AGCO SYSTEM 150

Unprecedented levels of machine control and accuracy now are provided with System 150, the highly advanced but simple-to-use automatic steering system from AGCO’s Advanced Technology Solutions group. System 150 removes much of the tedium of field operations, leaving drivers free to focus on equipment and performance.

Using satellite navigation, System 150 steers tractors, combines and other vehicles on the concept that every pass will be parallel to the first, and it ensures that the first pass itself is straight. The system is easily transferred between ‘Auto-Guide Ready’ vehicles by moving the Topdock and GX-45 console.

In addition to steering and mapping, System 150 aids with machine management and precision application. It provides remote diagnostics and automatic monitoring as well as records of machine movements.

AGCO precision farming tools support variable rate of application for fertilizer, pesticides and seed, matched to the yield potential of specific parts of individual fields. Fieldstar II uses a large, clear, touch-sensitive screen. Logged data is transferred by SD card to the office PC. Fieldstar II provides the operator with streams of information and the ability to alter settings.

C1000: This in-cab screen can be used in Massey Ferguson, AGCO and Challenger wheeled tractors. It will control both brands’ ISOBUS-compliant big balers and MF and White planters. It is operated with a series of buttons and a rotary dial.

C2000: This unit performs the same functions as the C1000 with a larger, touch-sensitive screen. It operates the Fieldstar II system on machines such as combine harvesters and Falcon VT on application machines. It can also be used to control White and MF planters.
