HORSCH MobileControl
Read full descriptionHide full description
The HORSCH Control app allows for carrying out several machine functions for HORSCH mounted implements. Among them figure the calibration of metering devices of the HORSCH seed drills, the row test of the HORSCH Maestro as well as the nozzle test of the HORSCH plant protection sprayers. The smartphone or the tablet is connected with the SmartCan on the machine via a local WLAN, thus avoiding frequent position changes between the terminal in the tractor cabin and the mounted implement. The farmer benefits from a significantly increased usability.
