FieldPilot®
Mobile electronics
Assisted Steering with Precise Product Control
Better tools deliver better work and FieldPilot is the ultimate tool
for field application work. Merging assisted steering with precise
product control, FieldPilot will raise you to a new level of efficiency
while reducing costs.
Applicators and farmers who have used the system say that
FieldPilot is the best thing to happen to field application
equipment in more than 30 years. Machine guidance, product
control and even boom section on/off status are managed
automatically. This frees the operator to keep track of other critical
functions such as spray boom height, proper application patterns,
vehicle speed, and the status of the tank or hopper.
We keep it simple too. All functions are controlled through only
one console and simple, intuitive controls. This makes setup and
training easier and reduces the confusion of running multiple
systems side-by-side.
One Console Brings it Together
The console that ties the system together is the Legacy
®
6000. It has
a full-color display with resolution and brightness that stand out
even in direct sunlight. The Legacy 6000 regulates liquid, granular,
and anhydrous ammonia product application as well as seed
population control. All application data—including maps—are
stored for easy download and reporting when the job is complete.
Legacy 6000 manages assisted steering too. Choose parallel, circle
pivot, curved A-B, or headland guidance modes; then begin by
pressing a key on the console to mark the A-B points. After the
first pass is set, the operator makes the end-row turns manually,
and after lining up for the next pass, a quick tap of the foot switch
puts the machine back in assisted steering mode. The operator can
manually override the steering at any time, and when the vehicle
reaches a preset off-target distance, the system disengages.
Total Machine Control
For total machine automation, the Swath Manager function
integrates automatic boom section control for pinpoint accuracy
on row ends and especially on point rows. Any time a sprayer
section moves into a previously applied area, it is automatically
switched off. The chemical savings you will see from reduced
overlap will amaze you.
FieldPilot relies upon positioning from your choice of several GPS
receivers. DGPS receiver systems are available for Beacon, L-band,
or WAAS/EGNOS correction sources, and provide 6
9 –10 9 (10–25 cm)
pass-to-pass accuracy. Higher precision is available with Omnistar
HP or Omnistar XP receiver systems, providing pass-to-pass
accuracies of 2
9 –4 9 (5–10 cm). FieldPilot is compatible with most
GPS receivers that provide at least 5 Hz position updates.
FieldPilot will retrofit on most common sprayer, spreader, and
tractor chassis. A complete list is available from your TeeJet
representative or at www.TeeJet.com.
