Description
AGROSAT - Assistance to the GPS guidance of tractors for the application of fertilizers and herbicides. AGROSAT is an electronic GPS-based device that installed on a tractor informs of the treated and untreated areas. AGROSAT is particularly suitable for fertilizer spreaders, suspended and dragged, since it allows to maintain the distance of the previous pass. It can also be used in herbicide equipment and other agricultural implements with a high working width.Other information
