Hour counter
Hour counter for machines and implements
Agreto hour meter
Agreto hour meters are suitable for all types of machines. Depending on their version, counting takes place via vibration / movement or via a sensor.
The new AgriCounter Vibration hour meter can be installed on a foldable side part or chassis part to enable the separate summation of working time (use in the field) and travel time (travel to the field) based on any changes to the meter’s position (angle).
Benefits of hour meters
- Reliable information on the actual number of hours that the machine has been used
- Fair billing base between partners according to real use
- Optimisation of service intervals for operating time
- Recording of working times as evidence for authorities, etc.
Who are the typical customers?
Farmers
The cost of purchasing and using a machine can be very high. When calculating the cost of use, farmers need to know the exact operating hours of their machines.
Agricultural contractors
Machinery used by agricultural contractors often does not have accurate time recording. The AgriCounter enables travel and working times to be precisely recorded.
Machinery rental
Farmers or companies who own machines for rent do not want to have to rely on the estimations of their rental customers. The AgriCounter ensures that the actual times are recorded in an absolutely tamper-proof way.
Machine communities
Machine communities and cooperatives need a simple but reliable billing base for their machines. The AgriCounter is the ideal device for this.
The ideal version for any application
VibroCounter II
The standard counter for all machines that generate vibrations during use
AgriCounter Vibration
The version for the separate determination of travel time and working time
RotoCounter II
The counter for all machines with a PTO shaft
Which machines are the hour meters suitable for?
Tillage equipment
Most tillage equipment does not have on-board electronics. However, a counter can be mounted on the machine to determine the operating hours. If the AgriCounter Vibration is mounted on a foldable side panel or on the wheel suspension which is raised, the real working hours and the travel time hours can be determined separately.
Grassland and care machines
Grassland and crop care machines are often shared by several farmers. Here an hour counter can enable the working hours to be determined exactly. If necessary, a distinction can be made between travel time and real working hours.
Forestry equipment
The operating hours of forestry machines are also worth recording, either for billing or for proof of operating times.
Other machines
Agreto hour meters can also be used outside agriculture on all types of machinery to determine operating hours.
