Automatic part-width section control

For precise working right down to the tip

Part-width section control systems are a familiar standard in chemical plant protection and fertiliser application. They are also used for mechanical weed control. The use of hydraulic cylinders on all parallelograms ensures that the soil engaging metal is lifted with pinpoint accuracy here. This function is of particular benefit in the headland area and in wedge-shaped fields.

The system documents the area being worked during the hoeing process. In this way, it documents each worked section for future operations, e.g. if the hoe was to pass over this area again, it would lift the corresponding parallelogram fully automatically.

The system is controlled via the AmaTron 4 terminal as standard or alternatively via any other ISOBUS-compatible terminal.

The following practical advantages are provided:

• Minimal weed growth due to maximisation of the hoed area
• Higher forward speeds on the headland
• Less strain on the driver through automation of the lifting
• Full documentation of the work process
