With Lely Exos, Sphere and Horizon we introduced three new and true ‘Yellow’ Revolutions – groundbreaking developments that unlock new opportunities for farmers. These three new developments complete a list of ten other Yellow Revolutions since we started with this concept in 2005. Let's look back at five previous revolutions.
A long tradition of
Yellow Revolutions
Baler (CB) Concept (2014)
Since the introduction of the round baler, engineers have been searching for ways to solve the problem of stopping with each bale. That was until Lely introduced the continuous baler concept. A round baler that was able to keep on driving while a new bale was being formed and the previous one was being finished at the same time. This high potential baler concept went to Agco during the forage takeover.
The Lely Orbiter allows farmers to process milk on the farm and to create new ways to market dairy products. The Lely Orbiter also takes the next step, tapping into the potential of the milking robot by selecting milk from different cows and making use of the 24/7 milk flow. For Lely it meant an introduction into a whole new segment: producing consumer goods.
A robot to support grazing – a great idea. Two small robots were able to ‘ration the pasture’ by moving a fence slowly across the field. This reduced the labour requirement, as well as grazing losses. Unfortunately, the Lely Voyager system was not a commercial success but appeared to be one of the first field robots ever.
The Lely Vector was the first flexible and autonomous system for feeding. It introduced a new way of feeding, based on offering herds more frequent, smaller and fresher portions. Although automated feeding was not new, this development certainly shook up the market for feeding equipment.
In 2008, the Lely Juno was the first robot to enter the feeding market. Farmers were getting used to seeing a Lely Discovery in the barn, but a robot to push feed was completely new. Automatically pushing feed offered many benefits and really set a trend in dairy farming. The Lely Juno is now one of the most successful and appreciated Lely products.
