Keeps implements on a repeatable path, even on extremely sloped fields and variable soils The Trimble® AgGPS® TrueTracker™ system includes a GPS receiver and T3™ terrain compensation technology mounted on the implement. The AgGPS FieldManager™ display in the tractor communicates guidance information to the TrueTracker system, instantly adjusting implements such as tillage tools, strip tillers, drills and planters, cultivators, sprayers and harvesters to follow directly in the path of the tractor. With repeatable accuracy the TrueTracker system improves seedbed and nutrient placement helping to enhance crop stands and yields. |

Achieving true 1 inch RTK repeatability Fresh market potatoes are a high-value crop. But a little harvest damage can quickly peel away profits, especially on sloping fields. "Just a percent or two of damage can equate to a lot of dollars in lost income, so anything that keeps tire tracks off the potatoes pays huge dividends." "What we needed to make RTK work was true repeatability. We had to go back in on RTK-formed beds to plant, spray, cultivate and harvest, and stay off tubers in the process." Last year, Fecht found the answer: an AgGPS® TrueTracker™ implement steering system mounted on a pivot—hitch, pull—type Harriston planter. "Now that we are able to steer both tractor and implement, we have achieved true +/- 1 inch RTK repeatability". For more success stories from growers who use Trimble Agriculture products visit: |
