Selecting the Right Laser Land Leveller
Selecting the appropriate Laser Land Leveller (LLL) can greatly improve your field's productivity, improve irrigation use and conserve fuel use. Since there are a variety of different models and versions, it can be quite difficult to figure out which LLL is right for you. In this guide Apogee Precision LLP explains how to select the best model depending on your tractor, crop and field type.
What Is a Laser Land Leveller?
A laser land leveller is a precision agricultural implement that uses a laser-guided system to make fields perfectly level. A laser transmitter, receiver, and control panel controls the bucket height to level land with precision.
Benefits:
- Increase crop yields
- Save water, fuel, and electricity
- Reduce irrigation time
- Provide consistent germination and growth
Step 1: Determine the Levelling Type You Need
Three levelling system types are available from Apogee, based on field shape and water flow requirements.
a) Zero Level
- Suitable for most field crops, including rice, wheat, sugarcane, bananas, pulses, potatoes, and more.
- Easily managed and maintained.
- Will work on 90% of Indian farms.
b) Single Slope
- Provides one direction water flow for drainage.
- Found in tobacco fields or long, narrow farms with a single ability to get water into the field.
- Contains functions of both Zero-Level, and Single Slope.
c) Dual Slope
