Boasting an off-line correction of nearly 5 feet, it will deliver the same precision and sub-inch row accuracy results that have become synonymous with the ProTrakker brand. The WS9000T is specific to John Deere 9000T and 9000RT tractor models. These tractors have a wide swing mechanism that customers want to control and now can. "Just like our other hydraulic hitch models, the WS9000T can be controlled in multiple ways for the implement correction farmers are seeking," says company president Cory Miller.

Implement guidance is still an emerging technology in North America, but it is being utilized in other parts of the world to improve agricultural production. This recent article from Ag Contractor & Large Scale Farmer looks at some of the considerations for adding implement guidance to a farming operation.

In case you missed them, here are the items that have garnered the most interest from other farmers in the month of December.

ProTrakker, an Iowa-based implement guidance system manufacturer, introduced the WS9000T Hydraulic Hitch, specific to John Deere 9000T and 9000RT tractor models.

When paired with a ProTrakker Hydraulic Hitch, SonicTrakk precisely guides an implement on slopes and contour rows. It also provides farmers with the repeatability required for high accuracy farming practices such as no-till, strip till, organic farming, etc.

Cory Miller with MBW Products talks about the features of the ProTrakker hydraulic hitch. The hitch system is compatible with the leading guidance systems on the market. The hitch can be set up as 2-point hook-up for planters or drawbar hookup. This makes it an attractive option for strip-tillers.
