Müller-Elektronik and Trimble Agriculture have recently entered a collaboration, with the aim of providing farmers who use precision technology higher accuracy, reduced fuel consumption and less overlap. This will be possible by integrating its guidance systems, which are now compatible to do so.

The Müller-Elektronik Track-Guide III, Touch 800 and Touch 200 displays are now compatible with the Trimble NAV-900 track guide controller. This means that users now have access to the Trimble NAV-900 GNSS receiver and the associated Trimble steering systems with these Müller electronics displays.

The NAV-900 is Trimble's most advanced GNSS receiver and can be mounted on the roof of most tractors to enable positioning, lane guidance and automatic steering.

“Farmers can also use the Trimble correction signals, which provide even higher accuracy, to control the steering systems.

“In practice, the combination of Trimble and Müller solutions allows for more efficient work with higher accuracy, less overlap and less fuel consumption.

“Due to the compatibility with the NAV-900 lane guidance controller, all Trimble correction services from the basic Range-Point RTX up to the high-precision RTK are also available for the three Müller-Elektronik displays,” explains Lee Clarke of Trimble Agriculture.

Müller was a key contributor to developing the ISOBUS communication protocol, and its displays comply with ISOBUS standard 11783.

This means they can be used on any brand of tractor or harvester that also meet this standard.

Trimble steering systems use slope equalisation technologies to calculate the position of the vehicle. The new collaboration means these steering systems can now also be controlled by the Müller-Elektronik displays. Trimble and Müller-Elektronik precision technology is now available through all Trimble dealers in the Ireland.
