Sep 26, 2017GPS guidance upgrade available for Zimmatic 9500L
Lindsay has introduced a new GPS Guidance option for the Zimmatic 9500L in order to give growers precise and maintenance-free lateral tracking.
“This exciting new product gives growers the ability to navigate their Zimmatic lateral systems with sub-inch accuracy and make real time adjustments to the run path and end points,” said Christopher Higgins, Zimmatic product manager at Lindsay.
Available for Zimmatic 9500L systems, the GPS Guidance option is intended for installations where furrow or wire guidance are not ideal or are difficult to maintain. Easy path management allows users to set virtual hose stops and/or service stops quickly and easily and real time RTK correction ensures that the machine will always be where it should be.
Lindsay says other benefits include:
- Dual Channel RTK delivers the fastest start-up times and most precise position accuracy.
- It eliminates the need for costly repair or replacement of above ground guidance wires damaged by equipment or wildlife.
- A single GPS base station can be shared by multiple 9500L systems within operational distance limits.
- A simple retrofit, it can easily be installed onto any existing Zimmatic 9500L system.
