When it’s time for your farm to take it to the next level, you need an indicator for your equipment. Indicators can tell you so many different things throughout the entire planting process. Just take a look at what a multi-purpose indicator can do for you!
Track Pro Boxes and Hoppers
When you have a multi-purpose indicator, you can individually track up to eight boxes or hoppers with just one scale system. This allows you to know the exact amount of seed that’s left in the hopper and boxes.
You can also track individual seeds per pound with the pro box and hopper, allowing you accurate insight into how much seed you have left and how many acres you’re able to fill. You simply deduct the weight of the box by adjusting the scale, and you know exactly how much seed is in the box or hopper.
Track Seed Usage
When you use a multi-purpose indicator with the iforeman feature, you know the exact amount you need to plan your fields. This helps you minimize your seed usage and allows you to plant the following crop much faster.
You can easily measure the seed that’s used across farms and partnerships with just one click of a button, and transparent records let you use and track the bulk seed.
Easy-to-Use Tools
Multi-purpose indicators equipped with iForeman also come with a calculator to make everything much easier for you. Just enter the acres that you want to plant and the average seeds per acre, and iForeman will tell you the exact target weight for your planter!
Don’t worry about overfilling, because custom alerts help you avoid overfilling the central planters. You can set an alarm that will flash at the preset points, including halfway and the entire target weight. That way, you don’t have to worry about overfilling your planters and slowing down production times.
The target weight can also be divided up among a total number of hoppers, up to sixteen hoppers. You can easily track which seed treatments were used in each field. You can select from a list of defined fields and seed treatments set up by you. Knowing which treatments were used for which fields provide you with valuable information that saves you time and money.
Optional Features
In addition, your multi-purpose indicator will be able to automatically shut off your auger or close the gate so that you don’t overfill unintentionally. This helps eliminate human error, which causes a lot of extra cost in the farming industry.
Using a multi-purpose indicator on your farm equipment will surely save you time, money, and hassle. You no longer have to keep track of every seed when you have equipment to do it for you!
