Corner 4x4 & GPS Controller Earn Lindsay Corporation Best Product Engineering Awards
Omaha, NE, June 13, 2008 --(
PR.com)-- Lindsay Corporation has earned two 2008 AE50 Awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) for innovation in engineering products that enhance grower value by saving time and money, while increasing yields. Lindsay, maker of Zimmatic irrigation systems, was honored with the annual awards for their development of the Corner 4x4 and GPS Controller.
The patent pending Corner 4x4 is ideal for tackling the challenges of tough field conditions and improves the performance of a corner system with four wheels that work together, providing better traction for the MAXfield Custom corner. The Corner 4x4 also works with older Zimmatic machines, as well as competitors’ systems and offers better tracking in ruts and on ridged crops.
The patent pending GPS Controller uses the power of global positioning satellites to identify the exact location of the controller in relation to the pivot point. This allows growers greater control of water and fertilizer applications through end-guns and sprinklers – maintaining precision application while enhancing any pivot system, regardless of brand.
“Our employees take pride in developing the best irrigation solutions for producers throughout the world,” said Barry Ruffalo, president of North American Irrigation for Lindsay. “We’re honored to be recognized for our efforts, but these awards also belong to the growers we work with around the world who provide us with valuable feedback that make our products even better.”
Lindsay previously earned three AE50 Awards, presented to companies that offer the most innovative products engineered for agricultural, food, biological and related systems:
2007 - FieldNET™ - the industry’s first completely web-based, real-time irrigation management system
2006 - FieldSENTRY™ Wireless Irrigation Network and the FieldLINK™ Pump Control
