System programming

In order to program the device to work, the user has
several methods to choose from, to be used as needed, they are:

Record and play

Recording and saving of a reference route; subsequent runs will be performed automatically with reference to the data recorded when creating the program.

A and B points setting

Setting of points A and B on the map, determination of the section along which the tractor will drive and setting the distance from the section A-B along which the tractor will perform parallel runs.

Circle around the field

Circle around the field (applies to flat areas not planted with trees) to define the outer perimeter of the plot; the system will perform a simulation and design a spiral route in order to cover the entire area located within the circumference.

Uploading digital maps

Uploading digital maps of plantations with marked reference points, plantings and fences.

Installation

The ability to fully control the operating parameters of any tractor is provided by specially prepared drives, sensors and control units, installed in the appropriate places of the machine. Thanks to the unification of the system components used by GOtrack, each tractor is equipped with standardized GOtrack components.

The system is completely electric, it does not use any of the tractor’s pneumatic and hydraulic systems as a source. The location of the individual components of the Auto DRIVE system is shown in the graphic below.

Each kit includes a wireless sprayer module
which controls valves and sensors build in the sprayer.
