In modern farming, managing water is one of the most important jobs. Without a proper drainage system, farmland can suffer from waterlogging, which can cause uneven crop growth or even a complete loss of the harvest. This is a common challenge for famers around the world.
Recently, one farming contractor in Italy found a smart solution when they provided drainage service for a local farm. They had to reshape drainage ditches to improve irrigation on a large field. To get the job done faster and more accurately, they equipped their excavator with the FJD Easydig G31 Lite 3D Excavator Guidance System. The results of this decision were impressive, going far beyond what they had expected.
The Challenge of Getting Precise Slopes
Digging a drainage ditch is more than just making a trench. For water to flow, the ditch needs a perfect slope. In the past, this was a difficult and slow process. Operators had to stop their machines often. They used tools like stakes and laser levels to check their work. These stops wasted time and fuel. If the slope was wrong, water would sit in one place. This could harm crops and require costly rework.For the recent project in Italy, the contractor needed to dig long ditches on uneven land. They had to keep the exact slope while working quickly. They knew if the ditches weren't perfect, water would collect and crops would be damaged. Eventually, they would have to start over. They needed a way to be accurate without all the stopping and starting.
The Smart Solution: FJD Easydig G31 Lite
To solve this challenge, the contractor installed the FJD Easydig G31 Lite on their excavator. This compact 3D guidance system is a huge step up from traditional methods. Instead of relying on manual checks, it gives the operator real-time feedback right inside the cab. The operator can see the exact position of the bucket, its slope, and its depth on a screen. This makes precise trenching possible without the need for constant manual checks.
According to the contractor, they found the slope guidance function was very useful. After setting exact angles for drainage ditches, they simply followed the on-screen guidance while digging. They didn't have to stop multiple times to check their work. In fact, they only needed to do one or two quick checks to confirm their accuracy during the entire process. The system handled all the hard work of maintaining the correct slope, making the job much simpler and faster.
Real Results in the Field
The moment they started using the FJD Easydig G31 Lite, the benefits were clear. The contractor reported an immediate and noticeable improvement in their work. The team was able to complete their ditching tasks 30% faster because they had fewer interruptions for rechecking their work. This also significantly reduced the need for manual labor, as there was no longer a need for frequent staking or surveying. A single check at a midpoint was all that was needed to ensure the ditches were perfect.
Because the system provided such accurate guidance, every ditch followed the exact designed slope, which ensured smooth water flow and much better drainage across the entire field. With less rework and a reduction in fuel consumption, the contractor saw real savings on their project costs. Even less experienced operators were able to use the system with confidence, thanks to its simple and easy-to-understand display. The FJD technology made a complex task easy for everyo the team.
FAQs About FJD Easydig G31 Lite
Q1: Why is slope control important in farmland drainage?Consistent slope ensures proper water flow, preventing waterlogging and improving crop health.
Q2: How does the FJD Easydig G31 Lite improve efficiency?
It eliminates repeated manual checks by showing real-time slope and depth, cutting rework and saving fuel.
Q3: Can the G31 Lite be used beyond farmland drainage?
Yes. It’s also suitable for small-scale construction, landscaping, trenching, and utility work where precision digging is required.
A Brighter Future for the Farm
For the farm owner, the results were a big success. The new drainage ditches were sloped just right. This meant water flowed evenly across the field. It stopped water from collecting in puddles. This created a much healthier environment for crops to grow. Better water management also makes farming more sustainable over time.
This project shows how new technology can improve simple farm tasks. By making drainage ditches more accurate, farmers save time and money. They also build smarter water systems. The right technology can make every part of farming better and more productive for the future.
