Lightbar guidance

The Fieldstar Lightbar guidance option allows operators to effortlessly steer in precise straight lines or around curves while accurately matching up each bout with the preceding run. Using a DGPS system with the Fieldstar lightbar eliminates under- and overlapping with implements and allows equipment such as fertiliser spreaders, sprayers, drills, planters and cultivators to operated more efficiently. This saves both time and fuel.

The simple lightbar system with DGPS antenna and receiver is also flexible, being able to be quickly switched between different vehicles, such as combines and tractors, bringing guidance benefits to a wide range of operations.
