The Load Logic system and excessive flexion tires scale back compaction, and the SmartFrame toolbar gives 52 inches of row unit journey for uniform planting depth.
Precision Planting’s ReconBlockage prevents skips and yield loss when seeding and fertilizing through the use of acoustic sensors to detect move variance by part, immediately alerting operators of blocked runs, which price money and time. ReconBlockage sensors work like stethoscopes, capturing and deciphering sounds and alerting operators by way of a wi-fi app to buildup points that will in any other case plague optical sensors.
OutRun is an autonomous answer that permits tractors to tug grain carts with out drivers throughout harvest. It’s a self-contained package that helps older tractor fashions and helps preserve or enhance productiveness when labour is scarce.
OutRun’s interface permits operators to place grain carts round fields, and autonomously match pace and distance with combines for on-the-go unloading and unloading in designated zones. The answer avoids unharvested land and makes use of beforehand travelled paths to minimise soil compaction. OutRun operates utilizing its personal communication system for dependable operation no matter mobile protection within the discipline.
