Melbourne, Victoria, Australia -- Topcon Agriculture, a global leader in precision farming technology, announced the launch of its Value Line Steering solution, a new offering aimed at making precision farming accessible for small and medium-sized farming operations.
The Value Line Steering system brings advanced autosteering capabilities to a wider range of farmers by providing an affordable and easy-to-use solution compatible with a broad variety of tractors, including front-wheel-steer models and those compliant with ISOBUS-UT standards. Designed for minimal learning curve, even users unfamiliar with high-tech farming equipment can quickly adopt the system.
"With diesel, fertiliser, and chemical costs all rising, it's more important than ever to maximise efficiency," said Aaron Freeman, a fourth-generation farmer from Koolunga, South Australia. "The Value Line Steering system saves resources, reduces overlap, and boosts profitability."
Gary Grigson, a South Australia-based farm manager, added, "Your fuel usage is lower because you're not overlapping. It's more efficient all around — including chemical application — because you minimise mistakes at the ends when turning."
The Value Line Steering solution enables older tractors to operate at sub-5 cm accuracy levels previously reserved for new, high-end machinery. Freeman noted, "I didn't think you could get a 35-year-old tractor with 9,500 hours on it to steer with this level of precision — but now it’s possible. It's a game-changer for maximising the value of all farm equipment."
Built on Topcon’s decades-long expertise in precision steering technology, the Value Line Steering system marks a significant step toward more sustainable, efficient, and profitable farming practices.
