The system includes the new Claas Cemis 1200 ‘smart’ display, GPS PILOT steering system and the SAT 900 GNSS receiver.
Trimble and Claas have formed a strategic alliance to develop a “next-generation” precision farming system for Claas tractors, combines and forage harvesters.
Already available for the Claas Trion combine harvester, the system is being expanded to be incorporated into the Lexion and Jaguar harvesters, alongside Arion and Axion tractors.
The system includes the new Claas Cemis 1200 ‘smart’ display, GPS PILOT steering system and the SAT 900 GNSS receiver. The display utilises Trimble’s new embedded modular software architecture for positioning, steering and ISOBUS technology. This delivers a seamless connection to control and monitor implements in the field.
The new architecture accelerates the development of a customized precision agriculture system by linking Claas’ machine interface and Trimble’s guidance capabilities into one common, in-cab user experience.
The CEMIS 1200 display connects with the GPS PILOT system and SAT 900 GNSS receiver, based on the Trimble NAV-900 guidance controller, for positioning and steering capabilities. This provides submetre repeatable accuracy ideal for tillage, broadacre seeding, spraying and harvest operations. For even greater accuracy, users can subscribe to CLAASbranded correction services from Trimble, called SATCOR, in order to achieve up to 2.5cm passto- pass accuracy without a base station.
“We understand the operators’ complexities of using separate displays with different user interfaces in the cab,” explains Jim Chambers, vice president of Trimble Agriculture. “Working in tandem with CLAAS, we have developed a nextgeneration precision farming system designed around one common user interface.”
Carsten Hoff, managing director, CLAAS E-Systems says as an experienced, innovative and global provider of precision agriculture solutions, Trimble was the company’s first choice as a technology partner.
“In addition, Trimble, supported by its subsidiary Müller-Elektronik, brings outstanding expertise in ISOBUS technology, which allows a display to control the machine and implement.”
Twin rotor swathers have become the ‘go-to’ for forming swaths to feed hungry harvesters and balers, however, the design layout often means that crop located between the two rotors is not picked up, turned over or incorporated into the swath formed for subsequent harvesting.
Operating large tractors became more expensive back in March due to the ongoing Strait of Hormuz conflict, meaning contractors had to introduce fuel surcharges and farmers had to adjust their budget forecasts.
Close to the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks, Motueka is known for apples, pear and kiwifruit orchards, alongside specialised crops such as hops. Indeed, that specialisation, saw the area being the New Zealand centre of the tobacco growing, until the early 1980s.
Can-Am has introduced its 2027 range of side-by-side vehicles (SSV) and all-terrain vehicles (ATV), including the industry leading Defender, the Maverick R and the hugely capable Outlander ATV, incorporating a host of advancements designed to deliver an exceptional riding experience.
With battery tools becoming more widespread and more importantly, productive and reliable, it was only time before we saw augers or post-hole borers.
