AUTOMATIC WHEEL FOLLOWING SYSTEM FOR KUHN TRAILED SPRAYERS
KUHN has introduced an automatic steering axle system as an option on its Metris 2 and Oceanis 2 trailed sprayers to enable more precise driving and reduce crop damage when spraying .
FITTING a machine with steering axle technology is usually a time-consuming task , with brackets to make and the linkage to attach to the rear of the tractor . The Track Assist system greatly simplifies the process by replacing the mechanical connection with a gyroscopic sensor , which is simply fixed to the rear of the tractor with a magnet . The gyroscopic sensors detect the steering angle of the tractor and the sprayer follows the tractor ’ s trajectory .
Simple to fit and easy to use , Track Assist has a wide operating angle of 23 degrees ( 28

degrees on the Oceanis 2 ). The system also activates across a wide forward speed range , from 2km / hr up to 22km / hr , to ensure efficacy working at the headlands and safety when in transport mode . The Track Assist system also realigns the sprayer with the tractor when reversing , to increase the ease of manoeuvrability .
Track Assist is priced the same as a mechanical wheel following system for these KUHN sprayers . t : 07779 793 039 | e : tfawcett @ russells . uk . com russells . uk . com
