The Tribine exhibit (right) is a huge hit at Progress City. Developer of the Tribine, Ben Dillon, says in the last year, they have been doing numerous tests to keep up with farmers demand.
 
 
Dillon says the Tribine is a whole new design, something agriculture hasn't seen since the '40s. He says it holds one-thousand bushel and is a full time four-by-four drive.
