Hear the Voice of the Customer for Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System
Alot of farming and good operating results cannot be achieved without a tractor auto steer system. Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System has accumulated many friendly customers from USA and Europe in the field of precision farming. We invited 6 representative customers to share their stories about the using experience of the F100 Auto Steer System. And we are grateful to each of them for their sharing of wonderful moments.
Affordable Auto Steer for Tractors
A French farmer (Vincent) who used the Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System on his tractor of Claas axion 870.
Vincent learned about Sveaverken through google and the lower purchase cost attracted his attention. So far, Vincent reports that the installation process of F100 Auto Steer for tractors is simpler and faster. "Easy to use, intuitive, and economical. No subscription required."
He started planting wheat and barley with the Sveaverken F100. The tractor fitted with the F100 makes farming easier for the farmer because he doesn't have to hold the steering wheel all the time. The F100 has the right amount of steering wheel torque and is very smooth. Vincent says he really likes the assisted driving mode. Other than that, what was surprising was the high accuracy of the 2.5cm navigation. The tractor going perfectly in a straight line is no longer a problem for him. It's a standard straight line. "I can see the tractor's route very clearly from the control terminal of the F100." He thinks it is a worthwhile investment for all farmers. It is an affordable auto steer for tractors.
Auto Steer for Older Tractors
Joe Schmitz, a farmer from the US using Sveaverken F100.
After installing the F100 Auto Steer System on the Joe's old John Deere, he said, "I feel like I have a new and smart tractor. The system is very stable and quite easy to use." When using the system to plant corn, he can set the width of the vehicle in the cockpit based on the measured width of the implements. So the tractor can plan its own route and drive itself according to the settings.
He said that the autosteer kit is really smart for achieving data visualization of the task. And it reduces too much manual intervention, which is a Great experience. In the past, whenever the tractor finished a path in the field, he had to adjust the tractor carefully for fear of destroying the seeds in the field. It is very demanding and time-consuming to repeat the check every time. Time is precious, and for farmers, it's even more important.
Easy to Install Auto Steer System
A farmer from Ireland who used the Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System on his tractor, New Holland T6180.
The highly integrated modular design allowed the Irish farmer James Murphy to decide to install the system on his own, and he did so successfully. He says, "Sveaverken's technical experts assisted me remotely with the installation, which was very professional and efficient. I only had to install the single antenna, the steering wheel, the display terminal, and the angle sensor in sequence, which was quick and uncomplicated. I like this simple product design. The Sveaverken technical experts gave me great support on vehicle calibration and RTK signal calibration. I use the system to complete my daily farming, and the 2.5cm high precision navigation saves me a lot of worry during farming. This is something I could not have imagined before using it."
Auto Steer System with U-turn and
High Accuracy
A farmer in Spain who used the Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System with Advanced Mode on his tractor CLAAS AXION 810.
It's David's first attempt at precision farming with the Sveaverken F100. David and his wife, Melissa, farm a 500 hectare land in Avila, Spain. They have grown barley and wheat for over 20 years. After testing the F100 Auto Steer System with Advanced Mode on the Claas axion 810, he was satisfied with its high precision performance and U-turn function.
"With the Sveaverken F100, my tractor no longer depends on me, it drives itself and goes in a straight line. 2.5cm high precision navigation has changed the way traditional tillage is done. The Auto Steer System makes precision tillage possible. I've had my Sveaverken F100 run for a few months now and so far, so good. I regret having it too late, nice easy system, and I have since upgraded the system with the U-Turn feature. When having this feature, the experience of the system will reach its peak. Very easy to operate and quite accurate. I love it!"
High Precision of 2.5cm Even for
Terrain Compensation
A farmer in Turkey who used the Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System.
Regarding the accuracy of the system, Metaş Traktör talked about his experience with the Sveaverken F100. "It reaches 0.00 (m) accuracy from ±0.05 (m) levels even if the terrain surface is not flat." The auto steer system has terrain compensation function, ensuring that the tractor can work in straight lines even driving in sloping areas.
On top of that, the system has already upgraded the U-turn feature. He says, "It's unbelievable how the tractor no longer requires both hands to be involved in the turnaround." With the involvement of the system, he seems to be able to use the land area efficiently when turning around. After using the F100 Auto Steer System with Advanced Mode, he was able to save 15% on labor costs and increase his farm profitability by 10%.
Auto Steer System Increases Efficiency and Saves Time
A farmer (Jesus Gonzalez) in Mexico who used the Sveaverken F100 Auto Steer System and RTK Base Station on his tractor John Deere 6403.
"Autosteering is worth it! I can farm with high precision and thus more efficiently. As a result, I evidently save not only resources such as diesel, crop protection, and fertilizer, but above all time!" said Jesus Gonzalez. The system greatly increases farming efficiency and saves a lot of time for him. Because Jesus runs a large farm, he purchased a Sveaverken V1 RTK Base Station to provide RTK signals and placed it on the side of the farm. He said, "The signal is very stable whenever and wherever I am, and I can also provide RTK signals for other farmers, so it's really a two-for-one thing."
