Ignite Attachments has introduced a new sickle bar mower for compact tractors, showcasing its latest addition to the market. The mower is available in 60- and 84-inch working widths and features a double-bladed tooth system that ensures a clean, precise cut at speeds up to 7.5 mph, even in wet or bedded forage.
It includes an anti-vibration system that extends blade life and reduces maintenance needs, while its adjustable angle from 90 to -45 degrees makes it versatile for mowing embankments, ditches and for vertical pruning.
The sickle bar mower is compatible with any compact tractor that has a Category 1 hitch and rear hydraulics. The 84-inch model requires a minimum of 35 hp and 540 RPM, while the 60-inch model needs at least 20 hp.
Sound Agriculture has introduced innovative solutions aimed at enhancing nutrient efficiency for the 2025 growing season. The company’s new offerings include a synthetic fertilizer replacement incentive and BLUEPRINT, a beneficial fungi product designed to boost nutrient and water uptake.
These additions complement Sound Agriculture’s flagship product, SOURCE, which has already demonstrated significant benefits by reducing nitrogen use and improving root growth.
SOURCE and BLUEPRINT work synergistically, with BLUEPRINT enhancing nutrient and water absorption through high-quality arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This combination improves nutrient accessibility and supports plant health, especially in high-stress environments.
KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA, Inc., has announced the launch of its next-generation RX40 Series utility tractor. This new series builds on the legacy of the RX20 line, offering a blend of power, comfort and value designed to handle demanding tasks with greater ease and efficiency.
“With the RX Series, we’ve reimagined what a utility tractor can offer by combining advanced features with the rugged reliability KIOTI is known for. These mighty machines are built with operator needs top of mind,” said Joel Hicks, KIOTI associate tractor product line manager for tractors. “The RX40 is more than an upgrade; it’s an investment in not only your productivity and comfort, but also contributes to the success and sustainability of your farm.”
The RX40 Series features a spacious five-pillar cab designed for operator comfort, providing excellent visibility, ample head- and legroom, and a deluxe air-ride suspension seat to reduce fatigue during extended use. The cab also includes climate control for year-round comfort and an optional instructor seat to facilitate training. Additionally, the tractor is equipped with an electronic 3-point hitch, power steering, a tilt steering wheel and an LED instrument panel for intuitive operation.
