THE major advantage of Isobus technology in the agricultural industry is that it allows for full compatibility between tractors and implements, regardless of brands and models. The Isobus-compatible application combines modular field-IQ architecture with the new Trimble liquid control ECU. The field IQ Isobus controller is ideal for a range of equipment from sprayers to fertilisers and lime spreaders, manure spreaders, liquid toolbars, strip-till toolbars, effluent toolbars and planters.

The unique advantage of the Trimble Field-IQ Isobus Liquid control system is that it can connect any ISO terminal to the implement after ECU configuration. Not only can existing Trimble Field-IQ install kits be used, but implement set-up is a cinch with standard configuration and calibration screens.
