Topcon has focused on developing an array of integrated positioning and automation technologies to meet the constantly changing demands facing agriculture.
The company produces a range of controllers and monitors covering equipment guidance, steering assistance, spraying, seeding, planting, fertilizing and spreading, incorporating auto-section and variable-rate control. Topcon provides the technological tools to reduce input cost and the need to ensure improved environmental control.
Building on the foundation of its steering and guidance products, Topcon’s newest products include the System 110 and the System 150.
The Topcon System 110 is a rugged field tool which delivers the next generation of operating simplicity in a lightbar guidance product. Lightweight and portable, the System 110 allows for operation in multiple guidance patterns with on-screen indicators for area applied, speed and row number, while building a color coverage map. With remote master hookup, System 110’s automatic coverage maps can be generated more accurately without additional work to protect against crossover.
The Topcon System 150 represents superior value for today’s farmer. On-screen visual aids, including the optional detachable lightbar and easy-to-read coverage maps, provide job information for complete application accuracy. Currently a range of steering ready tractors are supported. The System 150 Automatic Steering system has features such as boundary and u-turn recognition to make it easy to complete your turns and lock on to the next swath. The guidance dashboard provides on-screen indicators for area covered, speed, row number and satellite information, while building a color coverage map. Light weight and portable, the System 150 is simple to move from vehicle to vehicle. Use the USB port to easily transfer the file with field notes to your desk-top computer for printout.
