iCon - Highly productive meets highly intuitive
The iCon Wireless Control System lives on an iPad, making it intuitive and easy to use – just like the machine it controls. It features a simple interface, home screen automation and perating enhancements like the Acres to Empty and in-field calibration features. Acres to Empty tells you instantly how many acres remain until your next product fill. The in-field calibration function confirms static calibration values while seeding, using load cell data. This information is transmitted wirelessly to the iCon Control System to ensure you are applying products at the correct rates throughout the field.
Freedom to move
Wireless control provides big benefits for seed drill systems. Carry your iCon controlled tablet with you to gain full seeder control and eliminate the need to go back and forth between the tractor cab and machine. The portability simplifies calibration and helps to troubleshoot for blockages, fill the tanks to the appropriate level, or even use the meters to empty the air cart. Plus, you get less in-cab wiring and fewer connection points.
Fit-to-Field rate adjustment
The Fit-to-Field function makes product changes much easier. This iCon feature automatically adjusts seed and fertilizer rates to empty* the Seed Hawk air cart over the remaining acres in your field. It’s easy and efficient, eliminating the guess work when emptying the cart.
* 200lbs. of product will remain in the bin at empty
In-field calibration
The iCon in-field calibration function confirms static calibration values during seeding, by using load cell data. This information is transmitted wirelessly to the iCon Control System to ensure you are applying products at the correct rates throughout the field.
SCTx – Next level precision
The Next-Gen Sectional Control Technology, SCTx, allows for more complex maneuvering in the field and unprecedented capabilities to predict seeded/unseeded areas.
The user interface features a virtual toolbar displaying real-time information based on coverage and operator input lookahead times, showing exactly where/when the drill should turn on/off. Turn compensation allows for precise rates across width of the machine, ensuring a more even plant count in wide arching and tight turn areas of the field.
