The agricultural model developed by Yulex for harvesting guayule is based on the cotton harvesting method that’s proven effective for more than 100 years, making the transition from cotton to guayule easy and affordable for farmers. In 2010, a new, patented commercial guayule harvester that mechanizes the guayule harvesting process and reduces costs will launch, providing farmers with energy-efficient technology that quadruples the speed with which fields are harvested. Named the ‘Y-2’, it features a front-mounted cutting deck for better ergonomics and greater maneuverability.
