Case Study: Leo Dunne Ltd. achieves 20% higher field efficiency with Trimble TMX-2050 Autopilot RTK guidance

Carrot Farm Sees 20% Increase in Efficiency with RTK Guidance

Leo Dunne Ltd., a family farm in Durrow, Laois, Ireland that grows nearly 1,000 acres of carrots, vegetables and cereals, needed greater accuracy to make the most of short, changeable cultivation windows. After a poor experience with another system, they chose Trimble TMX-2050 displays with Autopilot and RTK through reseller Vantage Ireland to improve steering, field mapping and input management.

Retrofits and quick training let the farm start using the TMX-2050 immediately; Autopilot eliminated time-consuming three-point turns and reduced overlap, boosting field efficiency by about 20%. More accurate bed shaping and acreage mapping cut crop loss and input waste, Vehicle Sync ensured consistent passes between tractors, and strong local support has enabled expansion plans for additional units and precision-ag software.
