From Construction Sites to Farmlands: G31 Lite Unlocks the Power of Smart Farming

Generally, 3D excavator systems are used for building roads, laying pipes, or city projects. But our FJD Easydig G31 Lite 3D Excavator Guidance System is changing that. It's proving how valuable it is for many different farm jobs in Europe. From digging trenches in fields to leveling farmland, the G31 Lite is known for being lightweight, super accurate, and easy to use.

Because of this, it's quickly becoming a smart choice for farmers who want to modernize their machinery and bring digital tech to their farms. In this blog, we'll share three stories where the G31 Lite recently helped with farming tasks in Europe and Asia.

 

Precise Irrigation Trenching on a German Farm

In Germany, one of our customers put the G31 Lite system on their mini agricultural crawler fitted with a backhoe attachment. They used it mainly to dig very precise trenches for farm irrigation. These jobs need super careful control over how deep the trench is and its slope. If there is any deviation, water won't spread right, and the land might not be usable for the long term.

Before, they had to constantly get off their machines to measure the depth by hand. This took a lot of time and often led to mistakes. But with the G31 Lite, they can now see exactly where the bucket is on a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Because the system uses GNSS (like GPS) and attitude sensors, digging trenches becomes fast and accurate, and they don't need years of experience or skill to do it right.

The customer was especially impressed with how easy the G31 Lite system is to use. They highlighted that even someone who had never used it before could quickly get the hang of it. This user-friendly design means farmers can save a significant amount of time that would otherwise be spent on lengthy training sessions and complicated setup procedures. For busy farmers, this quick learning curve and reduced setup time are a big win.


 

Land Preparation in Croatia

In Croatia, another customer used the G31 Lite on a large excavator to get their fields ready for spring planting. Before sowing, they needed to loosen and flatten a big hilly area. This was important to help the soil breathe better and hold water, which are key for healthy crops.

These kinds of jobs don't just involve moving a massive amount of dirt; they also demand extremely precise control over the land's slope. This careful attention to detail is crucial to prevent valuable topsoil from being washed away by rainfall, which can be a common problem on uneven terrain.

Thankfully, with the G31 Lite's segmented slope setting feature, the operator could easily adjust the grade of the land in real time and adapt to every slope in the terrain. This ensured that each part of the field met the exact target standard for flatness and drainage. Because of this, their overall work was over 30% more efficient compared to how they used to do it. Plus, the quality of the leveled land was much better.
 
 


Modernizing Farms in Indonesia

In Indonesia, where farming is constant and takes a lot of effort, one farm is now using smart technology to make their daily work easier. They've put the FJD Easydig G31 Lite system on their excavators for digging trenches, and their bulldozers now have special control systems for leveling large areas of land. This has led to a big jump in both how fast they work and how good the results are.
Because the land in this area is often uneven and needs complicated drainage, fields regularly need new trenches and slope adjustments. Before, these jobs depended a lot on what workers knew from experience. This often meant work was slow, and they had to redo things many times.

But with the Easydig G31 Lite system, excavator operators can now control exactly how deep they dig and where to dig, all by looking at a screen. At the same time, the bulldozers use GNSS positioning (like advanced GPS) and slope guidance to flatten the land quickly and consistently.

The customer said, "Now, we get more than twice the work done in just one day, and it's even more accurate!" This really shows how much better things are since they upgraded to this FJD digital system.
 

Why G31 Lite Is Great for Farming?

The G31 Lite works smoothly in farming because it brings together accurate measurement, flexible setup, and an easy-to-use design. It gives farmers guidance that's accurate down to the centimeter, right when they need it. Plus, it works with many different small and medium-sized agricultural machines.

It's easy to set up and use, making it perfect for farms. It's a big help when farmers need really precise work but might not have highly experienced operators around. Whether you're digging water channels in fruit fields or flattening big open areas, the G31 Lite means less measuring by hand, faster work, and lower overall costs.


Conclusion

When farming meets modern digital building technology, even the oldest ways of working the land can become smarter and much more efficient. In this amazing change, the G31 Lite is truly making a big difference on farms all over the world. It's helping farmers achieve new levels of precision, productivity, and profitability, transforming daily tasks into streamlined, high-tech operations.
