITH THE IDEAL
The IDEAL combine harvester harnesses industry leading technology to deliver you more grain at the best quality. It’s the first “clean-sheet” design of a combine in 30 years—a machine based not on what has come before, but on what producers said what they needed, it has been tested in some of the most rigorous trials ever initiated by a farm equipment manufacturer. Over the past six years and continuing today, AGCO sought input from producers the world over, working with combine operators who, collectively, grow every crop harvested by combines in practically every condition. Since the launch of the MF IDEAL to the UK market in 2018 all three models of the combine have been demonstrated extensively in a range of crops and conditions, delivering;
▶ Consistently high yields
▶ Excellent fuel efficiency
▶ Quality straw output
Customers have reported that they really like the enhanced technology, and seeing the benefits of crop flow visualisation, combine self-adjustment and the capacity for data transfer within their AGCO machinery fleet, as well as enjoying the higher output over their previous machines See footage of the IDEAL in action at www.youtube.com/candotractorsltd
