AutoFarm © RighTrac ™ Offers Repeatable Performance at Low Cost
Provides farmers with an auto steering system that is accurate, repeatable and affordable
Menlo Park, Calif, USA—December 14, 2006
AutoFarm® announced today that it has introduced AutoFarm® RighTrac ™ advanced GPS steering. AutoFarm RighTrac offers farmers an advanced GPS steering product featuring three inch accuracy and repeatability at the price of $16,500.
“AutoFarm is very pleased to offer AutoFarm RighTrac to growers,” says Tom Morgan, vice president of marketing for AutoFarm, “In developing AutoFarm RighTrac, we believe we’ve created a GPS steering system with the most advanced features at an affordable price. For the first time, corn and soybean growers can get into a highend system for $16,500.”
AutoFarm RighTrac Provides Repeatability
AutoFarm RighTrac offers farmers a GPS steering product featuring a high level of repeatability previously only available on more expensive systems. Repeatability is the ability to perform an action in the same manner as it was done previously. Related to GPS steering, it is getting the exact spot or line of where a grower wants to accomplish an action and the ability to come back to that same spot or line over and over again to perform other actions. Repeatability allows a grower to use the same line every time they work their fields – operation after operation, year after year.
AutoFarm RighTrac - Easy to Install and Upgrade
AutoFarm RighTrac advanced GPS steering system is easy to install on most new and used tractors, sprayers and harvesters types representing differing makes and models. AutoFarm RighTrac can also be easily moved for use in different tractors, sprayers and harvesters – even across brands. The visual display is designed to fit neatly in any cab. The roof module is easily transferable between vehicles with simple tools, and requires about 15 minutes.
“We’ve made AutoFarm RighTrac as easy as possible to install and use,” says
Morgan.
“GPS steering systems are being quickly adopted throughout agriculture and the AutoFarm RighTrac provides high level technology at an affordable price” says Morgan. “Typical savings from GPS steering systems are around 5 percent of input costs due to decreased fuel use as well as reduction in chemical and fertilizer use. When you combine these cost savings along with a grower’s ability to have more accurate placement of seeds, chemical and fertilizer, it makes a lot of sense to have a GPS steering system.”
