BUILT FOR A MARATHON
CHANGING THE WAY FIELDS ARE MANAGED
ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM
360 RAIN uses a small 24 horsepower diesel engine to generate electricity to the motors on the three drive wheels, the manure manifold, the hose dispenser system and the hose reel. The engine also provides the power for a small hydraulic motor that is used for steering the front tire and other machine functions.
With a 300-galloon fuel tank, 360 RAIN runs all season with just a couple of fuel fills.
HOSE MANAGEMENT
Moving through the field without damaging row crops is the job of the hose dispenser. Through a group of sensors, the dispenser measures ground speed, reel speed and turn radius to dispense or retrieve hose without allowing the hose to be pushed or pulled.
The dispenser also adjust the hose position so it wraps evenly on the wheel.
GUIDANCE AND COMMUNICATIONS
A dedicated GPS and cellular communication system is included and allows the 360 RAIN unit to autonomously navigate through fields. The GPS receiver on the 360 RAIN machine communicates with a base station near the edge of the field.
The same GPS receiver is mounted on the planter and is used to record planter paths. These paths are then transferred to the 360 RAIN machine and used as the watering paths. Cellular communication is used to provide a connection back to the 360 RAIN mobile app. This app allows you to command and control the system from any location.
