Why GPS or camera tractor guidance benefits are recognized by farmers around the world.While ensuring repeatable tractor positioning, it highlights that implements never trail perfectly behind the tractor. This prevents farmers from achieving the full potential of precision farming.

Reasons for implements inability to follow the tractor accurately :● Slopes● Flat fields - implements can drift laterally due to: ○ Uneven soil condition across implement working width ○ Unsymmetrical pull due to implement configuration

is a key link between the active implement guidance system and the implement by adjusting its lateral position.

It guarantees a high level of accuracy for the implement.

It operates with any brand of Active Implement Guidance providing correction instructions.

Position any implement with precision and repeatability to benefit from precision farming practices generating:

- Higher yields- Improved productivity- Operational savings- Reduced operator fatigue

benefits:

- Reduced inputs by eliminatingoverlap of fertilizer, seed, chemicaland tillage operations

guidance interface !

The universal guidance interfacesyou’ve been waiting for!

Suitable for high-power range tractors, DynaTrac® ULTIMA features an exclusive design allowing it to receive all implements, including those requiring PTO compatibility.

• Travel range : 50 cm / 20’’ • PTO drive line compatibility : YES • Max power tractor : 400 HP

Suitable for medium-power range tractors, DynaTrac® PREMIUM+ features an exclusive design allowing it to receive all implements, including those requiring PTO compatibility.

• Travel range : 30 cm / 12’’ • PTO drive line compatibility : YES • Max power tractor : 200 HP

- High accuracy guidance system: GPS- User interface- Application controller

- Wiring harness and control valve- 1 GPS receiver on the implement- DynaTrac® can also be operated with camera guidance system

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

DynaTrac® CLASSIC is ideal for pulled implements (may require an adapter depending on implement tongue connection).

• Travel range : 50 cm / 20’’ • PTO drive line compatibility : NO • Max power tractor : 400 HP

DynaTrac® PREMIUM has a lateral shift of 25 centimeters on each side but doesn't fit implements requiring PTO. It is very suitable to drive a row crop cultivator or any implement without PTO connection.

• Travel range : 50 cm / 20’’ • PTO drive line compatibility : NO • Max power tractor : 200 HP

● VERSATILE GUIDED HITCH, COMPATIBLE WITH : ○ Pulled, semi-mounted and carried implements → no need to purchase a specific, costly implement ○ Tractors equipped with an active implement guidance system ○ PTO driven implements

● BRINGS ACTIVE IMPLEMENT GUIDANCE BENEFITS TO ALL IMPLEMENTS: ○ Economical → no need to buy an interface for each implement (cultivator, planter, ridger, bedder, sprayer, etc.) ○ Simple → only one software and interface to handle. Same standard software as for pulled implements ○ Profitable → reap precision farming benefits at each stage of the crop:

■ Tillage (strip-till, bedder, etc.)■ Planting (place row precise to guidance line, enjoy uniform row spacing pass to pass)■ Row crop cultivation (less crop damage, better mechanical weed control)■ Interseeding (seed between cover crop rows or seeding into growing crop)■ Slurry application (slurry tanker)■ Spraying (less overlap, less crop damage, higher ground speeds to cover more acres in a day)■ Side dressing (precision fertilizer placement in the root zone)■ Drip irrigation■ Harvesting (less crop loss from pushing the row with the header and no need to match planter and header width)

■ Fruits / Vegetables ■ High value crops (potatoes, sugar beets, peanuts, etc.) ■ Row crops■ Small grains (wheat, rice, etc.)

○ Universal → ideal for all crops:

● Top productivity! I can run higher ground speeds and cover more acres in a day with my sprayer because the row is true and I can trust my guidance to keep the sprayer off the crop

● Great accuracy! Eliminates guess rows! I don’t have any issues running a 12 row corn head and a 16 row planter because the rows are uniformly spaced pass to pass

● Worth it! This is truly a solution that pays you back all year long because of its accuracy in keeping the planter where it should be

● Very efficient! It makes the process of growing seed corn easier with multiple passes across a field and equipment matching up to rows (male rows are planted later than female rows, multiple sprayer passes, mechanical detassler pass, mowing down male rows)

● Gives me flexibility! Allows me to strip till and plant between my cover crop rows and be able to terminate at a later date.

SATELLITE GUIDANCE

VISION GUIDANCE

Efficient : guarantees working precision of the rear implement at each step of the cropCost effective : guidance function is purchased only once and can be used with all farm’s implementsOptimized mechanical weeding : eliminates the constraints of camera guidance as it doesn’t require the crop to be visible : • Before crop emergence • In tricky visual conditions • When the camera cannot discriminate weeds from the crop

Great fit to guide only a mechanical weeder and offered as option, the Vision pack (DynaTrac & Camera) is: • Universal : can be used with all kind of row crop cultivators (new, already owned, etc.) • Profitable : guidance function is purchased only once and can be used with several RC ;;;;;;;;;;;Cultivators with different row spacing (corn, sugar beet, cereals, etc.). • Performance : ■ Working accuracy increased as no interference of tractor and implement movements ■ Less wear of working elements as they always move to the front, even when shifting

• Flexible : Once guidance benefits are validated with Camera guided RC cultivator, user ............can switch to GPS guidance

Free vertical float Sway control cylinder:

Feed back sensorFree lower arm sway is a patented feature, decoupling the implement motion from the tractor:

● When on side hill, the lower side tire deflects more that the upper side tire. Consequently, the tractor is no longer parallel to the ground.

● DynaTrac® vertical float allows implement to follow ground contour

● Free sway at work with 3-point implement ● Lock during transport and with 2-point implement● Cylinder operation is easily managed with automated tractor sequences

● Avoid side load on implement → no damage to the implement nor implement getting locked in the ground● Better steering response of the tractor and better handling of slope / curve than a rigid version● Perfect implement trailing. Tractor positioning corrections do not impact trailing

● Ensure accuratepositioning

Test 1:

Accuracy gains by actively guidingan Implement

Active Implement GuidanceNo Implement Guidance

Picture of a flat field planted :

It illustrates that, even on flat fields, implement position can drifts and needs to be actively guided to ensure an accurate positioning relatively to the tractor. This is a requirement to warrant efficiency in subsequent operations (such as inter row cultivation, side-dressing, etc.).

- First pass without Active Implement Guidance on the planter- Second pass 2 weeks later, in flooded zone, with Active Implement Guidance on the planter while following same tractor original A-B line.

Thanks to GPS guidance, the tractor always drives on the same path during successive operations in the field. Active Implement Guidance ensures same behavior for the implement.

It illustrates how actively guiding an implement consistently increases its accuracy,even on a flat field.

Test 2:

- RTK guided tractor- 24 rows planter localization in a field with less than 1° of roll angle (1 inch= 2.5cm)

• In organic farming, 60 to 70 % decrease of manual weeding cost by being able to cultivate closer to the plant (corn)

• Ease positioning and removal of plastic for planting and after melon harvesting season

• 30% decrease of fertilizer application while retaining same yield in corn thanks to accurate positioning of fertilizer • 50% yield increase by locating seeds close to water pipe in drip irrigation system • Gain of 35% in net potatoes yield by avoiding green potatoes + reducing damages and bruises on harvested potatoes as planting and harvest operations are perfectly centered
