Planter Performance on Demand
Strategic retrofits transform planters without new iron. ExactEmerge and SpeedTube hold spacing at higher speeds, DeltaForce maintains seed depth across variable soils, and SmartFirmer reads in-furrow conditions to adjust populations and inputs on the go for uniform emergence.
Spray Smarter With Less
See & Spray Ultimate identifies weeds in-row and spot-applies herbicide to cut chemical use dramatically. Topcon Norac Boom Height keeps nozzles at the ideal height for uniform coverage and low drift, and Raven VSN maintains row guidance without foam markers. In orchards, SmartApply tailors output to canopy volume with LiDAR to reduce waste and drift.
Harvest Automation, Better Grain
CLAAS CEMOS Automatic, Case IH AFS Harvest Command, and AGCO IDEALcombine continuously optimize threshing and separation. Headsight Horizon maintains header position over uneven terrain, and John Deere HarvestLab 3000 delivers real-time forage constituents to guide quality decisions. Tie it together with Trimble Autopilot or Ag Leader SteerCommand and SteadySteer, and capture everything in Operations Center or FieldView.
