In this day and age, combination machine manufacturers have tapped existing and developed new technologies to make their machines more efficient. Systems that were developed 20 years ago, like hydrostatic drive, have been refined and made even more cost-effective by reducing fuel consumption by 40 percent. A multiplexed control system has eliminated hundreds of splices and countless hard-wired switches to minimize potential problems and increase efficiency in the field. Everyone has heard the quote “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” In our industry if you wait until it’s broken, it’ll cost you time and money.
