Advanced autosteering for farmers from FJD and Kennett Agri

In farming today, farmers and farming contractors are all facing a battle against rising costs and fierce competition.

They should know better than anyone that making every seed, every drop of fertiliser, and every hour count is no longer a luxury – it’s essential for survival in the market.

For years, many small and medium-sized UK farms have felt shut out from the benefits of precision agriculture. The cost was too high, the technology too complex, and the return on investment felt too risky.

That changes with a powerful partnership between global technology leader FJDynamics and its dedicated UK distributor, Kennett Agri Ltd.

They are bringing cost-effective, reliable autosteering systems right to every British farm, helping farmers achieve true precision without a large upfront investment.

Solving the UK farmers’ biggest problems

Kennett Agri Ltd knows the unique pressures facing farmers in Britain. The local farmers need technology that is reliable, easy to use, and most importantly, budget-friendly.

That is why the company chose to partner with FJDynamics, an industrial leading player that has already sold over 200,000 autosteering units worldwide, with thousands already operating in the UK.

This collaboration is focused on one simple goal: providing farmers with automation systems that quickly improve their operational accuracy and boost their business returns.

No frills: Real savings and accuracy

The core of the FJD promise is that advanced farming precision shouldn’t come with hidden fees.

Trusted by farmers worldwide, FJDynamics keeps what farmers care about in mind and provides real benefits to the farmers.

Zero extra cost for RTK

FJD systems offer full RTK functionality without any additional unlocking fees. Think about what that means: the ± 2.5 cm positioning accuracy is standard, not an expensive upgrade.

By removing this major extra charge, the system drastically cuts the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), making advanced guidance a smart, viable investment for any farm size.

Upgrade, not replace

FJDynamics knows farmers can’t afford to replace their whole fleet. The FJD systems are designed for maximum flexibility.

They work smoothly with popular UK tractor and implement brands, including JCB, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Kubota, and Claas.

This ensures small and medium-sized farms can get the most value from their existing machinery, be it a 40-year-old John Deere 4440 or the large New Holland CX8080 combine harvester.

Additionally, these systems are designed to be easy to set up and offer intuitive interfaces. This means farmers can get started quickly without needing complex wiring or extensive training.

Crucially, given the unpredictable UK climate, these systems are built tough with an IP rating to handle the demands of long days and rough field conditions.

Contractor success: Boosting profit and reducing fatigue

The benefits are instant, especially for farming machinery contractors. Consider one of Kennett Agri’s customers, who runs a small contracting business.

He first installed the FJD AT2 system in his Case Puma. He was so impressed with the results that when he expanded his fleet, he immediately bought the FJD AS2 for his new tractor.

His working improvements from using the FJD system were powerful:

• Precise Acreage Tracking: The FJD system accurately recorded the exact acreage he covered, allowing him to invoice his clients with total confidence and precision.
• Reduced Fatigue: Working long, demanding hours is part of a contractor’s life, but the autosteering helped reduce fatigue, keeping him sharp and safe even late into the evening.

This level of proven accuracy and efficiency is what keeps a contracting business sharp and competitive in today’s farming market.

Choosing the right system for your tractor

FJD has a full set of autosteering systems to match any need and tractor type.

These models work with both electric and hydraulic control tractors, and each is priced much lower than the big brand names.

Utilizing GNSS and RTK technology for accurate positioning, these systems enable farmers to drive easily over any type of ground, whether it’s flat or hilly.

They come with many guidance line options for planning the best path to cover the most land.

This cuts down on driving over the same spot twice (overlap) or missing areas (skips). Because of this, farmers around the world have reported up to 11% savings on seeds, water, fertilisers, and chemicals.

With driving automated by FJD autosteering tech, farmers can take their hands and minds off the wheel.

This frees them up for other important tasks, like watching how their machine is working, checking the progress of an ongoing task, and making small parameter changes to get the highest efficiency possible.

By using the automatic and smart U-turn features, these systems can cut the driving distance by up to 30%.

This also saves nearly 10% to 20% of fuel compared to manual driving. Over time, these savings can be very large.

A major advantage is that all the AT2, AS2, and AH2 models can be upgraded to use the same large 12.1-inch screen featured on the AT2 Max, giving farmers a large-monitor solution at an affordable price.

So far, these systems have proved to work smoothly for a large variety of cereal crops, root crops, grass, and maize.

Built-in intelligence and future upgrades

The FJD autosteering systems offer much more than just steering. They come with a range of practical accessories to help farmers increase their efficiency in daily farming practices:

• Easy control: A handheld remote-like device for quick switching between auto-drive and manual, easy acreage recording, and fast setup of AB guidance lines.
• Wi-fi camera: Add safety by providing a real-time view of blind spots or implements around the vehicle.
• ISOBUS ready: Optional ISOBUS cables allow farmers to upgrade to the full AEF-certified ISOBUS system, smartly control all their ISOBUS-capable implements regardless of manufacturers and brands. This unlocks automatic section control and flow rate control for smart implement management, helping farmers save fertiliser, seed, and chemical costs.
