A2B-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 9, 1993 Osborne Industries, Inc., announces the availability of its new “Climate Commander™, Version 1.0” PC program for remote computer management of barn climate In up to 32 separate locations with its Model CVS microprocessor based controls. Program Offers Remote Climate Control OSBORNE, Kan. Osborne Industries, Inc., announces the availability of its new “Climate Commander™, Version 1.0” PC program for remote computer management of bam climate in up to 32 separate locations with its Model CVS microprocessor-based controls. Hie user can view current room temperature and operation of the CV-5 controls and can change control settings and diagnose equipment operating condition from the remote PC. The program can also be used to collect and store a data base of climate in formation for later study (for example, comparison to feed effi-' ciency, rate of gain, etc.). Climate Commander is available in either 3.5 or 5-inch disk format. Each CVS control provides four stages of ventilation control and one stage of heater control for a fully coordinated climate. The CVS accepts either 120 or 240 V AC input and features a watertight enclosure, a digital temperature display, and a dual sensor option for more accurate room tempera ture measurement. The first two CV-5 stages control variable speed fans and the second two. Pullins Appointed Manager ness News full-speed fans. Each stage con trols up to 10 amps of fan load without added external relays. All stages are interlocked with the heater stage. Additional CV-5 features in clude variable span for the rate of RPM change with temperature for the two variable-speed stages, low temperature auto-off, a vent/cool option so fans run at minimum speed or stop at or below system set-point as needed, and Os borne’s unique Power-Up™ fea ture that starts fans at full horse power before idling back to con trol speed. Nonlinear fan performance is automatically cor rected by the CVS microprocessor for optimum controllability. The CVS is the first wholely U.S.-designed and manufactured microprocessor-based controller for livestock ventilation. The CVS and the Climate Commander™ program are warranted against de fects in materials and workman ship for one year.

A 3-cylinder 165 CID diesel Hoffman Seeds Releases New Soybean Varieties LANDIS VILLE (Lancaster Co.) Hoffman Seeds has intro duced two soybean varieties for 1993. An Early Group 111 variety, 3311 emerges rapidly for good canopy development to help pre vent weed growth. It has shown documented yields of more than 100 bushels per acre. Moderate branching makes 3311 adaptable both to wide row and solid seed ing. It is recommended as a full season variety. A Late Group 111 variety, 3388 produced 46.2 bushels per acre yields in the stress environment of 1991. It will perform in cyst or non-cyst environments. 3388 also features fast emergence with good shattering resistance to minimize Held losses. It is resistant to a number of diseases including race 3 and 4of soybean cyst nematode. An Early Group HI variety, 3311 emerges rapidly for good brown stem hot, and phytophthora. canopy development to help prevent weed growth. A Late Group Both varieties are available in a m variety, 3388 produced 46.2 bushels per acre yields in the Value Pak®, which contains 54 stress environment of 1991.

The 4030 is powered by a 179 CID diesel, the 4230 by a 220 CID diesel, and the 4430 by a 238 CID diesel. All models ate available with either 12 x 4 or 12 x 12 transmis sions with synchronized mechani cal shuttle shift. Both transmis sions have three ranges of four synchronized gears. Wrap-around fenders-minimize plant and vine damage. Telescoping steering wheels and foldable ROPS allow low-clearance work. Tight turning radius adds maneuverability. “These tractors were bred for vineyard work,” said Product Manager Dave Dell. ‘They’re the right choice where growers need a lot of power in a small space. They’re narrow but they have ex cellent stability because of a low center of gravity.” The new narrow tractors feature Category II 3-point hitch and in dependent PTO: 540 RPM for the 3830 and 4030 and 540/1000 RPM for both 4230 and 4430. Working width of the 3820 is 49 inches. Minimum working width of the other three tractors is under 58% inches.
