AgGPS AuTOSENSE STEERING SENSOR

This unique steering sensor measures highly accurate wheel angle information on all terrain. With patented technology the AutoSense™ steering sensor obtains information—without the use of moving parts or linkages—and continuously sends that information to the AgGPS NavController II.

VEHICLE INTERfACE

The vehicle interface receives navigation commands from the AgGPS NavController II, which controls the vehicle’s steering when engaged. The AgGPS Autopilot system supports ISO 11783, fly-by-wire, factory auto guidance components, or Trimble hydraulic control valves.

AgGPS NAVCONTROLLER II

The NavController II sends T3 terrain compensated corrections and precise steering instructions to the vehicle by using guidance and GPS information from the FmX™ integrated display.

LARGE IMPLEMENTS

Control your large implements and minimize the effects of draft with no additional steering hardware. Large implements draft considerably with varying soil conditions and ground moisture.

CONTOuRS AND TERRACES

The TrueGuide system can guide the implement to the line, even in the most difficult field patterns. Tow your implement online when its natural tendency is to pull through curves.

ROLLING TERRAIN

Rolling terrain creates unpredictable implement movements. Control the effects of rolling terrain on the implement by adjusting on the go.

HILLSIDES

Minimize the effect of downdraft on severe hillsides. Let your AgGPS Autopilot system pull the implement up the hill and hold the line.

AgGPS AUTOPILOT AUTOMATED STEERING SYSTEM WITH FmX INTEGRATED DISPLAY

The Trimble® AgGPS® Autopilot™ automated steering system provides one-inch repeatability

from plant to harvest with any field pattern, and extends your operating hours with

incredible precision.

Trimble RTK networks currently cover over 407 million acres of North American

farmland with additional acreage being added all the time. A network consists

of a number of fixed RTK base stations that independently broadcast RTK

correction signals so the vehicle can obtain sub-inch accuracy. Contact the

Trimble reseller in your area to find out if they manage an RTK network and

whether an annual or semi-annual fee is required.

RTK GPS Networks

AgGPS TRUEGUIDE IMPLEMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM

• The TrueGuide system is a “passive” guidance system that controls the

implement. It uses the AgGPS Autopilot automated steering system to move

the tractor and keep the implement online.

• More control over your implement means more precision in seed and fertilizer placement, and

consistent guess rows.

• Adding the TrueGuide system to the Autopilot system typically reduces the

uncontrolled drift of the implement by more than 50% over guiding the tractor alone.

USE THE SECONDBUILT-IN RECEIVER

Open up the power of the FmX integrated display by activating the built-in second receiver, and adding the TrueGuide system to the guidance controls.

EASILY ADD IMPLEMENT CONTROL

The TrueGuide™ system uses the existing Autopilot system to improve implement accuracy. There is no need to hang additional steering equipment on the implement just to get better control.

Let the tractor guide the implement.

CONTROL WHERE IT COUNTS

If the implement is moving, how effective is the automated steering? Control the point that is doing all the work—the implement.

AG25 GNSS ANTENNA

The AG25 antenna is encased in a single, rugged housing and mounts to the implement to provide 1" pass-to-pass and year-to-year accuracy to the NavController II mounted on the implement.

AgGPS NAVCONTROLLER II

The NavController II sends T3 terrain compensated corrections and precise steering instructions to the implement by using guidance information from the FmX integrated display and RTK positions from the antenna mounted on the implement.

IMPLEMENT GuIDANCE SYSTEM

The Trimble® TrueTracker implement steering system works with any implement that can be mechanically steered. This includes potato equipment, planters, strip tillage rigs, and 3-point mounted equipment. Supplemental systems such as the Orthman® Tracker IV or Sunco Acura Trak can be added to most implements, making them controllable with the TrueTracker system.

TRIMBLE TRANSCEND POSITIONING TECHNOLOGY

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is more than just GPS. With the emergence of new constellations like the GLONASS constellation from Russia, Galileo in EU, COMPASS in China and more to come, Trimble products are being designed with an eye to the future. The new generation of products will use Trimble’s proprietary Transcend™ technology, with the industry’s most advanced GPS chipset for more accuracy in more places. Transcend is shared across multiple platforms - from our current lightbars and GPS receivers to next-generation GNSS products such as the new AG25 GNSS antenna. The following is a brief overview of the changing world of GNSS.

Trimble technology embraces GNSS

GLONASS (RUSSIA) The Russian version of GPS currently includes 20 satellites and is predicted to increase to 30 satellites by 2011. Adding those extra satellites can make a significant difference in uptime for anyone who can reference both the US and Russian systems with one receiver. The Trimble® AgGPS® 442 receiver, AG25 GNSS antenna and the FmX™ integrated display can currently receive signals

from both GPS and GLONASS.

COMPASS (CHINA)

In May, Trimble announced a joint venture with the China Aerospace Science & Industry Academy of Information Technology (CASIC-IT). Fifty percent owned by Trimble and 50 percent owned by CASIC-IT, it will combine the commercial expertise, knowledge and technologies of both CASIC-IT and Trimble.

GALILEO (EUROPEAN UNION)The Galileo system is expected to be fully operational by 2013 and interoperable with GPS and GLONASS. The new AG25 antenna is Galileo-ready.

GROUND-BASED CORRECTION

No matter what satellite constellation is used, ground-based correction signals such as RTK and VRS will continue to help improve accuracy. Trimble RTK tower networks provide sub-inch repeatable correction on more than 400 million acres worldwide. Trimble was the first company to offer VRS and currently has placed more than 3,000 VRS reference stations in over 50 countries.

RTK SYSTEM

For +/-1 inch accuracy you can use the RTK

network provided by the Trimble dealer in your

area, or set-up an RTK base station on your

farm to send corrected GPS positions to your

tractor via radio.

Ag GPS AUTOPILOT RTK AND TRUETRACKER IMPLEMENT STEERING SYSTEMS

The AgGPS® TrueTracker™ system keeps implements on a repeatable path, even on

extremely sloped fields and variable soils. It includes a GPS antenna and T3 terrain

compensation technology mounted on the implement. The AgGPS FmX™ integrated

display in the tractor communicates guidance information to the TrueTracker system,

instantly adjusting implements such as tillage tools, strip tillers, drills, 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.

WEEDSEEKER AND GREENSEEKER - OPTICAL, ON-THE-GO CROP SENSORS

Now there’s an easier way to apply the correct amount of fertilizer and chemicals to your field. With the acquisition of NTech and its industry-leading GreenSeeker® and WeedSeeker® products, Trimble now offers on-the-go, crop-sensing technologies. Whether you choose to map crop vigor (NDVI), vary rates of application, or just spot spray where undesired plants exist, Trimble has a product for every situation, helping to optimize placement of crop inputs, increase yield, and reduce environmental impact.

The GreenSeeker RT200 nitrogen application system offers a more efficient and precise way

to manage crop inputs such as nitrogen.

The technology allows you to apply the right amount, in the right place, at the right time in

real time. Profits increase by an average $15 per acre.

The GreenSeeker RT200 system allows on-the-go zone management of top/side dress

nitrogen. It "talks" to the plant instead of the soil... effectively giving the plant a physical.

It verifies the amount of the nitrogen the soil has made available in season, then writes a

nitrogen prescription for the applicator to instantly deliver. The result is optimum placement

of nitrogen, eliminating costly waste and extra field passes. You’ll find improved yield,

lower nitrogen cost and increased profits.

In addition, the GreenSeeker RT200 system measures and records crop health, as a

vegetative index (NDVI), along with target and as-applied rates. These NDVI values and

rates are geo-referenced to produce a vigor map, target map, and as-applied maps for

complete record management.

CUT WEED-CONTROL COSTS BY UP TO 80%

The WeedSeeker system helps you save on chemical costs, cut down on time and labor, and

reduce the environmental impact of your field activities.

The patented WeedSeeker technology uses advanced optics and computer circuitry to sense if

a weed is present. When a weed enters the sensor's field of view, it signals a spray nozzle to

deliver a precise amount of herbicide. The WeedSeeker system will spray only weeds, not bare

ground, and is effective wherever weeds occur intermittently.

The WeedSeeker is being used in agriculture, as well as along roadsides, railroad rights-of-way,

airport runways, parking lots, parks, hiking trails, etc. The possibilities are limitless.

The same AgGPS® FmX™ integrated display that you use with your precision guidance and control applications can also be used for your water management operations. With data collection, design and control functionality built right into this powerful display, managing your leveling and drainage operations has never been easier or more defined.

SURVEY—DESIGN—LEVEL

Topographic data can be collected via the FmX integrated display while using the AgGPS Autopilot™ system, or by using the FmX display as a stand-alone. Using the collected topographic data, you can design the shape of the field, or slopes of your drainage structures, right on the FmX integrated display. With the completed design you can immediately start leveling or installing drainage structures. The FieldLevel II system on the FmX integrated display allows you to survey, design, level or install—all from the convenience of the cab. If you need to explore more scenarios for field designs, simply take the topographic survey to the office and work with AgGPS MultiPlane software. The finished MultiPlane design can quickly be loaded into the FmX integrated display to shape the field surface.

The FieldLevel II system has an ever-expanding range of features to address all of your water management needs.
