First, it 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, the company says.
Pöttinger has already 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’s Row Crop Assist optimises the set-up of mechanical crop-care machines.
The objective of all the Pöttinger Assist applications is to optimise farming processes using intuitive on-screen visualisation 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. 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, according to Pöttinger. The Flexcare row crop cultivator optimally prepares farmers and contractors for the future. The unbeatable 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 utilisation.
The Row Crop Assist applications provides 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.
