How Petar Dinkov from Sredishte improved the quality of his sowing with Trimble GFX-750

This year, sowing on the farm of Petar Dinkov in the village. Sredishte, Silistra, was carried out with the latest model of navigation display Trimble GFX-750 complete with Autopilot control system.After several years of working with one of Trimble's basic navigation displays - EZ-Guide 250, Petar Dinkov decided to purchase a new navigation model that would allow him to perform the manipulations with 2 cm accuracy. It plans to still use the available EZ-Guide 250 for operations such as fertilization, but for other agrotechnical events where accuracy is paramount, it will rely on its all-new navigation display. Through it, Peter will increase the accuracy of sowing and spraying, reducing the deviations from the A-B line to less than 2 cm. The new equipment helps Peter to carry out the sowing in a short time without affecting the results and observing gaps or overlays.The time saved allows him to use the good weather conditions at the end of April for other operations such as spraying and fertilizing the autumn plants. “In addition to time, it also saves costs. Definitely, the display is an investment that has a quick return” — shares Petar. During this agricultural year, he intends to use the navigation of two machines one at a time, moving it from machine to machine in the different treatments. This is actually one of the advantages of the most advanced Android-based navigation on the market. Easy movement between machines, which happens extremely quickly and is possible even without the intervention of service specialists.The GFX-750 navigation works on the same principle as the EZGuide 250, Peter assures us, which helps the extremely fast adaptation of the mechanizers to the new device in the cabin, as well as the smooth transition to more modern technology. Automatic control, which is a novelty in the farm of Peter Dinkov, has already become an indispensable assistant when sowing. With its help, the mechanizer can spend much more time and attention to monitor the quality of the tilling.Years ago, when creating two of his gardens with cherry plantations, Petar Dinkov used GPS equipment - control Trimble AutPilotTM to sow young trees more precisely. GPS equipment provides it with higher accuracy, easier determination of the locations of saplings and significantly shortens the time for shaping the garden. Today, GPS equipment is an indispensable part of the technique in its base! See what else the farmer tells about his work with the new display:
