If the operating terminal facilitates Section Control, such as GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections are activated completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and once 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
