Which one?

Three product groups for the farm


Pick by the work in front of you. Most farms run a grade laser plus one of the others – the laser sets the reference, the rest is how the work gets done.

01 · Grade Laser

Grade Laser

The reference plane on a tripod. Sets datum and slope across paddock-scale distances. Read with a millimetre receiver on a staff for setting out, checking RL, marking dam batters, channel grades.

02 · Laser Automation

Laser Automation

The receiver bolts onto the blade hydraulics through a control box. Operator sets the cut, the system drives the blade to the laser plane automatically. Trim quality on every pass for finished pads and channels.

03 · Fencing Kit

Fencing Kit

Different beast – a vertical-alignment laser with a 9× scope and Auto-Align. Lines up fence posts solo over hills and gullies, with the same laser that does horizontal work the rest of the year.

Product Group One

Rotating grade lasers


Three rotating grade lasers suited to farm work – Class 2 to Class 3 red-beam, all IP66 rated for paddock conditions. The DGL1010GM covers up to 500 m radius from one set-up, perfect for big paddock layouts and channel runs.

Product Group Two

Laser automation systems


Single-ram (MCR900) for skid-steer blades and land planes; dual-ram (MCR910) for blades with two independent rams. Pair with one of the grade lasers above and the receiver drives the blade hydraulics to match the laser plane automatically.

Custom installs are common – we tailor systems for tractors, skid-steers, posi-tracks, loaders and land planes. See the full Machine Automation page for setup detail and FAQs, or call 1800 769 858 with your machine and implement.

Product Group Three

Fencing laser kit


Solo fence post alignment over hills and gullies. Standard kit built around the EGL624GM rotating laser, plus the FVAK64 fencing add-on (9× variable zoom scope, fencing receiver, mount plate). Doubles as a horizontal site laser the rest of the year.

Farm lasers on the job

Short walkthroughs of the gear above doing farm work – aligning a fence line, setting a grade for falls and channels, dialling a digital grade, and what’s inside the MCR900 and MCR910 automation systems.

Use cases

Farming jobs a laser pays for itself on


Where a laser earns its keep on farm work – paddock-scale jobs that would otherwise eat days with a tape, a string line, or a dumpy.

01 · Irrigation

Land-levelling for irrigation

Run flood-irrigation grade across a paddock with a laser plane and an automated land plane. Even slope, no high spots, no ponds where the water shouldn’t sit.

02 · Channels

Channel grade

Set the laser to a known fall (1-in-1000, 1-in-2000, whatever the design calls for) and run the channel to grade for the entire length. Single laser set-up, hundreds of metres covered.

03 · Dams

Dam construction & batter

Set wall height and batter slope, hold the dam floor to design RL with the laser plane. Receiver on the staff confirms grade at every point in the cut.

04 · Fencing

Solo fence-post alignment

Vertical-alignment fencing kit lines up posts over hills and gullies, solo. 350-500 m of fenceline from one set-up, no second person, no drift through the run.

05 · Sheds

Animal-shed slab grade

Fall on a shed slab so it sheds water and is easy to wash down. Single grade laser sets a one-direction fall; dual grade for compound falls in larger sheds.

06 · Contours

Contour banks & grade banks

Set out contour banks for soil-conservation work. Laser holds level around the contour while you peg, no string-and-bubble back-and-forth.

Buyer’s Guide

How to choose a laser level for farm work


Match the laser to the job list. These are the straight picks for each job above – and if the property does a bit of everything, one dual grade laser covers most of it.

Land levelling for flood irrigation

Range first. The DGL1010GM covers a 500m radius (1000m diameter) from one set-up with digital grade to +/- 10.000% in both axes. Add an MCR900 or MCR910 automation system and the blade follows the laser plane automatically.

Irrigation channels & drainage falls

Any of the three grade lasers. The EGL624GM sets dual grades via its slope remote; the DGL1010GM dials the fall in digitally – the quickest and most accurate grade setting in the range.

Shed slabs, yards & tank pads

The EL614GM is the entry point: single grade via slope remote, 1-button Auto Grade Match to its 0.5mm receiver, and a 400m working radius. Step up to the EGL624GM or DGL1010GM if you need dual grades.

Fence lines

The Standard Fencing Laser Kit – EGL624GM laser, FVAK64 fencing add-on and 240HDF tripod & staff. Already own a compatible RedBack laser? The FVAK64 add-on alone converts it – see the Fencing Lasers page.

Height checks from the machine seat

The MR706 magnetic-mount machine receiver reads any red-beam rotating laser, so heights are checked from the seat instead of climbing down to the staff every pass.

Still tossing up? Call 1800 769 858 and tell us the work – we’ll match the laser to the farm, not the other way around.

FAQ

Farming laser questions


Which laser level do I need for farm work?

Three product groups cover farm work. A rotating grade laser is the reference plane on a tripod – it sets datum and slope across paddock-scale distances for land levelling, channel grades and dam batters. A laser automation system bolts the receiver onto the blade hydraulics and drives the blade to the laser plane automatically. A fencing kit is a vertical-alignment laser with a 9× scope for lining up posts solo. Most farms run a grade laser plus one of the others.

Can you use a laser level for fencing?

Yes – but not an ordinary horizontal-only laser. RedBack fencing kits are built around a rotating laser that also auto-levels in the vertical plane, paired with the FVAK64 add-on: a 9× variable zoom scope, fencing receiver and mount plate. The laser lines up fence posts solo over hills and gullies, and the same laser does horizontal work the rest of the year. Full detail on the Fencing Lasers page.

How much fence line can I mark out from one set-up?

350-500 m of fenceline from one set-up with the vertical-alignment fencing kit – no second person, no drift through the run. For longer runs you re-set the laser along the line and keep going. The Standard kit runs the EGL624GM; the Premium kit runs the 500m-radius DGL1010GM.

What equipment do I need for laser land levelling?

Two pieces. A rotating grade laser on a tripod sets the reference plane over the paddock. Then either a millimetre receiver on a staff for checks on foot, or a laser automation system for blade-driven work – the MCR900 (single ram) or MCR910 (dual ram) mounts a receiver on the blade and drives the hydraulics to the laser plane automatically, so you get trim quality on every pass.

Can I set up a laser levelling system on my tractor?

Yes – custom installs are common. We tailor automation systems for tractors, skid-steers, posi-tracks, loaders and land planes. The control box goes in the cab with a manual/auto switch, and the receiver mounts on the implement. Tell us the machine and the implement on 1800 769 858 and we’ll spec it, or see the Machine Automation page.

How does a laser set an irrigation channel grade?

Set the laser to a known fall – 1-in-1000, 1-in-2000, whatever the design calls for – and run the channel to grade for the entire length. Single laser set-up, hundreds of metres covered. The EGL624GM sets dual grades via its slope remote; the DGL1010GM dials the fall in digitally to +/- 10.000% in both axes.

Why can’t I see the laser beam outdoors?

Outdoors and at range, a rotating laser isn’t read by eye – it’s read with a receiver. On a staff, a millimetre receiver like the LR728 confirms grade at any point in the paddock. On a machine, the MR706 magnetic-mount receiver detects the beam through 360 degrees so heights are checked from the seat. That’s normal operation, not a fault – the beam is doing its job even when you can’t see it.

Can one laser do both levelling and fencing?

Yes – that’s the point of the RedBack fencing range. The EGL624GM and DGL1010GM auto-level in horizontal and vertical, so the same laser that lines up your fence posts runs levelling and grade work the rest of the year. The DGL1010GM covers the most ground: 500 m radius, digital dual-axis grade, and vertical alignment for fencing applications.

Real support. Real people.
