LASER PILOT.

The electro-optical sensors of the LASER PILOT use pulses of light to scan between the crop and stubble and guide the combine harvester automatically along the edge.

The LASER PILOT can be folded away for transport and, depending on the combine model, is available for both the left and right side of the cutterbar. Its optimal positioning on the cutterbar side close to the crop edge enables a good viewing angle and ensures high functional reliability even when working with laid crops, on slopes or at night.

How you benefit:

  • The LASER PILOT bracket can be adjusted with the panel key without needing tools
  • Easily configured via the LED display
  • Can be deployed and retracted without the use of tools
  • Available for the left and right side of the cutterbar
  • High functional reliability, even when operating in laid crops, in sloping terrain or in the dark
  • Operator is able to concentrate on harvesting process thanks to reduction in workload.
  • Greater precision for mapping areas and yields
  • Optimal use is made of the full width of the cutterbar
  • Increased seasonal performance

AUTO PILOT.

Two digital sensors incorporated in one of the snapping units record the position of the combine and automatically guide it on the best path through the rows of maize in all field conditions. Thus AUTO PILOT contributes to greater performance and efficiency.

How you benefit:

  • High functional reliability and safety regardless of visibility conditions
  • Optimal use of the full width of the cutterbar
  • Increased seasonal performance
  • Significant reduction in workload for the operator, enabling greater concentration on threshing
