Surface Water Pro™ Plus

Keep water from forming a pond

Surface Water Pro™ Plus system for the GreenStar™ 2 2600 and GreenStar 3 2630 Displays take water management to the next level. When added to either a GreenStar 2 2600 or GreenStar 3 2630 Display, Surface Water Pro Plus will open the door for more advanced ditching functions enabling the creation of more precise ditches.

To attain this functionality, a Surface Water Pro Plus activation is required and a second StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver will need to be mounted on the implement which must be running at least SF2/SF3, but RTK is highly recommended. The receiver on the tractor may run SF2/SF3; however, RTK is recommended. To ensure the best vertical accuracy, users should run RTK on the implement receiver at a location within 2 km (1.2 miles) of the RTK base station.

Surface Water Pro Plus uses many components that many growers already own, including:

• GreenStar 2 2600 Display
• GreenStar 3 2630 Display
• StarFire 3000 or StarFire 6000
• AutoTrac™ assisted steering system
• iGrade™ leveling system

NOTE:  See this link for further StarFire 6000 compatibility information.
