How automatic steering helps to avoid losses: TOP 5 solutions
Errors in tractor control can lead to significant crop losses, reducing the efficiency of agricultural work and increasing costs. Let’s consider the TOP 5 key solutions thanks to which auto steering for farm machines allows you to minimize losses and increase productivity.
1. Eliminate gaps and overlaps when seeding
Errors in manual control can result in uneven seed placement, leaving behind missed spots or densely packed crops. Automated steering ensures precise tractor movement along a set path, preventing overlapping rows and gaps, which promotes uniform crop growth and increases yields.
2. Precise application of fertilizers and chemicals
Irregular tractor movement during spraying or fertilizing can result in overspray in some areas and under-coverage in others. Automated control stabilizes the tractor path, ensuring uniform distribution of fertilizers and chemicals, which promotes healthy plant growth and prevents crop loss.
3. Reduced soil compaction
Frequent repeat passes over the same areas due to imprecise steering compacts the soil, reducing its ability to retain moisture and nutrients. Automatic control eliminates unnecessary runs, optimizes routes and reduces the load on the soil, which helps to preserve its structure and increase crop yields.
4. Optimization of work in difficult weather conditions
Poor visibility due to fog, rain or working at night increases the likelihood of control errors, which leads to inaccurate processing and crop losses. The automatic steering system helps to maintain a precise trajectory even in difficult conditions, minimizing risks and improving the quality of field processing.
5. Saving time and fuel
Manual driving errors require additional adjustments and repeated passes, which increases fuel consumption and reduces productivity. Automated control allows you to optimize routes, speed up work and reduce unnecessary costs, which reduces crop losses due to faster and better field processing.
