Row guidance, consisting of a camera system and an offset slide mechanism, ensures precise guidance of the hoe in between the crop rows or in fields on hilly terrain.
The Horus Professional camera system ensures reliable recognition of the crop based on its position or, in 3D mode, based on the height differences. Recognition can also be provided by colour selection. The in-house developed SmartVision camera system guarantees reliable row guidance without manual readjustment thanks to its automatic slope correction, even on steep slopes. Both systems control the sliding frame in accordance with the forward speed. The operator can check the exact row guidance via a video image on the terminal at any time.
When working in beds, or at narrow working widths, that do not allow the camera to be positioned to the side of the tractor, the Venterra 1K, in its extended frame version, offers an optimal solution by allowing a clear field of view of the crop rows between the profile frame and the headstock.
A row sensor can be used in addition to the camera system. This is particularly suitable for passes of the hoe that are carried out to control late weed flushes or when sowing under sown crops. In the event of strong plant movement, such as in a crosswind, the sensor systems ensure precise guidance along the plant rows.
