CircleSteer fits center pivot irrigations systems
The AutoFarm CircleSteer system is for automatic steering of self-propelled agricultural machines in circular patterns. The system becomes part of the basic AutoFarm agricultural steering system and steers the machine automatically in a circular pattern. This fits the farming pattern where farmers use center pivot irrigation systems for irrigating and are actually farming fields that are circular in shape. The system uses the global positioning satellites and a separate field side base station to steer agricultural machines around the field irrigated by center pivot irrigation systems with sub-inch accuracy. It is controlled by a simple touch and screen-mounted in the cab of the machine, which has multilingual capabilities.
