FIELDSTAR for Planters

The FIELDSTAR system comes as standard equipment with the MF 555 hydraulic-drive 12-row planters, providing full control and monitoring of all planter functions from the FIELDSTAR terminal.

Equipped with a GPS system, the FIELDSTAR terminal will also adjust the seed rate on-the-move to match a variable treatment plan created to match the soil type and nutrients, crop variety and other agronomic influences.

   

This allows users to sow the precise seed requirement to match each part of the field’s yield potential. At the same time, the system records an accurate as-applied map of the varied seed rates, which can then be used to keep field records up-to-date and provide traceability.

Features and benefits

Implement control and monitoring
FIELDSTAR will control and monitor both the tractor and a range of different implements.

Variable rate treatment
One of FIELDSTAR’s most powerful features, when coupled to GPS is the system’s ability to allow users to vary input application rates according to pre-defined treatment plans.

Job Planning
Job planning software enables the user to manage resources and plan jobs on a farm office PC and then transfer these to the appropriate farm vehicle.

Transferable between equipment
FIELDSTAR and DGPS system components can be transferred between vehicles such as tractors and combines.

Traceability
By automatically logging the application, FIELDSTAR allows users to demonstrate exactly how the crop was grown and what treatments it has received and when.

Performance data
FIELDSTAR’s automatic datalogger provides accurate record keeping for farm management purposes.

Markers
Markers or ‘flags’ can be used to record the position of objects or features in a field, such as weeds, soil sample site or telegraph poles and footpaths.
