English term or phrase: Headland
Hola.
El contexto es:

The exclusive XXX allows him to automate
work on the headland.

Entiendo que el exclusivo XXX le permite automatizar el trabajo en las cabeceras. Pero no entiendo el significado. ¿Headlands= cabeceras de parcela?

Gracias.

cabecera / cabezal
Explanation:
Headland refers to a band of land - cabecera/cabezal - at each end of a field where the tractor is turned between rows without doing any useful work (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, etc.). The headlands are sometimes ploughed/sown after the rest of the field has been 'processed', if they are accessible without disturbing the main central area of the field.
