If the operating terminal features Section Control, such as, for example, GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the switching of the part-width sections can be carried out completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.
Benefits of automatic part-width section control:
- Stress relief on the driver
- Increase in precision especially at night or at higher speeds
- Fewer overlaps and gaps
- Saving on input costs
- Less crop damage and less environmental pollution
“With Section Control, the ISOBUS computer relieves the driver from a lot of work.”

Up to 85 %* less overlap in comparison to conventional Section Control part-width section switching, e. g. on the headland
* Savings are dependent on field structure, boom width and the number of part-width sections
