Remote control of forage preservative applicators by an Apple iPad tablet computer will be featured at Lamma by PFC as an alternative to using a dedicated control box or an Isobus terminal.

A Bluetooth antenna for wireless connection to the iPad is supplied as standard with PFC’s Harvest Tec 400T applicator for round and conventional balers and as an option for the modular Harvest Tec 600 system for high capacity square and other balers.

Reduced cost, a lack of wiring between the tractor and baler, and ability to use the iPad for customer records and to access web-based data such as weather forecasts and email are among the advantages, says PFC.
