Rate Control Does Even More
November 9, 2011 
Direct Command | Ag Leader
Ag Leader’s DirectCommand is a multi-functional application system capable of liquid and granular control. When coupled with one of Ag Leader’s industry-leading displays — INTEGRA or VERSA — the system offers many features including rate control, AutoSwath, data logging and more. DirectCommand allows for complete product operation on sprayers, spreaders, strip-till, NH3 and other fertilizer toolbars. Ag Leader displays support the NORAC UC5 boom height control system — ensuring ideal crop coverage without drift or wasted product.
GreenStar Rate Controller | John Deere
The John Deere GreenStar Rate Controller allows GreenStar displays to integrate with NH3 applicators, self-propelled and trailed sprayers, liquid manure applicators and liquid fertilizer applicators. The benefit to the operator is an integrated solution that can be used on many different brands of equipment and is easily transferred among machines to provide automatic rate control, field documentation, map-based prescriptions, and Swath Control Pro automatic section control.
AI-120 | DICKEY-john
The DICKEY-john AI-120 virtual terminal is the “next generation” console providing all-in-one control for planting, spraying, and spreading applications. Simple icon-based management of multiple simultaneous precision farming tasks are performed for variable rate application, auto section control, data logging, mapping, and implement setup. The terminal is ISO11783-compliant, providing plug-and-play functionality with connection to most implements. Features include a 12.1-inch display, icon-based user interface, autosteering capability with Topcon receiver, coverage mapping with as-applied maps, and import of XML prescription maps.
ProPlant Seed Rate Controller | Micro-Trak Systems
The ProPlant Seed Rate Controller turns a planter into a precision machine. The most cost-effective system available, it offers performance, reliability, and versatility — as well as the easiest set-up and operation, says Micro-Trak. Features include three pre-set seed rates (user programmable), on-the-go seed rate adjustment, VRA seeding capability, auto section control, and much more. Micro-Trak Seed Rate Drives are also compatible with systems from Ag Leader, Trimble, John Deere, Topcon and Raven.
Viper Pro | Raven Industries
The Viper Pro multi-function field computer is the best in its field with extra power and capability to drive even the most advanced system functions with ease, says Raven. With guidance and steering, variable-rate application, boom control, real-time weather records and data mapping Viper Pro is built to deliver. It’s Slingshot-ready for wireless data transfer, remote support,
fleet management and more.
IC 18 ISOBUS Rate Control | TeeJet Technologies
The IC 18 Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is an ISOBUS-certified module that is available for rate control on sprayers, NH3 applicators, and dry spreaders. Combined with the BoomPilot ECU (which includes an integrated GPS receiver), the system can provide automatic on/off control for up to 10 boom sections. The IC 18 provides plug and play capability for vehicles already equipped with a virtual terminal (such as the Deere 2600 display), preventing additional cab clutter and allowing growers to use a familiar interface. Alternatively, the TeeJet Matrix 570 VT is an available option for vehicles not currently equipped with a virtual terminal.
System 350 | Topcon Precision Agriculture
The Topcon System 350, featuring the all new X30 Console, is a complete all-in-one precision farming platform. In addition to auto steering with accuracy from WAAS to RTK, the X30 provides visibility of multiple control loops and sensors from its customizable “on screen” dashboard and drag-and-drop or sliding “mini view” windows. The X30 is compatible with selected Topcon and DICKEY-john ECU’s for rate and section control, performing variable rate control of up to eight products. The X30 can import prescription maps and generate real-time as-applied log maps in both .shp and ISO-XML formats.
Field IQ | Trimble
The Trimble Field-IQ crop input control system is a section control and variable rate application control system. It prevents seed and fertilizer overlap, controls the rate of material applications, and monitors up to 96 seed sensors or fertilizer blockage in real time. With Field-IQ, growers can increase yields and save input costs when planting, spraying, spreading or fertilizing.
