The Precision Team

Aiming for the future

More precise – More site-specific – More environmentally friendly

The arable farming system, crop rotation, use of plant protection and fertiliser, soil tillage strategy and sowing process are all put to the test. Modern fertiliser and crop protection technology are the basis for perfect plant care and maximum yields. Our goal is to keep your crops healthy in a cost-effective and efficient manner so that you can optimise your yields.

A wide range of innovative machines for fertilisation, plant protection and hoeing with cutting-edge precision technology is now available. This "extra” precision means that you use "less” fertiliser and plant protection agent. The rates and distribution can be tailored to the requirements on a part-area, site-specific basis by means of sensor systems and application maps. In addition to the economic benefits, you protect the environment and make it considerably easier for the driver.

This brochure will provide you with information about the new potentials which our fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers and hoes already offer you today in precision agriculture.

More precision – ZA-V

Mounted spreader • 1,400 l – 4,200 l • 10 m – 36 m

Profis weighing technology:
Precise monitoring and control of the application rate using the 200 Hz weighing technology and the tilt sensor. No calibration. Just enter the spread rate and drive away with perfect monitoring of the tank level at all times.

Intelligent agitator:
The agitator stars are positioned over the low-lying outlet opening and ensure a continuous fertiliser flow. When the shutter slides are closed on both sides, the agitator speed is reduced to protect the fertiliser.

GPS-Switch:
The automatic part-width section control with to 16 part-width sections guarantees precise switching on wedge shaped fields and at the headland. Outer part-width sections can also be controlled – this increases precision and makes it easier for the driver.

Limiter V⁺:
The sensitive electrical adjustment of the Limiter V⁺ border spreading device to the respective field boundary enables comfortable switching between field-side, border and water course spreading from the tractor cab during fertiliser application.

EasyCheck - Precise spreading made easy!

Easy optimisation of the lateral distribution with the digital mobile test kit. Lay out the test mats, spread the fertiliser, photograph with a smartphone, analysis of the lateral distribution in the App and recommendation for a corrected spreader adjustment. EasyCheck

mySpreader App

More precision – ZA-TS

Mounted spreader • 1,400 l – 4,200 l • 15 m – 54 m

Unique WindControl system:
In accordance with Prof. Dr. Karl Wild of the University of Applied Sciences, Dresden, WindControl enables the influence of the wind on the spread pattern to be constantly monitored and compensated for by a wind sensor. This means that an optimum spread pattern can be created, even in challenging wind conditions.

Profis weighing system:
Profis weighing system for controlling the application rate via a 200 Hz online weighing system – no more calibration! 
NEW: ProfisPro weighing system with FlowControl combines the advantages of the weighing system with the torque monitoring of each spreading disc – a precise application rate from the very first second!

More precision – Hoeing technology

Mechanical weed control • Working widths up to 9 m

Shift frame:
Parallel or linear shifting for precise guidance of the hoe through the rows. The parallel shift frame reduces lateral forces to a minimum. With a movement range of 640 mm, precise working across slopes without offsetting the tractor is no longer a problem.

No losses in yield due to heavy soil compaction:
An extremely light design means that an 8-row hoe with a 75 cm row spacing weighs less than 1,400 kg in spite of the shift frame.

Camera-based row guidance:
