Rauch strikes gold with new spreading pattern

Rauch has won an Agritechnica gold medal for its Axmat automatic spreading pattern adjustment of a twin disc fertiliser spreader.

The award also goes to Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik of Germany for its technology to separate out stones and clods of earth in potato harvesting.

The first time electro-hybrid telehandler for agricultural use is also a winner, along with an online simulator on which machinery operators can be trained to operate a complex harvesting machine or tractor through a personal computer.
