2021 Tractors Of The Year

 

TOTY recently announced its 2021 Tractors of the Year, celebrating agricultural equipment manufacturers who continue to enhance farming operations with advanced technologies and increased operator comfort features. This year, the panel also focused on sustainability. Let’s take a look at the winners in the top categories.  

 

Overall Tractor Of The Year

The jury selected Massey Ferguson’s 8S.265 as Overall Tractor of the Year. Touted as the quietest cab on the market with 360-degree visibility, this tractor features a new cooling and hydraulics system. Its Dyna-7 engine offers efficient operation of a total of 28 forward and reverse speeds in four ranges and seven seamless gears. The cost-effective transmission delivers smooth and intuitive operation in manual mode or can even be operated fully automatically.

Best Utility Tractor

Considering that utility tractors must be easy to maneuver and versatile, the jury named the Valtra G 135 Versu as its Best Utility Tractor of the Year. It features an advanced power lift and effective working hydraulics. The Valtra’s high hydraulic pump capacities (100/110 l/min) guarantee speed, ease of use and full-featured implement control. And its new 6-speed powershift gives the driver better work-speed possibilities. 

 

 

Best Specialized Tractor

The jury selected the Fendt V Vario 211 as its Best of Specialized Tractor of the Year. With a full new cab, Fendt has improved the working environment for the driver. The Dynamic Performance extends power range — the extra power (10 hp) is controlled and released automatically according to the working needs. The jury touted its high quality, reliability and very efficient transmission. 

 

Sustainable Tractor of the Year

The jury selected the Claas Axion 960 Cemos as Sustainable Tractor of the Year, citing it as a “big step toward a more sustainable farming” due to all the technology included on the tractor. According to the jury, this helps make the machine even easier to use. In addition, there is a high level of optimization of all the technology and electronics utilized. Tire pressure has been optimized, as well, to help provide fuel savings and more efficient performance in the field in any working condition.

Winterizing Your Boat Or RV

Now that fall is here, it’s time to prepare your boat and RV for the real chill of winter. After you’ve taken care of your engine, you’ll need to make sure you’ve cared for your potable water systems, freshwater systems, sanitation systems and air conditioners to protect them against freeze damage. If you don't protect these systems, any water remaining in the water lines or tanks can freeze, expand, and break fittings and lines, which can be costly repairs.

 

STARFIRE’s RV & MARINE ANTIFREEZE provides burst protection in potable water systems down to -50 degrees fahrenheit. Our specially permitted formula contains denatured ethyl alcohol and propylene glycol, which not only provides superior care against harsh winter temperatures and winds, but it’s also an economical alternative. There’s no mixing required, and our non-toxic antifreeze is safe for fresh water systems.

FDA-Approved PPE For Your Business

In light of the current pandemic, it’s more important than ever to protect yourself and your employees with personal protective equipment (PPE). But keeping up with what to use and finding it in stock has been challenging for most business owners.

 

This is especially true when it comes to hand sanitizer. According to the FDA, sanitizers that include the ingredient 1-propanol, which is not to be confused with 2-propanol/isopropanol/isopropyl alcohol, is not an acceptable ingredient and can be toxic and life-threatening when ingested.

 

Also, hand sanitizers that contain methanol should be avoided. The FDA recommends that when soap and water are not easily available, to use alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60 percent ethanol (also referred to as ethyl alcohol).

 

In addition to using FDA-approved hand sanitizers, it’s also key to wear face masks when in public, clean high-touch areas frequently, and when in close contact with the public, to wear face shields, which can help protect the eyes from the virus.

 

Where To Find FDA-Approved PPE

 

With quantities available from personal use to buying in bulk, STARFIRE offers the FDA-approved PPE you need to reduce the spread of COVID-19, in stock and at fair prices.

 

Call us today at 888-258-8723 to order FDA-approved supplies including hand sanitizer, gloves, face shields, sanitizing wipes, 3-ply disposable face masks, KN95 and N95 face masks.
