Topcon Agriculture introduces Value Line Steering solution, bringing affordable precision technology to small and medium-sized farms

Topcon Agriculture has announced the release of its new Value Line Steering solution designed specifically for farmers using mid-range tractors on small to medium-sized farms. The new offering represents a significant step in making autosteering technology, typically used on larger machinery, accessible to a broader range of farmers.

“At Topcon Agriculture, we are committed to the democratization of technology — putting precision agriculture technology in the hands of more farmers throughout the world,” said Antonio Marzia, executive vice president and general manager of Topcon Agriculture.

“With the Value Line, we are opening up opportunities for farmers who have older or smaller machinery, or smaller specialty farms, to boost the value of their machinery, with autosteering technology that is based on our proven premium steering technology used for decades on larger machines. It is an integrated system designed to seamlessly work with a variety of tractors, including compliance with ISOBUS-UT functionality to offer universal compatibility and ease of use. Our goal is to provide high-quality, reliable, affordable, value-added technology that works across a wide range of applications, machinery and brands, keeping with our philosophy of being a partner to farmers and supporting their independent brand choices.”

The Value Line Steering solution is a comprehensive package that includes a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, electric steering wheel controller, touchscreen console, and Horizon Lite software, compatible with front-wheel-steer tractors. Farmers also have the option to add local, satellite or RTK correction services such as Topcon’s Topnet Live for enhanced precision based on their unique needs.
