Implement Guidance Systems

Benefits of Tractor Guidance

Precision agriculture operations depend on implement guidance to compensate for the inevitable implement drift that occurs when a row crop implement encounters side slopes, different soil compositions, and curved terrain. With precision implement guidance, you can now keep the tractor and implement on the same defined path year after year. The benefits of implement guidance include:

Precisely placed seed and nutrients increase yield
Eliminate crop damage from inaccurate tracking
Improve crop quality
Perfect guess rows for mismatched implement widths
Auto steer when spraying or sidedressing
Reduce operator fatigue
Create a more professional row appearance
Eliminate overlap of chemical, fertilizer, seed, and more

Take your row crop guidance to the next level with ProTrakker Guidance Systems. With universal mounting for different tractors and multiple implements, ProTrakker Hydraulic Hitches adapt to the unique qualities of your tractor and field. They ensure consistent implement tracking correction on virtually any setup or field application. These hydraulic hitches boost yields by helping you achieve sub-inch accuracy — allowing you to maximize profits and avoid crop damage from off-track implements.

Implement Hitches with Quick Installation and a Lasting Impact

ProTrakker hydraulic hitches are built from the highest quality materials and made to be easily installed in 30-minutes or less, depending upon model size or accessories. The low-maintenance ProTrakker hydraulic hitch is engineered for easy setup and reliable performance year after year.

How ProTrakker Implement Guidance Systems Work

Implement guidance systems like ProTrakker’s hydraulic implement hitches give operators more control over bailout and drift when the implement moves in the opposite direction of the pulling vehicle. ProTrakker offers the flexibility to customize the hydraulic hitch implement guidance system to fit your active guidance needs.

Dual cylinders adjust to either direction in order to keep your implements from trailing into your crops, which causes costly damage. You gain as much as 13” of off-line correction in either direction to help you stay on track. Click here to watch a short video on the ProTrakker range of movement.

“Ag Implement Hitches Compatible with Nearly All Tractors

Whether you’re working with planters, side-dressers, or almost any other implement, ProTrakker’s GPS-ready implement guidance will bring more precision to your precision agriculture operation. Our hydraulic hitches are available for tractors and implements that range from 80 to 500 HP, and can mount to a drawbar or three-point hitch. These adaptable features make it easier to pair your hydraulic hitch with nearly all implements for precision agriculture application.

ProTrakker’s hitches and implement control options add precision across your farming operation. Common implement uses include:

Wide Range of Planters
Strip-Till Machines
Pull-Type Sprayers
Anhydrous Side-Dressers
Pull-Type Cultivators
and Many Other Implements
