Reduce fuel and inputs with GPS guidance and hands-free farming.
INTERSALES RTK Base Station Network
Intersales Trimble Base Station Network is now operational in Temora and the surrounding areas. We have also set up our first network in the Leeton area.
Contact us to find out whether your property is covered by our RTK Network.
Use the RTK Base Station Network with:
- AgGPS Field Manager
- EZ-Guide® 500
- AgGPS Autopilot
- EZ-Steer
The Trimble® AgGPS® Autopilot™ automated guidance system will automatically steer your vehicle at one inch repeatability from plant to harvest in any field pattern.
Trimble's AgGPS Autopilot guidance system extends your operating hours so you can work when you need to, maximize the precision of your rows, and even decreases fuel and input costs.
Simple to use the Autopilot system connects to your vehicle's power steering system, then using the in-cab display you can select from straight, curve, pivot, and headland field patterns and view the system operating. Once the Autopilot system lines up the vehicle at the beginning of a row, the automated steering guides the vehicle smoothly while the display provides visual feedback on your course it's that simple.
Works on all terrain T3™ terrain compensation technology ensures the AgGPS Autopilot system works on slopes and rough terrain. Inertial measurement technology corrects for roll, pitch, and yaw to insure you are where you want to be, even in the roughest ground conditions.
The Autopilot system is now available with the AgGPS FieldManager™ display offering a large touch-screen with 3D perspective views and easy to use software for GPS guidance, automated steering controls, multiple field patterns, and record-keeping.
Lower input costs
As growers have become more aware of the benefits of using GPS in agriculture, interest has rapidly increased in the most accurate level of GPS machine control the +/- 25mm performance made possible with Real Time Kinematic (RTK) signal correction. A major factor in this increased adoption rate is the advent of extensive RTK base station networks for GPS signal correction. These networks typically lower the cost of purchasing systems such as the Trimble AgGPS® Autopilot™ automated steering system by about 35%. They also eliminate the need for growers to set up and maintain their own RTK base stations a potentially stressful, time consuming activity during critical fieldwork seasons.
As prices for fuel, fertilizer, and other crop inputs keep rising, growers must find ways to cut costs while improving yields. Several proven agronomic practices that require +/- 25mm machine operations can indeed cut costs while increasing yields. These include strip-farming, drip tape irrigation, double-row peanuts, precision ridging (listing), tramlines that reduce soil compaction, and precision planting/spraying/ harvesting of high-value crops.
