Innovations

EquipmentWorld.com Â January 2010 17 INNOVATIONS 2010 by x E ven in these slow times, the spirit of innovation still lives, and we're honoring three products that exemplify this award. All three met the most important criteria of any innovation Â to make our lives and our work more productive, but each in a different way: INNOVATIONS 2010 Take a complicated machine and make it simpler... Deere's electro-hydraulic motor grader controls... p.26 Take a fuel-intensive machine and make it more effi cient... Komatsu's diesel-electric hybrid excavator...p.22 Take a labor intensive process and make it automatic ... Contractor Myron Mullet's AggreScreed gravel-spreading attachment...p.18 It's encouraging to see even in these hard times forward thinking corporations continue to fund new ideas. And the fact we have our fi rst contractor-inventor winning an Innovation Award this year portends good things to come from all you aspiring Thomas Edisons out there. Whether you work for a corporation or yourself we hope you'll draw inspira-tion from these stories, and if you're so inclined, fi re up the welding machine and build something we can feature in these pages next year.
