HMC 2
Headland Management Control II helps the driver turn in the headland. It can be programmed via the Multicontroller or the AFS Pro 1200 monitor by time or by distance.
MANUEL SPEIDEL,
MANAGER AT ZIMMERMANN FARMS IN TÜBINGEN DISTRICT, GERMANY:
"We farm about 260 hectares of land. Of those, about 160 hectares are fields and 100 are pasture. We also contract farm an additional 350 hectares of fields, in addition to a lot of other contract work and municipal jobs. We were fortunate to be able to test the Optum AFS ConnectTM prototype before its launch. We were especially pleased with the spacious new cab with the new armrest and color monitor. The armrest is a real highlight, you can freely assign remotes and all Isobus functions. The machine really won us over while we worked with it."
