Topcon Agriculture introduced the next generation of its boom height control technology for agricultural spraying applications with the launch of the UC7 Plus in late July this year.
Built on the foundation of Topcon’s Norac boom height control technologies, the UC7 Plus allows users to further reduce inputs, improve crop performance, and reduce equipment maintenance costs with improved height and spray control capabilities.
Compatible with most self-propelled and pull-type sprayers, the new technology features new sensor technology that improves performance and reliability, including the stability and response of the boom control system and improvements on challenging terrain.
“The UC7 Plus serves up an extreme opportunity for lower operating and input costs, and lower equipment repair costs,” said Nick Townsend, Topcon Agriculture vice president and segment leader for smart implements. “These new capabilities also improve sustainability efforts in applying only the needed amount of spray, whereit is needed, to achieve the best results — supporting compliance efforts, cost savings, and optimal crop performance.”
In addition to practical cost savings and sustainability benefits, the technology also significantly reduces operator stress and fatigue through spraying automation; boom control automatically adjusts boom height to match the contours of the land, reducing the operator’s need to constantly monitor field terrain.
The solution delivers varying levels of control to suit a wide range of applications, crops and operating styles, and it is compatible with a wide range of sprayers, making it ideal for incremental growth and upgrades on existing spraying systems.
Topcon testing data and research indicates the new UC7 Plus may improve overall spraying performance by 30 percent when taking into account all savings and efficiencies.
LH Agro became an authorised Topcon dealer in 2007, and supplies and installs precision technology to Britishfarmers and growers, including RTK and GPS-based guidance systems, application rate and section control technologies, crop sensors and yield monitoring systems, and now, the new UC7 Plus boom height control.
“This is an exciting development in boom height control and we’re very proud to supply this enhanced technology to our customers,” explains Richard Reed, managing director of LH Agro. “The new UC7 Plus, alongside Topcon’s ongoing research and development across all areas of crop production and livestock feeding, makes it simpler and more accessible for British farmers to benefit from the practical value, efficiencies and performance of precision technology.”
The LH Agro team of dedicated specialists is on hand throughout England, Scotland and Wales to advise on how the UC7 Plus can transform your spraying system.
