AutoLevel makes GPS-based land leveling easy
AutoLevel is a very precise automatic control system for land leveling
equipment. The system uses signals from the global positioning satellites to
automatically raise or lower the land-leveling scraper as it is pulled through
a field with a tractor. AutoLevel is controlled by a touch screen in the
tractor cab and does not require a highly skilled tractor driver. The accuracy
of the system is actually better than existing land-leveling systems since it
takes into account the curvature of the earth. It is not affected by fog or
dust, thus allowing 24 hour a day operation and leveling accuracy is constant
throughout the entire working day. It utilizes a portable base station with a
range of up to 9.7 kilometers (6 miles) which allows large fields to be leveled
without moving the base station. It can be used with either wheel or track type
tractors.
