At Young's Equipment it's all about providing you with the optimal tools you need for your farm, providing added value and finding the best solutions for you and your Equipment. That's why we would like to introduce two essential products for your harvesting operation to you:

Take Flexdraper Performance over the Top with MacDon Contour Buddy & Turbo Drum

MacDon FD Series FlexDraper® Headers are designed to contour to the ground on rolling terrain for a close even cut. However, when cutting off the ground, the FlexDraper frame is locked into rigid mode. This setting limits the FlexDraper’s ability to contour over rolling terrain. The ContourBuddy™ System solves that by allowing FlexDrapers to be used in Flex mode while cutting off the ground.

Take FlexDraper® Performance Over the Top! The ContourBuddy™ Performance Option is a simple mechanical system allowing the operator to run their FlexDraper unlocked in Flex, and utilize Auto Header Height mode while cutting crops off the ground. To accomplish this, the design uses strategically placed wheels under the FlexDraper for instant response of the Flex/Float system, mirroring the contours of the field while cutting up to 10 inches (250mm) from the ground surface.

The ContourBuddy™ provides operators with a number of performance benefits including:

• Use of flex mode and auto header height while cutting off the ground - adjustable to leave between 4’’ (100mm) and 10’’ (250mm) of stubble*
• Smooth, consistent stubble heights – ideal for reducing erosion, catching winter snow, and setting you up for planting
• Reduced operator input – Set your cut height and go!
• Reduced digging/picking stones
• Eliminates the need for gauge wheels up to 10’’ (250mm) stubble height*

 Call or come in to your favorite Young's location today to ensure you have your ContourBuddy™ for harvest this year!

Turbodrum is a heavy duty, high-capacity, retrofit feed drum for draper headers to replace the existing, standard feeder drum on draper heads. It comes complete with all internal components fully welded and assembled, ready to go. Just pull out your existing feed drum, then slip-in and install a Turbodrum - it’s that easy.

Turbodrum is a complete easy replacement feeder drum that fits Macdon D60 and FD75 headers. If you are reading this then you already know the frustration of slow harvest speeds in bulky crops like canola, and even worse, the blockages and breakdowns caused by the standard feeder drum in these headers. Turbodrum is an instant fix to problems such as slow harvest speeds in bulky crops, and even worse, blockages and breakdowns caused by the standard feed drum. Turbodrum allows you to go faster and get the crop off in less time at less cost. It feeds better and it’s reliable. Fitting the Turbodrum is quicker than fixing your original. Increase performance and efficiency and reduce loss of crop value.

          

KEY FEATURES

• More than double the number of retractable fingers with a far more aggressive pattern. It literally grabs the crop and pulls it through in a constant and steady flow so the load to the rotor/drum can be optimal. This in turn provides for a more steady and improved ground speed with more crop harvested each day and less loss of time over the harvest period;
• A smaller barrel with taller flighting creates a huge gap for pulling through bulky crops: ideal to help eliminate blockages and pluggin;
• Less flighting and more fingers, so the full width of the drum is used;
• Turbodrum’s unique patented paddle flights prevent repeating by eliminating the usual “dead zone” under the drum;
• A large diameter, fully welded crankshaft: extra strength where you need it;
• Infinitely adjustable finger timing to suit any condition for crop flexibility;
• Eliminates the problematic and unnecessary reverse clutch by not blocking;
• Field-fitted, clamp-on retractable finger holders;
• Extends the life of the rest of your expensive machine by reducing shock loading and plugging;
• Easy installation with clear instructions provided;

With prices on the Turbodrum being lower or comparable to OEM feed drums it's a great option to increase the efficiency of your header. The Young's Equipment parts staff have the knowledge on this and all the parts you need for a no-hassle harvest, come in or call today!

BOOM PRIME
Fully Automated with the Touch of a Button

Boom prime prepares each individual nozzle, beginning on the outside of the boom. Nozzles are opened in timed sections to purge any remaining chemicals. Once boom priming is complete in one section, it continues down to the next section on the boom until all sections are complete.

BOOM RECIRCULATION
Reduce Product Settling and Eliminate Waste

Boom recirculation with Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) nozzle technology uses add-on hardware to aid in efficiently cleaning out the boom and plumbing system by circulating liquid from the outside tip of the boom and back to the center section.

FEATURES
Optimize Chemical Use

• Prime a sprayer boom with minimal application of product, eliminating waste and protecting the environment
• Achieve uniform and correct product application by reducing settling of product throughout the machine
• Increase uptime with a simple and efficient boom

Seamless Integration

• Activate boom prime on your machine with a simple software upgrade, included with AIM Command FLEX™ or Hawkeye® (no unlock required)
• No additional rate controller or display required

Why Build a Sprayer Trailer?

Many people of Saskatchewan have deep roots to Ukraine, including many of our own staff members. Because of this, the employees of Young’s Equipment in Regina have donated $1000 to the humanitarian efforts for the people of Ukraine.

In recent years, there has been a debate about whether the additional protection provided by synthetic oil is worth the higher price tag. Read on to learn how synthetic oil is different from conventional oil and what benefits this offers you.

Conventional lubricants are made from mineral base oils, which come directly from a natural source, mostly crude petroleum. Making these oils require less refining than synthetic oils which makes the end product less expensive. The downside to this more natural product is that the molecules in the oil are not uniform in size. This can create more friction and waste build up in the oil.

Synthetic oils also begin as crude petroleum but are highly refined to create a uniform molecular structure. This greatly increases lubrication performance providing extended protection in the most extreme conditions, increased fuel economy, and an extended service life.

What are the advantages of Synthetic oil?

Synthetic oils bring 5 main advantages over conventional oils:

• Higher temperature resistance. Synthetic oils can safely handle higher operating temperatures without breaking down. Synthetic oils are thus recommended for the heavy-duty, turbocharged or hard-use applications seen in agricultural equipment.
• Better low temperature performance, making easier cold starts. Synthetics flow freely at extremely low temperatures (-30 °/- 40° C)
• Better engine protection. As oil moves through the engine, some of the additives can be sheared (cut in half) by high-speed engine parts, which thins the oil. Full synthetic motor oils resist shear under heavy loads better than conventional oils. This helps synthetic motor oil maintain its viscosity grade, which offers better engine protection and withstands more extreme engine conditions.
• Lower oil consumption. Synthetic motor oils experience less "boil off" than conventional motor oils. A good synthetic will lose only about 4 % of its weight when run at 400 degrees for six hours, compared to a 30% loss for conventional petroleum based oil. The lower evaporation rate means less oil consumption between changes.
• Cleaner engines. Synthetics don't break down or sludge up as fast as ordinary mineral based oils do. This means that all your equipment won't accumulate sludge in the engine as fast and lubrication efficiency will be maintained.

Donation to Hospitals of Regina Foundation towards a Transport Isolette for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Today at Agribition we were able to be part of the presentation of a donation to the Hospitals of Regina Foundation on behalf of Young’s Equipment, MacDon, Väderstad, and Farm Credit Canada. The combined donation of $300,000.00 between the four organizations will fund the purchase of a transport isolette for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This piece of equipment is used to transport babies born in hospitals and communities outside of Regina and who need care in the NICU to Regina to receive that care. This obviously fits well with the communities where we live and do business, and the opportunity to partner with MacDon, Väderstad, and FCC, who we have such strong relationships with, and to support an organization like the HRF, was exceptional.

Young's Equipment

"Each year, 500 babies need specialized care provided in our NICU in the Rawlco Centre for Mother Baby Care at Regina General Hospital. For babies born outside of Regina, it is critical that our teams have the specialized technology needed to transport these newborns to our NICU in order to survive. Thanks to a generous donation of $300,000 from Young's Equipment Inc. , MacDon Industries Ltd. and Vaderstad Canada, our NICU transport team has a new Transport Isolette, a mobile mini-NICU capable of delivering state-of-the-art, critical care to these fragile babies during their journey to Regina."

mmmm….blizzards….mmmmiracles….

Miracle Treat Day usually has Dairy Queen donate a portion of their proceeds to local children’s hospitals, in Saskatchewan that’s Jim Pattison’s Children’s Hospital. This year the event has been posponed, so we decided to make our own our own Miracle Treat Day by ordering blizzards and making a separate donation from our staff’s funds to the foundation.

A donation of $500.00 has been made, on behalf of the Regina’s Social Committee and Regina staff to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Below is a  thank you message from Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation:
