Varying soil conditions, uneven loads or hilly terrain conditions may exercise considerable influence on the implement. Particularly in row cultivation this cannot be corrected by tractor steering SBG were one of the first manufacturers to recognise the importance of implement steering in these situations and developed the TWIN steering.

SBGuidance TWIN enables repeated field operations to be performed with unparalleled accuracy. In high-quality vegetables and organic crops TWIN offers new possibilities. Plant and seeding activities are performed with unparalleled accuracy and subsequent operations like mechanical weed control, ridging or band spraying perfectly match up. Especially in organic farming, labor costs per hectare are thereby greatly reduced

How it works

SBGuidance TWIN is operated via one GeoSTAR 200 terminal. The position of both the tractor and the implement, however, are measured each with its own GPS antenna. Because the tractor movements mostly differ
from the implement, both are equipped with their own 3D terrain compensation. The tractor is hydraulically controlled. For controlling the implement various steering options such as sideshift steering, drawbar steering, steered rear wheels or disc coulters can be selected. This way for every situation and implement there’s always the right steering option available.

TWIN control can be used for all kinds of implements. Mounted equipment such as ridgers, planters or hoeing machines, but also for towed potato planters or (offset) steering TWIN harvesters is a perfect solution. Often an
existing steering cylinder may be used. SBG also has three types of cylinders available for retrofit. The newly developed adapter frame with Walterscheid catch hooks is the perfect solution when various instruments must be controlled.

The advantages

• High accuracy with double steering
• Easy to use and setup via a screen
• Very compact with Universal Side-Shift adaptor
• Both GPS antennas have their own 3D terrain compensation
