ARA Signs a Letter to ASABE
Jul 30 2018
ARA signs a letter to the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) with concerns of the new standard for lighting on non-self-propelled equipment, as it applies to anhydrous ammonia nurse wagons. When pulling an ammonia nurse tank trailer behind a pick-up, many farmers may not have the 7-pin terminal on their rear hitch to accommodate the new trailer lights. Many ag retailer pick-up trucks will also face this challenge. We acknowledge that “adapters” are available, but the reality is that most farmers will not have them on hand when they arrive at the ag retail location to pick up tanks (even if we inform them of this need).
