Ray McCormick’s dealership, formerly known as Alliance Tractor, has a new name. It was acquired by Sloan Implement in July. One of the first things that catches your eye when you pull up to the dealership, is this giant limited production S7 combine that they’ve been demoing for wheat growers this summer. It has 2 large cameras on both sides of the cab to maximize harvest efficiency. Ryan Seger gives us the scoop on the technology.

“The biggest thing customers see on this is the new automation. The combine, instead of being reactive, this is going to be proactive where it’s going to be using satellite imagery, and it also has cameras on here so it’s going to be able to speed up and slow down the combine based on the crop conditions. A lot of this automation we think is going to help the customer be more productive, so even some of our experienced operators will be excited to get this out here and see what type of productivity gains they see with this machine. On some of the bigger machines, we’ve seen a lot better fuel efficiency.”  

Seger’s team will continue demoing the combine this fall.
