Lighting up those dark places
Up to four colour cameras can be mounted on the outside of the tractor and any attached implements.
These are plumbed into a seven-inch screen in the cab, powered by a 12V socket.
Operators can choose whether to view a single camera separately, or all four in a split-screen format.
The cameras provide wide-angle, fish-eye views of the surroundings — for viewing blindspots or, for example, mounting on longer tractor bonnets or front-mounted implements to make exiting from blind gateways less risky.
Each camera also has a built-in microphone so the operator can hear any suspicious squeaks or rattles. Up to 28 infra-red LEDs are used to make the cameras effective at up to 10 metres in the dark.
The company’s number-plate-mounted camera make coupling up to awkward implements easier.
