Modern agriculture requires maximum precision, resource conservation and high productivity, and manual control of equipment doesn’t always meet the requirements. Errors in tractor movement lead to gaps, overlaps, excessive fuel consumption and equipment wear, which increases costs and reduces yields. That is why more and more farmers are switching to automatic steering, which allows to hold a precise trajectory, reducing the load on the operator and optimizing work in the field.

TOP 5 advantages of automatic steering
Manual control of equipment requires constant concentration of the operator, and even an experienced driver can make mistakes due to fatigue, limited visibility or difficult terrain. Automatic steering eliminates the influence of the human factor, ensuring stable precision of movement regardless of external conditions and the state of the operator. Below are the 5 main advantages of automatic steering.
1. Eliminating errors while driving
Automatic steering keeps the tractor on the intended path, eliminating overlaps and gaps that often occur with manual driving. This allows to use fertilizers, seeds and chemicals rationally, reducing costs and increasing work efficiency.
2. Optimizing routes and reducing fuel consumption
The system automatically calculates the most efficient route, which reduces unnecessary runs and reduces fuel consumption. Optimized driving also reduces the load on the engine, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing repair costs.
3. Reduced operator fatigue
Manual driving of tractor requires constant concentration, especially on large fields or in difficult conditions. Automatic steering reduces the load on the driver, allowing him to work more comfortably and longer without the risk of errors due to fatigue.
4. Possibility of operation in poor visibility
At night, in fog or in heavy rain, farmers have difficulty navigating the terrain, which can lead to improper field treatment. The automatic steering system ensures precise movement even in conditions of limited visibility, allowing work without downtime.
5. Minimizing wear and tear on equipment
Automatic steering ensures smooth turns and eliminates abrupt maneuvers, reducing the load on the steering system, transmission and chassis of the tractor. The system minimizes slippage and eliminates unnecessary movement adjustments, which reduces deterioration of tires and working mechanisms. In addition, optimized routes reduce equipment mileage, reducing fuel consumption and extending the service life of equipment.
Why is automatic steering with FieldBee PowerSteer a profitable solution?
FieldBee PowerSteer is an innovative automatic steering system that combines high accuracy, convenience and economy. Thanks to RTK correction and integration with field maps, PowerSteer helps to avoid gaps, overlaps and unnecessary runs, which significantly reduces resource losses and increases yields. The system reduces the load on the operator, allowing him to work longer without fatigue, and automatic control makes agricultural work more predictable and efficient.
Easy installation and compatibility with a variety of tractor models make PowerSteer an affordable solution for farmers looking to reduce costs, increase productivity and get the most out of their fields.
