MG AGRIMACHINE | Digital Control of Agricultural Equipment

The MASCHIO GASPARDO solution for digitising agricultural equipment

With MG AGRIMACHINE, even your mechanical equipment becomes part of your digital farm.

The kit is installed on non-electronic MASCHIO GASPARDO machinery, specifically mulchers, power harrows and subsoilers, and allows you to automatically record operational data, track GPS position and view your work history via the MG portal: our cloud.

A solution designed for those who want greater control over the work carried out and to access the tax benefits of Agriculture 4.0.

What is MG AGRIMACHINE?

MG AGRIMACHINE is the MASCHIO GASPARDO kit that adds digital tracking and management to non-electronic mechanical equipment.

The system consists of an MG AGRIMACHINE control unit and a multi-hole magnetic plate; it is powered directly by the tractor and transmits data via a data SIM to the cloud, making it available on the portal.

It is a simple and straightforward solution, designed to provide farmers with the essential information for monitoring their work:

• Location: where the machine is located and operates;
• Operating hours: how many actual hours have been accumulated;
• Activity history: a complete record of the operations carried out over time.

MG AGRIMACHINE is designed to be used in conjunction with the equipment, as an integral part of the machine system.

What MG AGRIMACHINE has to offer (Key Benefits)

Access to the 4.0 programme

This allows mechanical equipment to be included in the incentive schemes, thereby maximising the value of investment in traditional machinery as part of a company’s digitalisation programme.

GPS Tracking

The ability to view the location of machinery via the MG portal and automatically record working hours, which is useful for operational management. This means you can always know where your equipment is and monitor its usage easily and instantly.

Production history

This information can also be accessed via customisable reports and charts, to improve business organisation. The archived information also allows for greater traceability of operations over time.

The MG AGRIMACHINE kit and how it works

Kit contents

The MG AGRIMACHINE kit includes the electronic control unit (ECU), the multi-hole magnetic plate, the 3-pin DIN 9680 adapter cable and the power extension lead. The system is powered directly from the tractor, whilst an internal battery takes over in the event of brief power cuts, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Compatible equipment

MG AGRIMACHINE is designed to be easily fitted to a wide range of agricultural machinery. The system detects the machine’s status (working, transport, stationary). This flexibility allows for the collection of consistent data across different types of machinery, providing a comprehensive and comparable overview of performance over time. For other models or to check specific compatibility, please contact your local MASCHIO GASPARDO dealer.

Cloud-based documentation

All data collected is stored in MG Portal, where it is organised into intuitive dashboards and downloadable reports. The information includes GPS tracking, areas worked and operating times. This digital environment allows you to accurately document the work carried out, improve operational management and create a reliable history that is also useful for performance analysis.

Access via smartphone

Access to data is immediate thanks to the MG Agrimachine app, available for iOS and Android devices, which communicates with the control unit via Bluetooth and allows real-time viewing of key operational information. The app also saves the latest update for offline viewing. This enables the operator to constantly monitor machine activity and usage directly from their smartphone.

FAQ

On which MASCHIO GASPARDO machines can MG AGRIMACHINE be fitted?

MG AGRIMACHINE is designed for non-electronic MASCHIO GASPARDO machinery. The main application categories are mulchers, rotary harrows and cultivators. For other models or to check specific compatibility, please contact your local MASCHIO GASPARDO dealer.

Does MG AGRIMACHINE provide access to the benefits of the Agriculture 4.0 Plan?

Yes. MG AGRIMACHINE is designed to support the process of realising the benefits of the Agriculture 4.0 Plan for non-electronic equipment. The regulatory framework and the necessary documentation vary depending on the specific context: for information on eligibility for current incentives, we recommend that you contact your dealer or tax adviser.

How do you fit the MG AGRIMACHINE kit?

Installation is quick: the control unit is secured to the machine using the multi-hole magnetic plate, the adapter cable is connected to the tractor’s DIN 9680 connector, and the power extension cable completes the electrical connection. Once the data licence has been activated, the system is ready to be configured by an authorised technical support service.

Can I move the MG AGRIMACHINE from one machine to another?

MG AGRIMACHINE is designed to be used with a single piece of equipment. The kit must not be transferred from one machine to another: each piece of equipment requires its own configuration. This ensures that work data is recorded correctly and that the operational documentation remains valid.

What happens if the data licence is not active or is not renewed?

Without an active data licence, MG AGRIMACHINE does not transfer information to the MG portal: consequently, work data, GPS tracking and the work history are not updated.

How do you purchase an MG AGRIMACHINE?

MG AGRIMACHINE is purchased as part of a package with a MASCHIO GASPARDO machine, within a single quotation, to qualify for tax relief. It can also be sold separately for customers who wish to track the work of individual MASCHIO GASPARDO machines. To ensure correct operation, the device must always be used in conjunction with the machinery.
