What do they offer?
Topcon offers a complete line of agricultural products to help improve your productivity and efficiency - no matter how you farm.  Precision ag operations fall within one of four main groups: Steering and Guidance, Application Control, Planning & Documentation, and Water Management. Topcon provides advanced precision tools in all of these areas.

Steering and Guidance
Steering and Guidance are the most basic precision ag functions and are the foundation for almost every operation in the growing cycle. Topcon’s GPS+ utilizes both GPS and Glonass constellations for higher accuracy and satellite availability.

System 110
System 110 is a high specification light bar manual guidance system providing sub-metre accuracy from the 'free to air' EGNOS correction signal, whilst delivering maximum operating simplicity.

With features such as a detachable light bar for optimum 'field of view' placement and a 5 inch high-visibility colour display that operates in a separate 'day' and 'night' modes, system 110 will quickly become an essential tool for customers wishing to benefit from the use of manual assisted guidance in the field, and thats not to mention Interchangeable field views including overhead, perspective and north-up and multiple contour patterns.

Lightweight, rugged and portable, system 110 is easy to install and use 'straight out of the box' with minimal training or instruction and a simple on-screen setup. It also features quick action keys for simple operation and has on screen status indicators for pass number, speed and area applied, plus, it can be upgraded easily to an automatic steering system by adding an AGI-3 receiver and vehicle interface kit.*

System 150
The Topcon System 150 is a full featured, hands free steering system capable of delivering sub-metre, decimetre, and centimetre accuracy. System 150 installation kits for guidance ready AGCO tractors and machines are available. The system 150 AGI-3 receiver comes standard with sub-metre and decimetre accuracy and can be upgraded easily to centimetre accuracy.

This allows the customer to select the free to air EGNOS correction signal for sub-metre guidance, or purchase through AGCO an OmniSTAR VBS correction signal for sub-metre accuracy or HP correction signal for decimetre accuracy without having to purchase any additional authorisation codes or keys. If centimetre accuracy is required, a simple snap-in module for the AGI-3 receiver allows the system to work with an RTK correction signal.

The Snap-in module contains an RTK radio as well as enhanced inertial sensors for increased sensitivity. Again, no authorisation codes or keys are needed to upgrade to centimetre accuracy, only the snap-in module and an RTK base station or access to an RTK network are required.
