Global positioning system
Trimble Navigation’s AgGPS EZ-Guide-Plus system is now available with the new AgGPS 252 multi-function global positioning system receiver.
It can now be used as an alternative to row markers for lightbar guidance in row crop planting as well as other field operations.
The system enables operators to choose their required level of GPS accuracy to manually steer farm equipment in consistent rows. It is modular and can be upgraded to Real Time Kinematic sub-inch accuracy recommended for use with the Trimble AgGPS Autopilot automated steering system.
The system can be installed on any field equipment in a few minutes.
It provides operators with intuitive and accurate guidance in bright or low light, wind and dust, fog, rain or even snow. Components include a lightbar with the unique combination of LEDs for off-line indication and integrated graphic LCD display for intuitive turn and curve guidance, and a survey-grade high performance antenna.
