We have spoken about sunflower works like harrowing or sowing which were published in the blog and our YouTube channel. Sunflower is a really important crop in our area and in the last years high oleic sunflower is getting very good yields. This time, what caught our attention was the implement that our friend Vicente Castillo was using. We would like to comment the steering system used when he sowed them.
As you can see in our pictures, the tool Vicente was using is designed for sunflowers (maybe it can be used for corn too). It has 5 minicultichissel per row to remove all weeds in spite of coming very near sunflowers; besides this tool put more soil near sunflowers so they have a great growth. Regarding Vicente’s comments, maybe he needed higher sunflowers to get the best result of his tool because he was working at 8km/h and the ideal working speed is about 10.5km/h. Definitely, this implement is pretty lightweight and really effective... we liked it so much!!
On the other hand, we would like to stand out sunflowers were sowed using the Cerea autoguidance system. Vicente has problems to keep an absolutely straight row during a whole day so he decided to install the Cerea steering system. As you can see in our pictures and the video, the sowing task was optimum and his system only used the EGNOS signal (it is the GPS signal with less accuracy). We use Cerea system too, which you can check in this old post we published it in cereal sowing days.

ReplyDeleteSi, el sistema de autoguiado funciona francamente bien
DeleteGracias por tu comentario.

No pone más brazos al cultivador por vergüenza...
ReplyDeletejajajajajaja
DeletePensamos que físicamente no es posible.
Bueno, la cuestión es poder trabajar muy cerca de los girasoles... se requiere mucha precisión y con muchos minicultivadores se logra, cosa que no se podría hacer de otra forma.
En Demoagro, el fabricante Razol tenía un cultivador parecido para surcar maíz... bueno ese iba gestionado mediante GPS, pero la idea era la misma.
Gracias por tu comentario.

Delete¿Qué le ocurre? No vemos nada raro

Están sembrados con el cerea, pero para esta labor no lo va utilizando verdad???
ReplyDeleteEso es. Lo utilizó para sembrarlas, pero ahora no lo estaba usando.
DeleteDe todas formas indicarte que si que podría utilizarlo, ya que se puede cargar el trabajo que realizó de siembra (queda guardardo en la tablet) y desplazar los surcos lo necesario para que pise entre ellos.
Gracias por seguir el blog y por tus comentarios.

Con egnos pienso que es muy complicado realizar esa operación con precisión
Deleteeso es porque no has probado el Cerea ....
DeletePues tienes razón, es dificil hacerlo con EGNOS... pero Cerea lo ha conseguido y por ello tiene mucho mérito además de un precio super competitivo.
DeleteTambién tienes la opción de trabajar con RTK... a gusto del agricultor.
