Samco has recently added the Trimble GPS as an option to its maize planter.

The well-known Samco System was first developed in 1996.
The company developed a maize drill to sow seed, lay degradable film over the seedbed and spray pre-emergence herbicide to control weed growth, all in one pass.
The Samco machine comes in two working widths, either as 3.2m or 4.6m. The narrower model comes with two sections, while the wider version has three sections.

The sprayer has an output of 250l per hectare with the spray pressure controlled by the forward speed of the machine.
Up to now Samco, has been using the Spray Lite System on its sprayer, manufactured by the German Müller Corporation.
Now, the system is available with the Trimble GPS pressure system installed, controlling sprayer output in relation to forward speed, guiding the driver through a visual guidance in-cab monitor.
This will help to ensure accurate herbicide placement and better field coverage.
