- Compatible with previous LD-Agro row guidance systems
With hydraulic steering wheel control you can achieve more precise work and significant saving of seeds, chemicals and fertilisers. The autopilot system increases efficiency, reduces operator fatigue, machine wear and ensures precision farming 24 hours a day with an accuracy of +/-2cm. Due to hydraulic steering wheel control this is a solution for the most precise and most direct steering. Due to quick reacting it can be also used in hilly areas and for such work operations, during which the machine may drift.
Of course, yes! If the agricultural power machine does not have a hydraulic steering valve for agricultural machine control, individual hydraulic mounting kits are available depending on the machine type. With these mounting kits the agricultural machine control can be installed almost on any type tractors, combines and self-propelled sprayers. As the hydraulic steering is the fastest and most direct, so the autopilot can be used during any work operations even in hilly areas.
Yes, with signal of +-2 cm accuracy, and in addition to this the agricultural machine control also saves a lot of expenditures. Under the right circumstances, without autopilot you can sow with good accuracy even with a track tracer but in this case, in practice, everyone is rather working with some redundancy (5-10 cm). Since tramlines may contain even 4-5 rows, therefore the distance between tramlines can be shorter even by 40-50 cm. Without using an autopilot, overlaps and double spreading occur during each work operation leading to unnecessary consumption of considerable quantities of chemicals, fuel, operation hours and working hours!
Therefore, using an agricultural machine control these expenditures can be significantly reduced, the work can be performed in less time and thus the land performance will grow. Additionally, when using an autopilot, the adjacent passes will be perfectly parallel, whether moving in a straight line or curve. With the help of automatic steering system you can precisely work in any visibility conditions, such as fog, dust, or even at night!
The heart of the LD-Agro agricultural machine control is the ECU central control unit. It ensures precise processing of GPS signals for the steering wheel control. The integrated compass, gyroscope and accelerometer, in a unique way on the market, correct the tilt angle due to nine-axis inertial sensors.
Another important element of the LD-Agro Hydraulic autopilot is the control valve. This hydraulic valve receives precise commands in the form of electric signals from the LD-Agro ECU central control unit. Based on these commands the control valve keeps the course.
Another important part of the LD-Agro agricultural machine control is the LD-Agro GeoD20 GPS receiver ensuring the return with +-2 cm accuracy. This two-phase GPS receiver with correction signals from RTK base station or NTRIP provider is capable of providing the required precision of the agricultural machine control.
A useful complement to the agricultural machine control is the LD-Agro foot switch, which greatly simplifies the operator's work. Using the LD-Agro foot switch, it is not necessary to touch the display to turn on the automatic steering system.
