FarmCentre can provide a complete overview of a machinery fleet, along with task data relating to specific jobs. For Mat Grant, it will eliminate the need for manual data transfer via USB stick, at the 1,050-acre Highfield Farm near Cadwell in Lincolnshire.
“FarmCentre will let me upload tasks onto ‘the cloud’ for the operator to download remotely, into the IsoMatch Tellus PRO terminal in the tractor cab,” he explains. “And data transfer back to the farm office follows the same process, as tasks are completed.”
He sees the process as one that delivers greater efficiency.
“If I make last minute changes to prescription maps for fertilisers for example, to suit changes in weather or agronomic recommendations, there’s no need for the tractor and spreader to return to the yard to get the latest maps, or for me to take maps to the operator with a replacement USB stick,” he says. “FarmCentre is an ideal solution that can save time and allow for fine-tuning with inputs.”
Mat Grant has recently been announced as the lucky winner of a limited-edition version of the dual screen Tellus PRO terminal worth over £8,000, giving him a second Tellus PRO terminal.
“I’m delighted to have won the black terminal,” he says. “I already have a Tellus PRO to run my spreader, but now I can put the limited-edition terminal in my other tractor, so it doesn’t matter which tractors are used for fertiliser spreading or drilling. It’s brilliant to have, and is a huge cost-saving.”
