Stihl Launches BT140, Its First Battery-Powered Auger
With battery tools becoming more widespread and more importantly, productive and reliable, it was only time before we saw augers or post-hole borers.
The new Combi Cam Mode, which is automatically activated at the factory, generates a superimposed image from both cameras. As a result, the system works using twice as much visual information, which ensures even more precise row detection. This also offers great advantages, especially in heterogeneous, patchy crops.
There is also much less stress and fatigue for drives, as manual switching between the two cameras is no longer necessary. In addition, it is still possible to select only one camera with an extensive view if, for example, the second camera is operating outside the field boundary.
Alternatively, the AutoSwitch Cam Mode can be activated via the settings, so that the machine is automatically controlled via the camera that receives the best image. The system switches as soon as the image quality falls below a set threshold. This ensures consistently precise row guidance until the next turning operation.
The Combi Cam and AutoSwitch Cam functions are also available for existing LEMKEN Steketee hoeing machines via a software update.
