The On Board Module concept is an exclusive joint venture of John Deere, which developed the harvester; and Tama, which developed the wrap for the round modules (TamaWrap®). Both the harvester and the TamaWrap® are patented.

The On Board Module Builder Revolution
The On Board Module technology replaces the traditional cotton harvesting system which includes basket harvester, boll buggy and module builder – the entire picking process is carried out by ONE machine and ONE operator!
Zero cotton waste
Traditional Mechanized Harvesting:
Waste was always a huge problem of the Traditional Mechanized Harvesting:
Each step of the operation cost you valuable cotton which fell on the ground (from basket harvester to boll buggy, from boll buggy to module builder etc.)
Much more waste came from transportation that left a lot of cotton on the ground.
The On Board Module Builder Revolution
The On Board Module harvesting process eliminates waste completely:
The module is ejected straight from the harvester already with 360o coverage in TamaWrap™.
This unique wrap goes over the edge to minimize cotton waste and holds tight the shoulders of the round module.
Protects cotton quality
Traditional Mechanized Harvesting:
In extreme weather conditions the situation became much worse; the module’s square shape and the fact that it was only protected from the top caused significant cotton loss from wind, rain and water puddles.
The On Board Module Builder Revolution
The round shape of the module and the fact that it has 360° coverage minimizes contact with the ground.
