Agritechnica novelties
Kverneland expands IsoMatch capabilities
Kverneland Group will be presenting the novelties on 23 and 24 August at the Agritechnica this autumn. In addition to new and improved implements, it is also expanding the IsoMatch line with a new terminal, GPS control and joystick control.
The IsoMatch Tellus Pro is the latest addition to the manufacturer's terminal range. They are developed and produced in Nieuw-Vennep. The Tellus Pro uses the housing of the Tellus 2, which later included the Go terminal, which has a single screen. Both the hardware and software have been improved, for example to allow a more complex section control to do its job. It will be available on Kverneland and Vicon implements from this autumn.
Multi-function joystick
In addition to the double touchscreen, you will soon be able to operate the Tellus Pro screen with an IsoMatch Grip joystick. It accommodates up to 44 different functions. This makes the manufacturer unique in the market. The various operating options for each implement can be set via the Isobus system. There are 4 working modes with 11 functions each available. A smart 'user interface' should ensure that you don't get lost in all the buttons. The joystick can also be used on other ISObus implements.
Aftermarket GPS Control
Finally, Kverneland also comes with a universal tractor control: Auto-E Drive. The E stands for electronic. The tractor is operated via a separate steering wheel. The operation works via the Tellus screen, for which you need a Geodrive license. This software is already integrated in the new Tellus Pro terminal. Like the joystick and terminal, the GPS system will be available at the end of 2017.
