First, the system requests information on the planting process and the tractor that will be used for the crop care work. The application then shows the optimum row crop cultivator configuration in a way that is clear and accessible to everyone.
Pöttinger has already successfully implemented the Tramline Assist application for an optimum tramline system in arable farming. For harvesting grassland, Haytool Assist makes it quick and easy to find the right tedder to match different mowers. Building on this success, Pöttinger is now launching Row Crop Assist to optimise the set-up of mechanical crop care machines.
The objective of all the Pöttinger Assist applications is to optimize farming processes using intuitive on-screen visualization and outputting notification messages with recommendations. That’s how complex knowledge is tailored to specific use cases and displayed in a way that makes it easy to use.
Flexible solution
Even the basic version of the Flexcare row crop cultivator from Pöttinger adapts to the needs of all crop types, the crop row widths, and the site-specific conditions. The hoe elements and weeding tools can be adapted to different processing scenarios in just a few steps.
Because climatic, social and political conditions are continuously changing, there is increasing demand to rethink existing arable farming strategies. The flexibility of the row crop cultivator allows the farm to try out new crops and new planting systems without cost-intensive new purchases. This significantly lowers the barrier to start hoeing oil seed rape, field beans and cereals. In addition, it can be used for contract work and by machinery rings to increase machine utilization.
The Row Crop Assist applications provide support before and after buying a row crop cultivator to configure the machine in the best way possible depending on the seed drill and crop care technology used. The best working results depend on perfectly matched processes that minimise losses and make the best possible use of synergies. Maximum precision during the hoeing process is the key to the highest possible success in mechanical weed control. This can only be achieved by taking into account the previous sowing step.
The new Row Crop Assist is available under the menu item under the menu item Digital agricultural technology on the Pöttinger website from mid-July 2024.
