iTANK fi lling level and
fl ow rate measuring system
The relatively low-price iTank
system from Kotte measures
both the fi lling level in liquid
manure tankers and the fl ow
rate.
These measurements make it
possible to switch off automatically
during fi lling operations.
Alternatively, the spreading rate
per hectare and a range can be
calculated and displayed during
fi eld work.

Expanded i-solutions
for John Deere plant
protection sprayers
John Deere is expanding its
trailed implements of series
700i and 800i to include functions
aimed at precise tank fi lling,
more precise spraying of the
residual quantities remaining in
the equipment, and improved
cleaning and spreading of the
residual liquids. The central operating
terminal is the Green-
Star 2600 for setting, monitoring
and executing known
functions. The new integrated
Tank Fill Calculator calculates
the necessary quantity of water
and pesticides necessary for
the specifi c tank fi lling (even if
it is not yet completely emptied
or for remaining residual areas).
The necessary water and agent
quantities are printed out on a
sheet. With the aid of GPS controlled
application, the remaining
area still to be treated can
be determined exactly and the
quantities of water and pesticide
required for this are ascertained.
If these quantities are dosed exactly,
residual quantities can be
reduced to a minimum. The Auto
Dilute System takes over sub-

equipment that is executed automatically,
regardless of whether
cleaning and spraying are to
be carried out in accordance
with pre-selected dilution factors
(1:6 or 1:100) or in a continuous
operation. The system offers
the following advantages:
- Distinct relief of the burden
on the user by reducing the
risk of operating faults
- Reduction of remaining residual
quantities and environmental
pollution
- Avoidance of wrong dosing,
improved documentation
- Facilitated mixing of the desired
spray fl uid
- Continuous customer benefi ts
thanks to faster, exact fi lling,
cleaning and spraying

variable sprayer boom
The sprayer boom is built up in
segments and the boom width
can be varied in the working position
by extending or retracting
the segments. A asymmetrical
boom width is also possible.
Here the outer segments of the
spray boom remain in their out-
nozzles on the sprayer boom
easily visible during evening and
night time hours. Nozzles that
do not function soundly and
create incomplete or no spray
patterns can be identifi ed in this
way – in as far as they are visible
during spraying – and can
thus be cleaned or exchanged.
er position so that the functionality
of collision protection in
the pushed area is maintained
in full. The boom can easily
be adapted to different working
widths or tramline spacing.
Consequently any obstacles on
the fi elds can be cut out exactly
without having to veer from
the track.

Intelligent database for plant
protection agents with integrated
active suggestions on
the basis of the plant cultivation
software AGRO-NET
Integrating the Proplant database
with current day-to-day
information about all licensed
plant protection agents into the
Agro-Net plot fi le greatly facilitates
plant protection operations
for farm managers. By coupling
with the web-based database,
the user is not only on the safe
side as regards licensed products,
but is also actively supported in
selection of agents. In combination
with the plot fi le information
on plant stands, the fi eld
and its history are compared
with the indication list of the
plant protective agent database

A further advantage lies in the
fact that the plant stand to be
treated is visible to the driver
even beyond the working width
of the equipment so that he can
react to obstacles in good time.

with requirements laid down
under licensing law. The innovation
not only promotes safety,
but is also expected to save time
for stand management.

Smart-Braking-System
New Holland‘s ABS system
offers not only the generally
known safety benefi ts, but also
caters to the specifi c demands
of agriculture. For instance it
allows the popular individual
wheel braking and correspondingly
small turning radius during
headland operations for the
fi rst time. The inner wheel in
the bend is delayed specifi cally
in proportion to the steering angle
without causing any blockage
with damage to the track.
The system also serves as a starting
aid on hillsides, is gentle on
the soil and relieves the burden
on the driver.
