Video: Precision Harvesting with HeadSight and TrueSight Harvest Technology

Precision Planting's HeadSight's advanced header height control and TrueSight steering systems improve header performance, crop flow, and harvesting accuracy in the field.

It was designed for precision and protection, giving operators better control, reduced stress, and measurable yield advantages.

The durable poly arm sensors reduce wear and absorb impact before it reaches the sensor, extending component life.
Sensors are positioned as far forward as possible to maintain consistent cutting height and protect the header.
Its horizon controller system displays real-time data on a virtual terminal for pinpoint diagnostics. It detects wire breaks, sensor health, and connector status for fast troubleshooting.
The enhanced sensitivity control recovers up to 70% of sensor movement lost during ground contact, maintaining precision across uneven terrain and downed crops.
Field tests show a 0.3 to 0.7 bushel per acre improvement compared to manual steering, while reducing operator fatigue and header stress.
