Why You Need to Add Precision Technology to Your Equipment

Farming requires a lot of risk and patience, but modern technology has increased the positive outputs available for production. Precision technology can improve yields and reduce stress on the soil (and yourself) when the weather isn’t what we hope for. Oftentimes your current equipment can easily be upgraded to include these remarkable features.

Ways to Upgrade

If input costs have run you ragged but you still want to increase your productivity, there are a few options available. One of the most common solutions is adding precision tech to your current planter. A popular upgrade is row guidance, which results in perfect planting passes every single time. 

Other upgrades that are often available with your current equipment includes GPS, monitor upgrades, and autosteer. You can speak with our team at Central Machinery Sales to determine what technology might be compatible with your current setup. 

Why Does it Matter?

Making the upgrade to precision technology can seem unnecessary, but the benefits can genuinely have a major impact on your operation. 

1. Use What You Already Have

Right off the bat, being able to utilize the farm equipment you already have is a huge factor for profitability and production. Even if you are using older models of equipment, you can find upgrades that will improve your output without investing in brand new models. 

If you’re hesitant to add new features to your tried and true machinery, maybe consider starting with a display system. Several different steering types can be optimized with these systems and can be improved upon more in the future.

2. Increase Your Return on Investment

Precision technology allows your equipment to perform more accurately and efficiently. These improvements will result in a higher return on investment, or ROI. The accuracy of application rates and seed planting alone can increase your yield substantially within one season. 

You’ll also notice that adding precision technology to your equipment will reduce product waste, leading to financial savings for your operation. 

3. Beat the Learning Curve

It’s no secret that agricultural equipment is becoming more and more advanced as technology continues to improve. With that being said, it’s important for farmers to adapt to changing production practices. Choosing to add precision options to your equipment can help you transition into newer methods and mechanics before it’s time to completely upgrade your machinery.
