Guiding Principals

GPS Guidance is essential. Driving by sight and dead reckoning isn’t enough. Too much cost is at stake as implements are wider and speeds are faster. Disk marks and foam can disappear in residue.

Solution: GPS Guidance, with our without other forms of marking, is essential on every tractor for every pass through the field.

Guidance & Mapping must be easy to install. You will likely want to move Outback® capabilities from one machine to another all year long. All Outback® products install easily without wrenches, bolts or drilling.

Solution: Anyone can master the operation of an Outback® product in less than 15 minutes.

Put the operator at ease. Outback® Guidance Systems must minimize driver fixation on the lights. A glance at the Steering Guide™ followed by a quick steering correction should leave the operator free to watch something else for a while. Outback® Mapping must provide an oferall picture of the work as it is done, leaving no doubt that the passes are made properly and the job is complete.

Solution: The Outback® Guidance and Mapping System puts the operator at ease with immediate driving feedback and job review.

Solution: The multiple applications for Outback® products generate money savings year round.

Guidance & Mapping will open the door to the future. Guidance is the first essential step to precision farming.
