Ag Cab Lab-Combine and Tractor

The Case IH Ag Cab Lab - Combine and Tractor places viewers “at the controls” inside the cab. Participants can start the tractor and drive it for two minutes while the tractor works the field pulling a disc. While“driving,” viewers sit in the seat, move the levers and push the pedals. The Ag Cab Labs are outfitted with a 32” flat screen monitor on the inside of the cab and a 19: screen which acts as the rear view mirror to simulate what would be going on behind the tractor. A 32” flat screen monitor outside of the cab displays 90 second videos displaying other uses of a tractor.

The clips include: harvesting soybeans, harvesting silage, corn harvest, wheat harvest, vegetable harvest, combine controls, sugar beet harvest, tractor controls, spring tillage, planting, be a farmer, women in agriculture, fields to food, fields to fuel, farmers going green, corn, soybeans and cutting hay.
