Abstract

A steerage system for agricultural implements such as inter-row sprayers or cultivators comprises a GPS system located on the implement. The implement comprises a fixed bar which is attached to a tractor and a movable bar attached to the fixed bar. The moveable bar is moved by means of the GPS system sending a signal to two hydraulic valves which moves ram from one side to the other so that the implement follows the same path as one originally plotted by GPS when a seed drill/planter was previously used.

Description

Inter-Row Spraying and Inter-Row Cultivation GPS. Satellite Automatic Steerage System.
bescription The invention relates to a system that will automatically guide an Inter-row sprayer or cultivator through a crop and automatically steer from side to side and keep the Inter-row Sprayer/Inter-row Cultivator from damaging the crop.
There are automated steerage systems for Inter-row Cultivators these systems work by using cameras or rely on the automated steering system on the steering axle of the tractor.
The system which we have devised uses a &PS unit on the crop planter or seed drill to plot exactly where the rows of seeds are.
The Inter-row Sprayer or Cultivator would have the same &PS unit mounted so that it could follow the same track. This would then be connected to two hydraulic valves that operate a hydraulic ram from one side to the other so that the Inter-row Cultivator/Inter-row Sprayers follows the same line as the seed drill/planter. This makes the unit independent of the tractor.
