2018 LaForge Guided Hitch

After more than 2 years of development, LAFORGE is proud to offer the LAFORGE Guided Hitch to farmers looking for improved accuracy, efficiency, reliability and simplicity. The Guided Hitch is designed to optimize operations when combined with an Implement Guidance System.

The LAFORGE Guided Hitch is controlled by the GPS implement guidance system to automatically steer the implement to follow the guidance line. Currently, it is designed to fit two-point pull-type implement. A three-point hitch version is under development for mounted implements.

• A great advantage for farmers with:

• Improves yield by reducing seedbed compaction

• Better seed placement relative to nutrient application

• Superior end-rows and consistent guess-rows

• Better operation in varying soil conditions and difficult terrain

• Year to year repeatability during field applications

• Decrease operator fatigue, labor, and fuel costs

• Reduces crop damage and improves efficiency when used in previous and subsequent field operations:

• Strip till

• Spraying

• Side-dressing

• Harvesting
