ProTrakker is Keeping Your Implements on Track

Advancements in precision agriculture continue to provide producers with technology that gives them more control over maximized yields, inputs, and ultimately, profits. ProTrakker, a manufacturer of implement guidance systems, has pioneered the design of hydraulic hitches and accessories that deliver sub-inch accuracy for virtually all equipment models. They are now introducing two new products, the 500DB Hydraulic Hitch and the DB Easy Change Drawbar accessory, that expand the ability for more producers to adopt implement guidance, even for some of the biggest rigs in the field.

“When it comes to working with producers, we are looking at their individual operation and finding ways to develop solutions that fit their specific needs,” said ProTrakker president, Cory Miller. “The 500DB is one more option that provides precision and accuracy in attaining implement guidance goals, whether it be nutrient placement, seed placement or controlling crop damage. The producer also has the ability to choose a GPS active implement guidance system or side-hill sensor options. At ProTrakker we aim to build a customized solution.”

The Odebolt, Iowa manufacturer has designed the new 500DB Hydraulic Hitch to handle higher horsepower equipment. With 30 plus inches of swing, this model also delivers control on extreme side hills or contours. New to this model, there are hitch height adjustment capabilities, making the 500DB even more adaptable to larger planters and strip-till rigs. 

The 500DB, like other ProTrakker drawbar models, can be universally mounted on nearly all tractor drawbars with five, high-strength bolts. The new DB Easy Change Drawbar accessory was developed to make the installation process even easier, allowing the producer to install the hydraulic hitch with a simple pin removal. The DB Easy Change Drawbar is interchangeable for use with any of the ProTrakker DB Hydraulic Hitch models.

“Stability and repeatability have been proven to improve yields by 15 to 20 bushels per acre, save producers up to eight percent in input costs and give them implement control that dramatically increases germination and growth.” Miller said. “We are seeing powerful results, and the feedback from our customers is that ProTrakker implement guidance systems are not only helping improve their profitability, but they are also assisting them with soil conservation through maximizing the benefits of strip-till and no-till production.”
