The agriculture family of laser products was developed by the pioneers in laser and grade control use in agriculture – Spectra Precision® – now Trimble Dayton. Accurate grade control ensures adequate crop irrigation or drainage for maximum yields, while reducing water and installation costs. The control of subsurface drainage machines results in improved drainage, high installation speed and the elimination of manual surveying and staking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3-D leveling system for water management

The Trimble® AgGPS® FieldLevel II system for water management can help keep water costs down and efficiently distribute water by maintaining grade.

Topographic Data can be collected via the AgGPS FmX™ integrated display while using the AgGPS Autopilot™ automated steering system, or connected to an RTK receiver stand-alone. Using the AgGPS 442 GNSS or AgGPS 432 receivers you can collect detailed topography data, allowing you to precisely match scrapers to the survey data when it is time to level. With the FmX integrated display you can run AgGPS Autopilot for accurate passes at the same time as FieldLevel II further maximizing the efficiency of your equipment.

With a topographic survey you can calculate a best-fit levelling and section the field using the AutoPlane functionality right on the display, or use the AgGPS MultiPlane software to design more complex scenarios in your office and import the design back into the FieldLevel II system.

When levelling the field, AgGPS FieldLevel II system will automatically raise and lower the blade on the scrapers based on the tractors location. Dirt will be moved to obtain the MultiPlane or AutoPlane design.
