Ag Management Solutions : GreenStar™ Parallel Tracking
The GreenStar™ Parallel Tracking System is a manual steering system that can be utilised in spraying, seeding, and tillage applications.
The GreenStar™ Parallel Tracking System can be utilised in three different modes:
Straight Track mode guides operators down straight parallel lines. Straight Track mode is set by the first pass known as Track 0, this is done by establishing an A point and a B point or by setting an A point and a degree heading. The system will snap a straight line using those two points and create parallel lines on each side of the Track 0 line.
Curve Track mode allows the operator to drive a tractor or sprayer back-and-forth contours, racetrack contours, or centre pivot contours without any additional inputs. Curve Track mode starts recording a pass when users push the “start recording” key and will remember each last pass driven. The display shows which direction to steer and optional audible tones are optional.
RowFinder mode is designed for use with standing row-crop applications. It helps guide operators into the correct row after each pass, eliminating the task of counting rows. RowFinder mode allows the operator to setup the tracking system then press the RowFinder key at the end of each pass and the display will guide the operator back into the appropriate row based upon the setup width.
Other features include:
Aerial View - provides a high-level screen view of where the operator needs to steer. This is useful at the end of each pass and in Curved Track mode
