The ROW-GUARD camera guidance system steers row-crop cultivators absolutely precisely along the crops via a linear side shift frame.
The top advantages of the Einböck side shift frame:
- Narrow, compact design
- Low centre of gravity distance of the row-crop cultivator from the tractor
- Low lifting power requirement and low rear axle load
- Electronic and hydraulic components are protected in the frame
- One sideshift frame for several implements
- Row-crop cultivator and sideshift frame can be exchanged individually
- Smooth movement due to proportional valve
- Track width can be adjusted quickly
- Central lubrication strip for easy maintenance
- Practical “hose bridge” above the sideshift frame
- Shifting via a chrome-plated shaft rod ensures durability
- Wide range of accessories (e.g. different stabilising wheels)
- Three different sideshift frame sizes available
Advantages of the linear slide frame compared to a parallel slide frame
Linear side shifting frame
- Shifts linearly to the left or right by 25 cm each (total shift 50 cm)
- Direct power transmission to the row-crop cultivator
- Centre of gravity close to tractor (lower lifting forces required)
- Reduced rear axle load at the headland (less soil compaction)
- Narrow design (e.g. advantage when hoeing on slopes)
Parallel shifting frame
- Parallel shifting frame
- Moves with the aid of a parallelogram: closer to the tractor at the end positions and furthest away from the tractor in the middle position
- Centre of gravity far away (e.g. drifting on slopes)
- Longer construction: More lifting power is required
- Higher axle loads and more ballasting required (compaction at the headland)
