Trimble Agriculture is a popular supplier of farming GPS systems. However, don’t you wish there was something a little cheaper which can do the trick? I am here to offer a more affordable Trimble agriculture alternative. Continue reading below, or just contact me to discuss your farming GPS needs!
Trimble functionality, as stated on their website
- Complete crop management and control. The agricultural solutions from Trimble address all seasons, crops, terrains and vehicles including tractors, applicators, and harvesters.
- Efficiency. Farmers worldwide need to produce more with less, to maximize efficiency, and to operate more profitably, while protecting the environment and precious natural resources. That is why Trimble products are painstakingly designed to offer superior value through improved operational efficiency and input cost reduction.
- Easy to use. Trimble solutions are built for you to get your work done efficiently. And while Horizon software is teeming with productivity enhancements, ease of use is the most critical feature. So you can concentrate on the crop, while Trimble takes care of the technology.
Trimble’s pricing is not affordable for many smaller farms
For example, a GFX-750 with a non RTK antenna is close to $6K! One of the middle packages I supply for around $1500 is a decent comparable.
You can get a RTK kit with an upgraded 30 mi range, and sub inch accuracy and a 10 inch touch screen for around $3K. This can be expanded to auto steer for under $1K and some time to assemble the auto steer kit.
