Chemical herbicides such as glyphosate are currently the subject of heated debate. As a result, alternative methods, such as ecological mechanical tillage for special crops, are increasingly coming into focus. However, this takes up more time for the farmer overall. This is because it has to be carried out more often. In addition, the driving speed is not as high as for the application of herbicides, as the driver previously had to manually align the implements with the crop. The Vineyard Pilot Assistant (VPA control) from Braun Maschinenbau relieves the driver and helps compensate for these disadvantages.

To do this, the intelligent system automatically guides the working tools optimally to the crop. The operator concentrates only on steering the tractor. An ingenious system automatically adjusts the width and height of the tools in the inter-axle area as well as the width of the mulcher. The anticipatory sensor detection and finely tuned hydraulics of the Vineyard Pilot Assistant work with high precision even at high speeds and deliver optimum work results.
