A system that controls the direction of the machine (attached to the tractor) so that the machine accurately follows the guiding line, minimising drift caused by ground conditions or gravity.
It is based on GNSS positioning of the machine and transmits commands to a steering mechanism on the machine (or to the integrated system), ensuring tractor-implement alignment on the same track.
Compatible with the John Deere ecosystem (StarFire antenna, Gen/G5 displays, Operations Centre).
Benefits
Eliminates or significantly reduces implement drift on slopes, curves or when crossing areas with plant residue; keeps the implement on the optimum track.
Allows large or heavy machinery to be used with increased accuracy without causing placement errors as a result of increased working speed.
Reduces the need for frequent manual intervention by the operator, decreasing operator fatigue and human error.
Benefits for the farm
Increased efficiency of operations requiring precise positioning (seeding, localised fertilisation, strip-till) through uniformity and accuracy.
Reduce input losses and subsequent correction work (fewer additional passes).
Improve crop health and yield potential through correct placement of seeds and inputs.
