ISOBUS Upgrade Enhances Harrows
Kuhns well regarded Optimer disc harrows are now ISOBUS compatible, which enables precision cultivation.
This new development is called Smart Soil Technology, and has won several awards at European trade shows.
All settings can now be controlled via the cab terminal (either the manufacturer supplied CCI terminals, or the tractors), and in addition the technology enables:
Automatic ground following adjustment, for even working depth across the machine width. Using pressure and position sensors on the wheel hydraulic cylinders, the system determines the optimum hydraulic pressure to ensure a consistent depth on uneven ground and at high speeds.
Section control – the controller enables automatic raising and lowering of the cultivator at the headland. The controller also offers the option of turning mode, either on the rear roller, or via the transport wheels.
