New products explained - INTEGRA

With all the new products released from Ag Leader at the beginning of the month it has been quite a whirlwind of excitement and many questions have surfaced. I have decided to take one product at a time and try to explain what they can do. This also allows you to get questions asked and answered as well.

The Integra is the newest display on the market, and packed full of features. It has a 12.1" HD touchscreen making it easy to read and allowing a great deal of real estate on screen to show you exactly what is going on. You can perform several tasks at the same time, and can see planter monitoring and planter shutoffs from the same screen without having to change tabs.
It also features four video camera inputs, allowing you to see more accurately what is going on around you.



With full screen guidance built into this big screen, you can see very clearly where you need to be if you are just using the manual guidance feature, or you can hook into a ParaDyme Steering system for an additional set of features. (I will discuss more about the ParaDyme in a future post)



Don't forget it also offers a whole slew of features that we have become used to from its predecessor, the Insight. Data logging, field boundaries, Hybrid logging with split planter, Multiple product control, Rawson Accurate Direct Drive, planter population monitoring, smart reports, and boom height control is just the short list.

The Integra also uses a USB drive for data transfer, which speeds up the process considerably.

The one thing missing from the Insight is the ability to hook into a Trimble Autopilot. Since Ag Leader has aligned itself with AutoFarm, they have worked together to come up with the ParaDyme steering solution, so there is still potential to work with an autosteer system, and even upgrade if you have one already.

Feel free to post questions here or call me if you would like more information about the Integra.

Agriculture Evolved

Ag Leader has made a whole bunch of new product annoucements today!

Intregra - This is the new display packed full of new features - bigger HD screen, camera input, on screen guidance, and autosteering

ParaDyme - This is the roof array that allows for autosteering, built in cell modem for CORS network support, and this also allows for remote support, as it allows the user of the system to request support and us to remotely troubleshoot the problem.

Edge 2.0 - The Edge display will have a new update and a whole bunch of new features, including on screen guidance, steering, auto boom height control with the Norac UC5

OnTrac 2 - This is Ag Leader's new assisted steering solution, which will run through the Edge display. The positive drive motor eliminates slippage against the steering wheel, and doesn't require removing the steering wheel to install.
I am also proud to announce that HTS is a Blue Delta Dealer for Ag Leader Technology, meaning that we are the highest level of service available. This doesn't completely cover everything new, but simply scratches the surface. Feel free to post or contact me with any questions.

Big annoucement tomorrow?

I was just on Ag Leader's website this morning and it just pulls up a single page saying,

"The Evolution is underway...

Visit AGLEADER.COM tomorrow to be the first to see."

I don't know what this means, and I'm not going to speculate. I am sure there is going to be a big announcement tomorrow though. I would encourage everyone to check out their website as soon as you can, tomorrow, and I will also be posting everything I can find out as soon as I know what this is all about. Sounds pretty exciting!!!
