WHAT IS LASER LAND LEVELLING?
Why precise Land Levelling fields leads to inefficient use of irrigation water and
is using Laser Based Levelling Systems also delays tillage and crop establishment options.

Laser levelling maintains the grade by automatically

level grade and slope grade (one way or two ways)
can be achieved with the help of this precise system.
