Topcon Introduces X25 Console for Precision Control
September 2, 2014 
Topcon Precision Agriculture (TPA) has released the X25 Console – a new color touch-screen unit with 8-inch display, designed for productivity and ease-of-use.
The X25 offers full-featured precision machine control and high accuracy auto-steering in a smaller package for the price-conscious farmer seeking to increase machine automation while lowering input costs. It provides the ideal second display, but is powerful enough to serve as the economical hub of a precision farming operation.
“The X25 utilizes a next generation processor platform while leveraging the same core Horizon software from our industry-leading X30 display,” said Kevin Cobb, TPA director of product planning. “The same intuitive user interface with drag and drop menus, configurable mini views, dashboard and ISO compatibility result in a very competitive solution from Topcon.”
The X25 offers year-round precision tools – including guidance, auto-steering, planter and seeder control, application control and mapping – in a single package designed to eliminate cab clutter.
“X25 provides a full range of steering patterns including AB line, identical curve, pivot, and controlled traffic. It also offers GuideLock, one of the most sought-after Topcon features,” stated Cobb.
Working modes include Topcon ASC-10 based section control (up to 30 sections), ISO-based section control (up to 32 sections), spinner/spreader control, sprayer control, straight rate and variable rate product control, row crop planter interface, and compatibility with boom leveling via ISO.
Mapping and documentation includes PDF job reports, as-applied data, ISO TaskData, HD prescription mapping support, import/export .shp file, import/export ISOXML and compatibility with Topcon SGIS data management software.
“With the X25, Topcon now offers a ‘family’ of user-friendly X consoles that provide more choices in precision, allowing customers to make better production decisions,” said Cobb. “The Topcon X Family is modular in design and runs on Topcon Horizon software, allowing a mix and match of consoles across one operation.“
“Topcon Horizon software provides the new X25 with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface designed specifically for agriculture,” added Harlan Little, TPA product planning manager. “Horizon software’s modular design enables all of our control platforms from auto steering and guidance, crop input controls and water conservation, to farm information services.
“Horizon lets customers buy what they value, while offering the connectivity for future growth or upgrade path.”
