  • NEW! Tru Count clutches by Trimble automatically controls planter rows ON/OFF for precise seed placement.
  • Hopper level sensor provides real time feedback on hopper level status in planter applications.
  • Planter application modules monitor and control all sensors in the system while communicating with the FieldManager display.
  • Air pressure/Vacuum sensor mounts inside of planter seed tanks to provide real time air pressure readings to the system.
  • Shaft speed monitoring, an application rate sensor measures shaft rotation speed, enabling accurate feedback for product control.
  • Product control, provides seed, granular, and liquid control via pulse width modulated hydraulic valves and /or servo valves.
  • Seed sensor, blockage or high rate population style seed sensor provides seed population or blockage information to the system.
  • Implement switch enables ON/OFF control based on implement position.
  • Shaft speed sensor provides the revolutions per minute (RPM) of any shaft on the implement.
  • Ground speed sensor provides accurate vehicle speed information for precise product control.
  • Product monitoring, a liquid flow meter ensures accurate feedback to the liquid control channel for optimal control accuracy.

Accurate monitoring and control for planter applications

In combination with the AgGPS® FmX™ integrated display, the planter functionality allows for seed, liquid, and granular application by providing:

  • Monitoring and control for up to 4 products
  • Monitoring for up to 148 rows of seeding (Population and blockage type sensors supported)
  • Monitoring for 1 hopper level sensor
  • Monitoring for 1 air pressure or 1 RPM sensor
  • Implement switch input for ON/OFF control based on implement position
  • The choice of speed input (GPS, Radar, or the ability to enter Manual Speed)
  • Advanced mapping with the ability to track varieties and log attributes
  • Variable Rate Technology (VRT) capabilities for up to 4 products
  • Advanced Overlap Control via Tru Count clutches
