small John Deere Chinese Made tracked combine available

I found out that John Deere started offering a chinese made combine starting around 2013 (with a John deere diesel engine) with green paint to the Philippines for around $39K US

Very interesting to see that they will offer this scale of equipment in other parts of the world. It would be nice to see it here in the US. Evidently there is one parked at the headquarters in Illinois but not available for sale. http://www.deere.com/en_US/docs/Corporate/fans_visitors/publications/plowshare_issue33.pdf

Mobile Mechanized Hops Harvester

This mobile hops harvester was developed to bridge a gap for nascent Northeast US hops growers between hand picking and larger investment in a stationary harvester. It was developed by a team of farmers and brewers along with an agronomist and an engineer. Support for the project came from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, the USDA Specialty Crops Program and UVM Extension.
