PTx Trimble Announces Next Generation of Landforming Solutions With WM-FieldForm

"Farmers are looking for tools to do more with less, which is why we've invested in WM-FieldForm to continue our legacy of water management innovation and development," said Andrew Sunderman, General Manager of PTx Trimble. "We're excited to share new features and updated functionality so farmers can improve the accuracy and impact of land forming projects and optimize water distribution across their fields."

WM-FieldForm is a complete solution to improve and simplify each step of the landforming process, from surveying and design to execution and verification.

Farmers can create topographic surveys of fields using high-precision RTK measurements with capabilities to create boundaries, interior points and calculations to report true acreage of survey areas using tools like the WM-Survey II^™ app. Survey data can then be imported into WM-Form^® design software to create optimized field surface drainage designs employing Multiplane technology to define primary and cross slopes, prescribed orientation and preferred grades for more complex field requirements. Alternatively, survey data can remain with WM-FieldForm in the display to create best-fit surface designs using Autoplane technology. All of the software utilizes industry-leading dirt-balancing algorithms to minimize topsoil disturbance and straightforward workflows that are easy to master.

As part of the company's commitment to its retrofit-first, mixed-fleet strategy, WM-FieldForm integrates with the GFX-1260 display and the NAV-900 guidance controller. Farmers simply need to add a NAV-900 and hydraulic machine controls to a bucket scraper. With NAV-900 compatibility, farmers have greater positioning accuracy and more uptime to get the work done faster.

With WM-FieldForm, farmers can form and maintain fields on their own, minimize topsoil disturbances, and use water more efficiently, regardless of the climate where they farm. For those in areas with excess moisture, that means reducing soil erosion, saving on inputs by limiting nutrient leaching and preventing yield losses from ponding. For farmers in dry climates, benefits include improved irrigation and reduced water runoff.

Farmers who implement the WM-FieldForm system can impact their bottom line with improved yield performance and cost savings in the first year due to more effective and efficient water use.
