PTx Trimble Solution Addressing Labor Issues
Tired of waiting for help when its go time?
You are not alone… Waiting for help during harvest can not only throw a wrench in your day, but also can greatly impact your profit.
That’s where PTx Trimble comes in with its new OutRun technology.
OutRun is a retrofit autonomy kit that turns your tractor into a fully autonomous tool for harvesting.
The tractor is controlled from inside the combine cab, where it can be signaled to perform certain tasks in the field such as pick up, drop off, and where to stay stationed.
The system employs a sophisticated path planning algorithm to follow the combine's path, minimizing unnecessary travel and optimizing fuel consumption.
One of the standout features of OutRun is its "ready to fill" functionality. This feature enables the grain cart to automatically align itself for efficient unloading on the go.
Additionally, operators can adjust the unloading location within the cart to accommodate different field conditions and storage requirements.
After unloading, the grain cart autonomously returns to standby mode, ready for the next task or truck unloading. This level of automation not only saves time and labor but also reduces the risk of human error.
By automating critical grain cart operations, OutRun offers numerous benefits to farmers.
It increases efficiency, reduces labor costs, and improves overall productivity.
