AG GCS200

Trimble’s AG GCS200 system is specifically designed for land leveling and drainage applications. It works in conjunction with a laser transmitter to provide automatic machine control of implements such as scrapers and drainage machines, helping farmers to manage water on their fields regardless of crop type or water requirements. The system is ideal for implements with PT valves, and can use either dual rigid mast control, or single electric mast control. Key components include the LR410 laser receiver and the new CB60 control box, providing a digital elevation display that can be used in both survey and control modes.

VersaSteer Interface

The VersaSteer interface (VSi) from Hemisphere GPS is a new electric steering wheel option for the Outback eDrive automated steering system. eDriveVSi’s electrically controlled steering wheel adds to the versatility and ease of automated steering, as it can quickly be added to a variety of machinery including swathers (windrowers), tractors, sprayers, and harvesters. Coupled with an Outback guidance system, eDriveVSi delivers decimeter-level steering control accuracy ideal for broadacre applications such as swathing, spraying, spreading, and more. eDriveVSi provides a portable alternative to the eDriveTC hydraulic-based steering system and eDriveX, a centimeter-level steering system. The new system automatically steers the vehicle along straight lines, or free-form curved patterns. Its electrically controlled steering wheel replaces the existing steering wheel in the vehicle and interfaces with eDrive to support farm machinery where automated hydraulic steering interfaces are not practical.
