isobus

Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland At the recent open day held by TFM in Templetuohy, Lemken had brought along a Solitair DT combination drill which took centre stage in its display area. This drill sets out to be something of a swiss army knife, capable of dealing with all sorts of...

What does smart touch do? Is it the same as Isobus? What I really want to know is could I use a Valtra with a smart touch screen to run a KV geo spread can the spreader be operated through the screen and does it include the connection plug on the back of the tractor or would other pieces be...

In the next 6 months we are due to take delivery of a guidance ready MF. A NovaTel basic receiver is pencilled in, but very cancellable. We have 2 topcon units, one is an aged Agco unit, hence the reluctance to take the Agco NovaTel. But Topcon give the impression of moving away from guidance...

What will a rough cost be? Looking at fert spreaders and they tend to be isobus 2015 onwards. May aswell try for autosteer aswell. We run a Massey 6480 t3 with datatronic (old isobus) I don't think this will do much with a modern machine. Can I add the data5 screen etc with a view everything can...

Am thinking of changing my fert spreader currently have a krm b2 on a bogey. Really like the way I can drive fast or slow and still spread the same. Am looking to put a spreader on my Clayton buggy. So am looking at older spreaders which have weigh cells. At moment I see a lot of Kuhn 40.1 or...

Looking to upgrade the speakers in my truck, she's a 2010 ford ranger. They start to pop and crackle if i turn the volume up a little, and sound very muddy. Also perhaps considering upgrading the centre console from the 6 CD changer and radio to one of those fancy bluetooth touchscreen units...

Have a Kuhn spreader with Amatron box, currently use it with my other tractor with an FM750 GPS but wanted to use my T7 with Intelliview screen and GPS. Man at Whites says the 2 aren't compatible, is this correct?? Seems odd. Hence my question. Kuhn does auto shut off etc so uses the speed and...

Hi. Hope this is in the right section. We have a 2008 amazone ZAM ultra fertiliser spreader with a Amatron + screen that we use on a case mx135 and mx110 so are looking for a way to put a gps speed input into the amatron + I have spoken to our local dealer who is beyond useless unfortunately (if...

Looking to invest in a new fert spreader. Had a twin disc sulky spreader covering ~150 acres. What are my options in terms of more accurate, high tech features? From what I've gathered it comes down to whether it has weighcells, section control and auto shut off. Anyone have experiences with...

I wanted to canvas opinion on systems that qualify under the farming equipment and technology fund FETF 50 (variable rate controller for sprayer) to give me section control. I've asked the company that looks after my sprayer and they don't seem responsive (perhaps don't know?) and tried several...

I have a Amatron 3 unlocked to section control via free EGNOS dome. It currently works on my sprayer which is 24m individual nozzle. I’m upgrading my sprayer tractor which will have RTK built in so have no use for the dome. I’m toying with the idea of upgrading the screen to Amantron 4 I wonder...

Is it possible to put a T into an an in cab isobus plug, to produce 2 sockets from one. Or does isobus not work like that?

So I have a Kuhn Venta 3030 drill which is full isobus. Have it on a fendt 724 Gen 6 with Section control enable Novatel guidance. After a couple of hours fiddling we managed to get the section control working. But not 100%. It will work for 1 or 2 bouts switching seeding on and off perfectly...

Here is a fantastic condition vaderstad drill what has arrived in the workshop for a retrofit isobus variable rate seeding kit. I will add more pictures for the kit as it's installed.

On a Jd 6155R with isobus but no autosteer will the speed signal from the gearbox or radar be supplied to the isobus so an isobus sprayer or fertiliser sower will know what speed it’s doing for the rate control

Just got a new Amazone ZA-TS spreader and we are having problems getting it to work with the section control on our XCN 2050 . Have tried both FM 1000 app and Precision IQ but neither work. Previously had another ZA-TS which worked fine, but now dealer is saying Amazone have new software which...
