Field Pilot 220
Integrated Autosteering and Rate Control Systems
Midwest Technologies provides you with world-class automated steering and application control systems. These integrated solutions leverage a single cab console/display to perform automated steering in addition to application rate control and other precision farming tasks.

The revolutionary Legacy 6000 is the user interface to your FieldPilot system. When installed in a tractor or self-propelled application rig, the Legacy 6000 provides the operator with a single user interface for product application, mapping and autosteer systems. With a single console, you can spend more time working and less time learning how to operate multiple consoles. Improved productivity is what FieldPilot is all about.
 
FieldPilot - Your Ticket to Increased Productivity
Ever feel there aren't enough hours in the day? Not anymore. FieldPilot extends your operating hours so you can work longer when you need to work longer. And with FieldPilot you can drive faster than you would manually and still maintain precision. The result is more ground covered in less time.

Greater Precision
Precision is what every operator wants, and that's exactly what you'll get with FieldPilot. Rows are uniformly aligned so that every inch of field is farmed. No more guess rows, no more overlaps. Eliminating row variances also means fewer crops are destroyed during cultivation and harvest. And since all subsequent field passes are as precise as the first, these operations will be easier and more effective.

Maximum Efficiency
FieldPilot's automated steering system frees you to concentrate on your field applications such as spraying, planting or fertilizer application. Since you can spend less time on the monotonous job of driving the vehicle, you can do a better job performing the task you’re really there for. Major reductions in operator fatigue mean better performance of the application job. 

Integration Advantages
A single user-interface for all the functions allows operators to learn and run a single device
• Fewer boxes in the cab improves visibility and cab ergonomics
• Less time managing consoles means more time working and improved productivity
• No need to try and get multiple consoles or boxes to “talk” to each other
• Fewer consoles mean lower costs

Proven Leader
With FieldPilot you'll get the same great service and reliability you've come to expect from Midwest Technologies and our first-rate dealers.
 
Easy Installation
FieldPilot systems install easily. Untrained people can usually accomplish the installation within about 4 hours. Experienced installers can often do the job in half that time. Detailed instructions for connecting to your machine’s hydraulic steering system are included with each kit.
