Today draft force measuring at lower links is realised on most tractors for electronic hitch control. Using an automatic process data acquisition system based on LBS (DIN9684/IS011783) and GPS, draft force as well as many other process data can be logged together with position Information during fieldwork. Draft force maps extracted from tillage data could bring useful additional site specific information for precision farming systems at low cost. The study on hand shows that a combination of draft force maps with maps of electromagnetic inductivity measuring offers some new Information about the site specific bedding of soil layers.      «
