If you're looking for increased productivity, less plant damage, and an easier way of tilling, planting, cultivating, and applying chemicals and fertilizer, the answer isn't just simple - it's Automatic. The Navigator from Automatic Equipment does everything listed here, and by doing so puts bigger numbers on your bottom line. Here's how.

During planting, some operators tend to drive wide to reduce the possibility of cultivator damage later. However, the Navigator takes the guess out of guess rows, giving you greater accuracy and straighter rows. In fact, some farmers have told us they get one or two extra passes per field - and that means more productivity an acre.

Faster passes, less damage, easier steering

Row accuracy is critical for hipping and ridging. Fortunately, the Navigator keeps you straight in the rows, so you can move at a higher speed without going close enough to cause plant damage or wide enough to form hills incorrectly.

In addition the navigator keeps the implement parallel with the rows, even if your tractor drifts off course. This enables you to stay focused on checking the angle of the seed hopper, monitoring chemicals, and so on. The Navigator reduces operator fatigue, and because it's so easy to use, less skilled labor can employ it for a variety of tasks.

Use with many implements

The heavy-duty design and construction of the Navigator makes it ideal for use with round tillage equipment, three-point or pull-type planters, and cultivation implements. It also works effectively on all ridge-till cultivators, conventional cultivators, and four-wheel-drive articulated tractors, and can be used in a wide variety of crops including corn, soybeans, sorghum, sunflowers, cotton, potatoes, sugar beets, and other vegetables.

Unique design advantages

The Navigator's unique design offers many advantages that keep it going longer, with fewer problems. With very few moving parts, the Navigator provides smooth, friction-free lateral movement, elimating wear points. Its design also eliminates the excessive pull and stress on hydraulic components associated with other guidance systems. No wonder farmers prefer the strong, trouble free operation of the Navigator.

The Navigator can be used with or without stabilizing and steering coulters, eliminating the need for additional equipment. In addition, the optional Auto Slope automatically compensates for sidehill drift.

Standard equipment on the Navigator includes the control box, quick-attach coupler, wishbone-shaped crop sensing wands, center-mount sensor bracket, and hydraulic system with flow control valve.
