Scottish precision farming pioneer SoilEssentials has announced a new collaboration with Continental Automotive that makes it the UK’s first advanced dealer of the ProViu 360 Surround View system.

A total of four 1.3-megapixel cameras are used to deliver sharp images in HD resolution displayed on a rugged IP67 10-inch HD touch-screen display that gives the driver a clear picture of his surroundings and a bird’s eye view of his machine.
