Topcon control (ISOBUS)
It's ISOBUS!
Smart. Accurate. Control.
This SAM is based on industry proven technology and decades of international experience.
The Topcon offers fast, accurate response in a user-friendly system. It gives precision for spreading all types of fertiliser, manure and animal waste. This technology means the correct application rate is applied, regardless of changes in forward speed or changes in your product density. You simply key in a couple of inputs and you are away!
This technology is simple, intuitive and very very smart. The system is ISOBUS so it can function with any compliant tractor console. Using your tractors existing screen and smarts.
Or go for a separate, generous, 8 1/2" colour touch screen display.
Integrated load cells use the weight of product to constantly check your spread rate accuracy.
Your options for set-up:
A) Topcon control - for ISOBUS tractor (including load cells and electric back door)
This measures the weight of product in the spreader, the floor speed is then automatically adjusted to achieve correct application rates. This advanced control means extra precision. You are getting automatic rate calibration. Advanced mapping proof of placement is dependant on the brand of display in your tractor. This set-up operates with both dynamic and static rate control. Spreader functions like spinner speed and border control are all monitored and operated through the touch screen.

We include a separate generous, 8.5” colour touch screen display and a GPS aerial for proof of placement, light bar and field mapping of your jobs. Record all details for improved traceability and record keeping. This set-up operates with both dynamic and static rate control. This is ISOBUS ready.
