Water Management features
Water Management includes:
l
Survey:Creating surveys of areas. You use a high-accuracy GPS receiver on the water
management implement to create a topographic survey of the layout of your field. The three-
dimensional data shows the surface topography of the land.
Note – If you are working in a field that has already been leveled, you may not need to perform a survey
and you can go straight to leveling with the FieldLevel II system or installing tile using WM-Drain.
l Design:After you complete the survey, you can use it to design the optimum drainage slope
that can be graded with minimal dirt movement.
l Leveling: After you create a survey of the field and a design for how to modify it, you can use
FieldLevel II to control a land-leveling implement on your vehicle and to adjust the land to an
optimal slope.
l WM-Drain:Surface and subsurface drainage installation
Water Management system enables you to:
l Conserve precious water resources and help control the water table.
l Reduce erosion and conserve topsoil.
l Perform touch-up leveling each year.
l Use technology with a larger operating range than a laser and no vertical limit.
l Work with your existing agriculture guidance products to manage your fields with one collective
system. For example, you can connect the Autopilot system to the FM-1000 integrated display
at the same time as the implement.
Requirements
The Water Management system requires:
l An FM-1000 integrated display, with or without the Autopilot system
l A platform kit to suit your vehicle and valve type (P/N 55045-xx)
