It is now well known that agriculture is undergoing a total transformation compared to the methods and tools used just a few decades ago. Precision farming has forcefully entered the life of the modern farmer. In this context, satellite guidance systems for tractors are at the forefront of all the new technologies serving agriculture. By reducing overlaps during operations, efficiency increases while fuel consumption is slightly reduced, contributing to sustainability. In addition to reducing fuel consumption, there is also a significant reduction in chemical products due to overlaps during operations with sprayer machines.
There are many brands available, from the most famous ones such as Trimble, Topcon, John Deere, to emerging ones like FjDynamics, Cereagps, ChcNav.
The operator's tasks are lightened, allowing them to focus on monitoring equipment during work. It is possible to work in the presence of a lot of dust, which makes it almost impossible to work in certain types of soil. Night work is greatly facilitated during periods of intense activity. Finally, satellite GPS RTK guidance allows the adoption of the minimum tillage technique called strip till. Only the strip where the seeds of the new crop are planted is worked. In this way, fuel consumption and the time needed to plant crops are greatly reduced, as well as reducing soil erosion and increasing the availability of organic matter.
