Summers Manufacturing Debuts New Equipment and Live Field Demos at the 2026 Farm Progress Show
New 1648 Field Belt and two Spray Fill Xpress models on display at Booth 907; Elite Chisel Samurai, Disk Ripper, and Renegade VRT run in the field
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — Summers Manufacturing, a shortline agricultural equipment manufacturer, will debut new equipment and run live field demonstrations at the 2026 Farm Progress Show, Sept. 1–3 in Boone, Iowa. Visitors can see the new 1648 Field Belt conveyor and two additions to the Spray Fill Xpress line at Booth 907, and watch the new Elite Chisel Samurai, the new Disk Ripper, and the Summers Renegade VRT work the ground in the show’s field demonstrations.
1648 Field Belt
The 1648 Field Belt moves grain at 10,000 bushels per hour — the fastest conveyor in its class. All-wheel drive comes standard, with locking hubs engineered so an operator who hooks up and forgets to disengage the AWD won’t damage the drive. It’s a worry-free design that protects the machine and keeps the day moving. The 1648 is backed by a two-year warranty.
SFX810 Drone Spray Fill
The SFX810 is built specifically for drone spray operations, pre-batching chemical loads so spray drones spend more time in the air and less time waiting on fill. It’s available in a two-tank, 40-gallon configuration or a single 80-gallon tank. An optional dual-motor setup pairs two 32-GPM electric motors — one dedicated to clean water for tank rinse, the other to loading and agitation — and can be wired for 110V or 220V to match the operator’s trailer setup. The SFX810 features stainless steel tank construction and fork pockets on all sides for easy movement around the yard or field.
SFX830 Spray Fill
The SFX830 is a compact chem-batching system built for self-propelled and pull-type commercial application sprayers. It delivers 80 gallons of capacity with the feature set of the larger SFX1630 and SFX2430 in a compact 40″ x 40″ footprint. Like the rest of the line, it’s built with stainless steel tank construction and fork pockets on all sides for mobility.
Live Field Demonstrations
Summers will put three tools to work in the show’s field demonstrations.
The new Elite Chisel Samurai 26’ does multiple jobs in a single pass. Samurai vertical-tillage blades size residue up front and adjust on the fly from 3 to 15 degrees, letting operators match aggressiveness to conditions without leaving the cab. A 3-bar harrow with a hydraulic basket delivers a field finish that can’t be touched, and a compact 13’2″ transport width makes the 26-foot machine easy to move road to road.
The new Disk Ripper features the only coulter finishing tool in the industry, leaving a superior finish behind deep tillage — so growers spend less time smoothing ground in the spring and get planting faster.
Summers will also feature the Renegade VRT in the Field Demo and Ride & Drive area, pulled by a tractor running PTx OutRun autonomy system — a look at how Summers tillage goes to work behind driverless power.
“Farmers fuel and feed the world, and our job is to create the efficiencies that make that work pay. This lineup covers a lot of ground — grain handling, spraying, tillage, and now a look at autonomy — but it all starts in the same place: the real problems farmers face every season. We don’t build for a spec sheet. We build for the field.” — Matt Volkmar, Director of Sales & Marketing, Summers Manufacturing
