Kubota Corporation integrates Tractor Implement Management (TIM) with the DSX-W GEOSPREAD spreader and M7 tractor, enhancing fertilizer application and nutrient distribution for farmers.
Date: November 1, 2024
Osaka, Japan - Kubota Corporation., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has integrated Tractor Implement Management (TIM) into the DSX-W GEOSPREAD fertilizer spreader alongside the Kubota M7 tractor. This advanced technology streamlines fertilizer application, helping farmers achieve precise and efficient nutrient distribution across their fields.
Achieving even and precise fertilizer distribution is essential for maximizing crop yields and promoting healthy, consistent plant growth. Traditionally, operators had to manually adjust key settings on disc spreaders, introducing the potential for human error that could impact efficiency and accuracy. Kubota’s new TIM-enabled solution addresses this by automating critical settings, minimizing the need for manual adjustments.
The combination of the Kubota M7 tractor and DSX-W GEOSPREAD disc spreader brings operators enhanced accuracy and convenience. With the Kubota Spreading Charts App, drivers can select the working width and fertilizer type, then send this data via Bluetooth to the spreader using the Kubota Sync gateway. The system automatically adjusts essential parameters, such as spreader height, disc RPM, and inclination. Furthermore, the spreader’s electronics optimize hitch height, PTO speed, and add a unique top link length feature, enhancing overall precision.
The TIM system ensures greater precision, resulting in more efficient fertilizer use, improved driver comfort, and a more uniformly growing crop that receives the ideal amount of nutrients throughout the field.
