GPS/GNSS 101: How machine control systems work and what you need to get started
For the contractors who invest in them, GPS/GNSS systems can deliver huge gains in earthmoving productivity, accuracy and speed. But because these are electronic and digital products, and because full blown GPS/GNSS systems for automated blade control can cost $60,000 to $100,000 per machine, many contractors have not taken the leap. If the complexity of […]

DOZERS REDEFINED: How electronics and machine control made mid-size dozers smarter
There’s a direct correlation between power and fuel consumption; more power requires more fuel. Higher injection pressures, careful design of the piston and combustion chamber, turbocharging and other mechanical ploys improve combustion efficiency and help ensure maximum power is extracted from each unit of fuel, but they don’t change the fundamentals. More power still requires […]
