ISOBUS-compatible options

This industry-standard protocol allows farm equipment to communicate, regardless of brand, by providing compatibility between the console and implements.

Many Trimble products are designed with ISOBUS compatibility in mind, helping you maximize your fleet and get the most out of existing planters, sprayers, spreaders and other equipment.

Use ISOBUS to solve common farm challenges

ISO-ready solutions provide additional options for maximum compatibility

Guidance display compatibility

Challenge: I bought a new planter that’s ISOBUS ready, but my guidance display can’t perform application control.

Solution: You will need an ISOBUS-compatible display in order to take full advantage of your new planter’s features. Consider the Trimble GFX-350™, GFX-750™, GFX-1060™, GFX-1260™ or TMX-2050™ display systems.

Autosteer compatibility

Challenge: I bought a brand-new vehicle that’s autosteer ready, but it doesn’t give me application control on my implement.

Solution: If your vehicle lacks application control, you need to ensure your guidance display and liquid control system are compatible. Consider pairing an ISOBUS-compatible guidance display — like Trimble’s GFX-750 or TMX-2050 displays — with the Field-IQ™ ISOBUS Liquid Control System.

Working with a mixed fleet

Challenge: I have two tractors from different brands with two different guidance displays. I need to control one implement with both tractors.

Solution: The Field-IQ ISOBUS Liquid Control System will allow you to control one implement with either tractor, helping you get the most out of your equipment.

Improving planting precision

Challenge: I am looking for ways to maximize the accuracy and efficiency of planting operations while using my existing equipment.

Solution: Trimble’s Android™ display family, when updated to the latest version of Precision-IQ™, supports row crop planters using the Field-IQ crop input control system and provides a range of ISOBUS compatibility options. When the Precision-IQ and Field-IQ systems come together, operators can more effectively manage:

  • Section control
  • Rate control
  • Population monitoring
  • Blockage monitoring, and
  • Advanced wire assignment
Aftermarket equipment changes

Challenge: I bought a brand-new planter and tractor, but I need a liquid system that did not ship with what I bought. I still need to retrofit my planter to get a liquid control channel to work.

Solution: For application control that works on multiple implements, consider the Field-IQ ISOBUS Liquid Control System.

Whether you have ISO-ready equipment or you would like to retrofit your implements, there are two basic components every grower needs to get started with ISOBUS: a Universal Terminal (UT) compatible display and an ISO Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which provides the intelligence for the equipment and the ability to control it from the cab. Additional ISOBUS functionality and features build upon these two basic components.

Below are Trimble solutions that are compatible with ISOBUS. You can also talk to your Trimble Authorized Reseller to help you get started.
