Precision for every farmer: tractor autosteer and manual guidance systems

What Is Autosteer Technology? Making accurate rows when driving a tractor requires special skills from a driver. Rowing is essential when you want to sow seeds without losses, fertilize the soil or gather the harvest with maximum efficiency. Simple manual guidance could not cope with that need especially when it comes to difficult terrain and very high precision, as manually no one can keep their tractor on the line with 1 cm accuracy. In that case, you should use digital farming technology – GPS-based automatic steering. When installed on a tractor, the GPS unit gets a signal from the satellite and sets the correct route. But a simple GPS module doesn’t provide you with the highest accuracy. To get precise positioning, another precision farming tool should be used. That is an RTK system that minimizes signal distortion and increases the accuracy of automatic steering up to +- 1cm. It gets signals from nearby RTK stations (NTRIP providers) or from your own RTK base. With the combination of GPS+RTK precision agriculture tools, your fieldwork will be done quicker, in a more efficient way and will allow you to save time and money for more important things.

In precision farming, GPS for tractors is a must. It is among the most effective yet multi-functional smart farming tools. You are welcome to evaluate all the benefits of this technology on the FieldBee website. Our company provides precision farm supplies based on GPS and RTK technologies for tractors, harvesters and other farming machinery.
