Topcon Agriculture hopes its new ‘Value Line’ auto steer system will provide more farmers access to precision technologies

Topcon Agriculture has released its new Value Line Steering solution, designed specifically for farmers using mid-range tractors on small to medium-sized farms.

The autosteering solution includes a Global Navigation Satellite System [GNSS] receiver, electric steering wheel controller, touchscreen console and Horizon Lite software, which is compatible with front-wheel-steer tractors.

Farmers also have the option to add local, satellite or RTK correction services, such as Topcon’s Topnet Live, for enhanced precision based on their unique needs.

The company says its Value Line Steering solution represents a significant step in making this type of technology more accessible to a broader range of farmers.

“With the Value Line, we are opening up opportunities for farmers who have older or smaller machinery, or smaller specialty farms, to boost the value of their machinery,” Topcon Agriculture executive vice president and general manager Antonio Marzia says.

“It is an integrated system designed to seamlessly work with a variety of tractors, including compliance with ISOBUS-UT functionality to offer universal compatibility and ease of use.”

Autosteering systems allow for more efficient use of resources, leading to reduced input costs for seeds, fertilisers and fuel.

Topcon says this not only improves the farm’s bottom line, but also contributes to more sustainable farming practices. It can also lead to improved crop yields due to the increased accuracy in the field.

“There is tremendous potential for growth in the agriculture industry, and Value Line is another step for Topcon in being a preferred partner in this evolving landscape by fostering adoption and effective collaboration both with original equipment manufacturers and the farmer,” Marzia says.

The Value Line Steering solution is available through Topcon Agriculture’s global network of authorised dealers.
