2022 LaForge DynaTrac® Premium

Economical, simple, and unique, the universal guidance interface DynaTrac is compatible with all models of tractors equipped with an RTK (or camera) guidance system and fits with all implements.

Capitalizing on several years of R & D and sales in the United States and Europe, DynaTrac range of interface makes it possible to follow the tractor path with any implement. It allows using standard implements and reaping the benefits of precision farming at every stage of the crop.

DynaTrac® PREMIUM has a lateral shift of 25 centimeters on each side but doesn’t fit implements requiring PTO. It is very suitable to drive a row crop cultivator or any implement without PTO connection.

Features may include:

Why DynaTrac® ?

• GPS tractor guidance benefits are recognized by farmers around the world. They ensure repeatable tractor positioning but implements never trail perfectly behind the tractor.

• Reasons for implements inability to follow the tractor accurately :

• Slopes where the implement drifts, driven by its weight

• Flat fields – implements can drift laterally due to:

• Uneven soil condition across implement working width

• Unsymmetrical pull due to implement configuration

• Efficiency: a DynaTrac® interface coupled with a guidance system (GPS or camera) allows farms to instantly get ready for precision farming with their current range of implements and the ones to come.

• Simplicity: the user only needs to understand and set up one kind of interface instead of a specific one for each implement.

• Savings: Compatible with all tractors and all implements in the marketplace, the DynaTrac® adds the guidance function to standard implements. It is an economical solution instead of buying an implement-dedicated guidance function on each implement.

• Agronomy (some examples):

• Strip-till implement guided to only till area to be seeded, allowing to reduce fuel consumption and limit soil disturbance. Place seeds at a later stage accurately by guiding planter with DynaTrac® as well.

• Planting with regular spacing between rows on the whole field allowing:

• Mechanical termination of weeds (cultivator). Possibility to work even at early / late stage of plant growth, in windy or in poor light conditions because of GPS signal.

• Harvest optimized and fast with no guess rows and harvester guided by seeding line.

• Efficient bedding and planting of vegetables- thanks to accuracy preventing overlaps and poor positioning which generate yield losses.

• Fertilizer applied as close as possible to the roots, whatever the growth stage of the plant. Savings for the farmer and decrease of fertilizer application rate positive for the environment.

• Drip irrigation:

• allows to position irrigation tapes precisely and then plant close to them to boost yields while limiting water consumption.

• Allows subsequent operations without damaging irrigation tapes grids.

• Eficient : guarantees working precision of the rear implement at each step of the crop

• Cost effective : guidance function is purchased only once and can be used with all farm’s implements

• Optimized mechanical weeding : eliminates the constraints of camera guidance as it doesn’t require the crop to be visible :

• Before crop emergence

• In tricky visual conditions

• When the camera cannot discriminate weeds from the crop
