Description
The ROW-GUARD camera steering system guides row-crop cultivators along the crop rows with absolute precision using a reliable and safe sideshift frame. This guarantees precise and close working of the weeding tools even at high speeds, while also relieving the driver and increasing accuracy.

Camera steering system ROW-GUARD
- Linear sideshift frame with 50 cm / 19.7″ sideshift (three different designs).
- Camera with latest camera hardware detects the plant rows and steers the sideshift frame to the centimetre (1)
- Independent operating monitor with the latest software technology recognizes 1-5 plant rows in HD and 2D/3D
- Can be hitched to different row-crop cultivators and 100 % compatible with Einböck hoeing technology
- Stabilizing wheels made of rubber or wheel flange in different widths
- Second camera for hoeing with SECTION-CONTROL (optional)
- LED lights for hoeing during the night (optional)
- Mechanical feeler for hoeing after row closure (Optional)
Shortest connection of sideshift frame and row-crop cultivator
Because of the narrow construction of the Einböck-linear-sideshift frame the centre of gravity remains very closely to the tractor. This construction offers the following advantages:
- Reduced axle load on the tractor and therefore reduced soil compaction
- The wider the construction of the sideshift frame, the higher the load on the rear axle and the lifting power requirement of the tractor increases
- The extremely narrow construction of the ROW-GUARD moves the centre of gravity only 20 cm / 7.90″ to the rear. Machines with parallelogram shifting extend the position of row-crop cultivator up to 80 cm / 31.50″ and more to the rear.
- Especially when fields are not straight or in hilly conditions the short construction is a big advantage.
One sideshift frame = several row-crop cultivators
Simple and quick coupling and uncoupling of the Einböck sideshift frame allows to use different row-crop cultivators with only one sideshift frame.
Latest version of hardware and software
-

-
Smooth and uniform movement thanks to a high-quality proportional valve
-
Millimeter-precise control of the linear side-shift frame
-
State-of-the-art, intuitive touchscreen terminal
-
100% functionality check before leaving the factory
-
Backup connection for manual control
Reliable plant detection across various row crops
The system can be used with various crops using the following color modes: green/blue, green/yellow, and red. It is suitable for row spacing from 12.5 cm and for plants starting from 1 cm in size (depending on the crop).
Flexible camera adjustment options
-
Number of rows: 1–5
-
Row spacing up to 1.5 m
-
Quick adjustment to different crop sizes
Best visibility – even in fields with heavy weed pressure and small crops
The software detects crop rows even in cases of heavy weed infestation and/or small plants. The settings can be easily adjusted depending on the conditions.
Stable position of the side-shift frame
Stabilizing wheels (rubber or metal, depending on conditions) help guide the cultivator precisely along the row. They are standard equipment and can be easily adjusted to different tractor track widths.
Maximum precision – second camera (optional)
The row crop cultivator can be controlled by two cameras simultaneously. Especially for very small crops, the additional camera, which monitors more plant rows, ensures excellent results.
It is particularly suitable for hoes with hydraulic lifting “SECTION-CONTROL”: for example, in tapered rows at the end of the field, at least one row always remains within the camera’s field of view. This ensures cultivation up to the last untreated row and guarantees weed control across the entire field.
