Deere to build new grain harvester in Kansas
John Deere Inc and Agri-Tech will jointly develop and build a new grain harvesting combine devised by Burr Oak farmer Mark Underwood. The 30,000 pound, bi rotor machine debuted at the U S Custom Harvester convention in Lawrence in December and was field tested in 1993 and 1994. The design features a bi rotor threshing system, a larger 400 bushel grain tank, fewer moving parts, a shorter threshing area, and rubber tracks for muddy fields. Kansas State University and state finance programs supported the project.
