Precision agriculture solutions boost efficiencies

FJDynamics UK (FJD) is a global provider of precision agriculture solutions. By offering essential tools designed to streamline workflows and consistent precision, FJD says it helps to reduce inputs and increase productivity, ultimately enhancing profitability and efficiency of agricultural operations.

Electric autosteering systems

FJD provides two options for electric autosteering systems – AT1 and AT2 – which use electric motors to automate steering.

By reducing the need for manual control and providing precise guidance, these systems help to reduce labour costs, lower fuel consumption, and increase consistency in crop production. With these systems, FJD says you can deal with various working scenarios assisted by autosteering and positioning technologies, helping you achieve higher yields at lower costs. Key features include:

U-turn – Designed to seamlessly guide your tractor through smooth auto turns at the end of rows, it optimises manoeuvrability and ensures continuity in your day-to-day farming operations

Accuracy compensation – The autosteering systems support a wide range of speeds, from 0.1–26kph, to cater to various scenarios. It maintains an accuracy of 2.5cm to meet multiple farm demands, including working on a sloping terrain, executing low-speed tasks such as potato planting, and performing high-speed operations like crop protection and fertilising

The autosteer systems are useful for the majority of farming operations including cultivations, drilling, spraying and harvesting.

Hydraulic autosteering system

FJD also offers hydraulic autosteering solutions for those who prefer to keep their original steering wheel. The company says that by delivering outstanding automatic steering performance, its AHI hydraulic autosteer system boosts comfort and reduces fatigue, catering to different operator needs and preferences.

Integrating GNSS technology, the AH1 empowers agricultural machinery to effectively regulate steering oil, achieving 2.5cm steering accuracy.

Its robust force and quick responsiveness make it the perfect fit for large agricultural machinery that requires significant steering power, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency in field operations. Key features include:

Powerful steering for larger machinery – By directly and quickly driving the steering wheels through hydraulic power, AH1 is better suited for larger tractors and heavy-duty agricultural machinery

Enhanced steering efficiency – By keeping the steering wheel and steering column stationary during operation, the AH1 effectively minimises vibrations from rough terrain, ensuring precise and stable performance in uneven fields and high-speed modes

Wide compatibility – The AH1 is highly compatible with a wide range of agricultural machinery, including different tractor brands and heavy-duty equipment, and even those tractors whose steering wheels are difficult to remove

Terrain compensation – The AH1 maintains reliable accuracy even in challenging landscapes, including rolling terrains, slopes and rough ground.

Manual driving guidance system

In addition to the autosteering systems, FJD also offers a manual driving guidance system, providing decent path-planning functions at an “entry-level” price.

The AG1 manual guidance system integrates various positioning technologies (PPP RTK, SBAS), offering precise location accuracy of up to 2.5cm for manual steering and assisting users in staying on the planned path. With its simplified configuration and an entry-level price, it significantly boosts efficiency while keeping costs in check, providing a streamlined experience. Key features include:

Effortless installation – With only a guidance terminal and wirelessly connected GNSS receiver, you can effortlessly set it up and say goodbye to the hassle of a wired connection for a simplified, intuitive experience

Multiple accuracy solutions – In addition to general GNSS services, the system can deliver 10–20cm accuracy utilising PPP (Galileo and BeiDou supported) and 20–50cm accuracy by SBAS without the need for network or base station infrastructure. Additionally, exceptional positioning accuracy of 2.5cm can be achieved through RTK with network or base station

Isobus – With a wireless Isobus module, the system offers VT/TC capabilities, facilitating real-time monitoring and control of equipment. This streamlines essential tasks like seeding, fertilising and spraying, significantly boosting work efficiency and minimising waste

Versatile guidance lines – The AG1 offers a variety of guidance lines, including straight, curve, A+ line, pivot, and line group, catering to diverse field shapes and operational requirements, assisting operators in staying on the planned path.

Cambus for guidance-ready tractors has been newly released.
