Topcon Agriculture has made the announcement of the launch of its fresh Value Line Steering solution, which is designed specifically for farmers who operate mid-range trucks on small to medium-sized fields. The new product represents a major step in bringing autosteering technology, which is usually applied to larger machinery, to the hands of a wider audience of farmers.
According to Antonio Marzia, executive vice president and general manager of Topcon Agriculture,” We are committed to the reform of technology,”” We are committed to putting precision agriculture technology into the arms of more farmers around the world.”
With the help of our confirmed advanced wheel technology, which has been used for centuries on larger devices, we are opening up opportunities for farmers who have older or smaller technology, or smaller niche farms, to increase the value of their equipment. It is a fully integrated program created to work with a variety of machines, as well as complying with ISOBUS-UT functionality to provide general compatibility and ease of use. Our aim is to provide high-quality, reliable, affordable, value-added technology that works across a wide range of programs, equipment and manufacturers, keeping with our idea of being a companion to farmers and supporting their independent product choices”.
The Value Line Steering option is a complete package that includes a Global Navigation Satellite System ( GNSS) device, electric steering wheel controller, handheld console, and Horizon Lite technology, compatible with front-wheel-steer machines. Additionally, according to their individual requirements, farmers have the option to add local, satellite, or RTK correction services like Topcon’s Topnet Live for increased precision.

Autosteering allows for more efficient use of resources, leading to reduced input costs for seeds, fertilizers, and fuel. This improves the bottom line of the farm as well as encourages more sustainable farming practices. Increased field operations accuracy may also improve crop yields, which increases profitability even further.
Farmers from various agricultural sectors, including commodity crops, specialty crops, and mixed farming systems, can expect significant benefits in their operations when adopting the technology.
” Value Line is another step for Topcon in being a preferred partner in this evolving landscape by encouraging adoption and effective collaboration with OEMs (original equipment manufacturers ) and the farmer,” Marzia said.” There is tremendous potential for growth in the agriculture industry.
” We are a global company with decades of precision technology experience with engineering, R&, D, and manufacturing operations on multiple continents, along with a global network of dealers for sales and support.
