Background: Nursultan owns a large-scale farm located in an agricultural production area in Kazakhstan and manages over 5,000 hectares of farmland, growing crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans. Due to the large scale of operations, traditional manual tractor driving could no longer meet the needs for effective agricultural production. Nursultan decided to introduce the FMA300 Auto-steering system to help improve work efficiency.

Challenges Before Using FMA300 Auto-steering system:

Historically, Nursultan’s farm relied on manual operation, using traditional non-automated tractors for tasks such as plowing, fertilizing, and spraying. He found that this led to several issues including driver fatigue, repeated work and struggles with effective management of the farm. Many areas were plowed twice, due to a lack of accurate route planning leading to waste and unnecessary costs. Long hours of manual tractor driving not only reduced operational efficiency but also caused driver fatigue, which negatively impacted work quality and with such a large area of farmland, real-time management data was difficult to track, making it hard to manage operations efficiently and precisely.

Changes After Installing the FMA300 Auto-steering System:

With guidance from the Verditex team, Nursultan installed the FMA300 auto-steering system and began a three-month trial. Over the course of using the system, he found it offered several key benefits — including precise navigation that eliminated overlapping work, reduced driver fatigue, and improved both safety and operational efficiency. The system also supported more scientific farming practices, lowered reliance on manual labor, and helped optimize the use of resources across his operations.

During plowing, the FMA300 auto-steering system enabled the tractor to follow preset routes with high precision, greatly minimizing redundant passes. This accuracy was especially valuable during large-scale operations, where precise trajectory planning helped avoid both missed and overlapping areas, ultimately saving time and reducing costs. According to Nursultan, the system improved work efficiency by over 30%, leading to substantial savings in both fuel and labor.

In addition, the automatic driving feature of the FMA300 auto-steering system allowed the tractor to follow a set path, greatly reducing the number of manual inputs required from the driver. This helped reduce driver fatigue, while the system’s continuous monitoring of the tractor’s status provided timely alerts to potential safety risks, lowering the chance of accidents and improving overall operational safety.

Furthermore, Nursultan could use the FMA300’s intelligent management platform to review real-time work progress and data on tasks such as plowing, fertilizing, and spraying. This data not only helped him track operations but also allowed him to adjust work plans in real time, increasing farm management efficiency.

Following the implementation of the FMA300 system, Nursultan’s farm reduced its dependence on manual labor by over 50%. Automation and intelligent control streamlined many operational processes, improving resource allocation and enabling workers to focus on higher-value tasks like pest management and soil enhancement.

Conclusion:

By introducing the FMA300 Auto-steering system, Nursultan’s farm not only improved production efficiency and operational accuracy but also achieved more effective agricultural management. The entire production process became more standardized, resource waste was significantly reduced, and crop yield and quality showed noticeable improvement. He believes that this technology is an essential trend for the future of agriculture, enabling smarter and more modern farming.

Nursultan said: “This FMA300 Auto-steering system has transformed our traditional farming methods. It has made work much easier, improved management efficiency, and made planting more scientific. I’m confident about the future of agricultural production.”
