Ag Growth International (AGI), a global manufacturer of agricultural handling and conditioning equipment, announced a major expansion of its product lineup at the 2026 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa. The Winnipeg-based company introduced three new farmyard solutions engineered to increase grain handling efficiency, minimize seasonal downtime, and streamline infrastructure assembly for expanding operations.

The centerpiece of AGI’s lineup is the 2027 LCX4 15108, which the manufacturer notes is the world’s first mechanically driven swing conveyor powered directly by a tractor power take-off (PTO). Developed over more than two years in direct collaboration with producers, the LCX4 addresses a persistent harvest bottleneck: moving high volumes of grain without requiring heavy, high-horsepower machinery.

By bypassing the continuous high hydraulic flow typically required by swing conveyors, the mechanical PTO design allows growers to move up to 9,000 bushels per hour using a tractor with as little as 60 horsepower.

“The best ideas don’t come from a boardroom. They come from the farmers, operators and dealers who use this equipment every day,” said David Postill, AGI Senior Vice President, North America, in the company’s official press release. “Our job is to listen, challenge assumptions and keep pushing our products forward. Every product we’re introducing at Farm Progress Show started with customer feedback and was built to solve real challenges through smarter engineering, greater serviceability and stronger performance.”

The LCX4 features a reinforced frame, heavy-duty trussing, and a redesigned hopper aimed at preventing small-grain leakage. Available in lengths ranging from 68 to 108 feet, the conveyor provides the reach required to fill larger modern bin structures.

Key Highlights of the AGI 2026 Product Launch

• 2027 LCX4 15108 Swing Conveyor: World’s first mechanical, tractor PTO-driven swing conveyor. Moves up to 9,000 bushels per hour on as little as 60 HP, featuring enhanced frame trussing and improved hopper seals.
• Farm-Duty Bucket Elevator: Built for high-volume grain moving (5,000 to 120,000 bushels per hour), optimized with fast-access points around high-wear components to simplify maintenance and reduce harvest downtime.
• Modular Structural Systems: A expanded suite of catwalks, stairs, ladders, and towers designed to meet OSHA safety standards and LRFD structural guidelines, minimizing on-site field modifications.

Beyond grain handling, AGI introduced a farm-duty bucket elevator adapted from its industrial line. The system supports throughput rates from 5,000 to 120,000 bushels per hour. Recognizing that service delays during harvest can prove costly, engineers prioritized accessibility across routine maintenance points and primary wear areas.

“When equipment is difficult to service, downtime is unavoidable,” Postill explained. “Customers told us they needed faster, safer access to components that wear the most. We built this bucket elevator around easier maintenance and keep operations running.”

Rounding out the debut is a comprehensive portfolio of structural products, including customizable catwalks, platforms, stair towers, and access systems. Designed to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) structural standards, these systems offer configurable layouts to reduce the need for field modifications during bin installation.

According to AGI leadership, the additions reflect a focused strategy on field utility and operational reliability. “These new products demonstrate AGI’s commitment to safer, smarter and more efficient farm operations,” said Paul Brisebois, AGI President and CEO. “Farmers and agribusinesses work hard to produce and protect every bushel. Our job is to build equipment that performs, protects grain quality and gives customers confidence during the busiest, most demanding times of the year.”
