Sunnyvale, California, October 31, 2017.
Today, Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced the Trimble® GFX-750™ display for use in agricultural production. The display works together with the NAV-900 navigation controller, featuring a modern Trimble GNSS receiver compatible with multiple satellite systems and simple enough to install on the roof of a vehicle. Extended satellite coverage provides users with a high degree of signal availability, maximizing operating time – especially when working on difficult terrain.
The 25.6 cm high-resolution display is an ideal system for users working with equipment from different manufacturers, since it’s compatible with tractors and towed equipment from most brands. The display implements support for the universal ISOBUS protocol, in whose development Müller-Elektronik, a Trimble subsidiary, played a key role. The ISOBUS protocol makes it possible to control compatible implements and vehicles regardless of manufacturer, using just a single terminal. Using the protocol standardizes system settings, reduces downtime and installation time, and simplifies the interface and the data-exchange process.
The GFX-750 display is being presented at the international agro-industrial exhibition «Agrocomplex», currently taking place in Kyiv (Ukraine). In addition, the display will be showcased at the Agritechnica exhibition, to be held in Hanover (Germany) on November 12–18, 2017.
This high-performance system with automatic-steering capability continues Trimble’s expansion into the world of Android devices and runs on the modern Precision-IQTM software.
System capabilities
- Flexible communication between devices via integrated Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi wireless modules, as well as the high-speed BroadR-Reach® data-transfer system
- Reliable data exchange between the tractor and agricultural equipment via the Field-IQ ™ system or the ISOBUS protocol
- Support for leading correction signals: Trimble RTX ™, CenterPoint RTK, CenterPoint VRS, SBAS via the NAV-900 controller
- Compatibility with Trimble Autopilot™ hydraulic and electric automatic-steering systems
- Interoperability with Trimble Ag software for managing farm operations across the whole enterprise
«The GFX-750 display is the ideal solution for a farmer who is already ready to implement precision-farming elements – or is interested in upgrading existing systems, – says Abe Hughes, general manager of Trimble’s agriculture division. – The display has a convenient interface, and the navigation controller with its built-in GNSS receiver is easy to mount on the cab roof. This integrated system, together with implement-control solutions from Müller-Elektronik, part of Trimble, embodies our drive to create a unified platform capable of fully meeting the hardware and software needs of farmers in every country. This comprehensive approach makes it easier for farmers to adopt precision-farming technology regardless of the manufacturer, model, or production year of their existing agricultural machinery».
The GFX-750 display comes bundled with a Trimble GNSS receiver that picks up signals on three frequencies from multiple satellite systems. Simultaneously receiving signals from the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou systems ensures reliable operation and reduces convergence time. The availability and benefits of using the satellite systems mentioned above depend on the satellite coverage available in a given region.
Availability
The Trimble GFX-750 display will be available to order in the fourth quarter of 2017.

About Trimble’s agriculture division
Trimble’s agriculture division (Trimble Agriculture) provides solutions for complex technical challenges in agriculture. These solutions allow farmers to allocate scarce resources to build a safe and reliable food supply chain, profitably and without harming the environment. Trimble’s solutions cover every season, crop, terrain type, and farm size, and can be used with most of the equipment already on a farm, regardless of manufacturer or production year.
The acquisition of Müller-Elektronik, a German company specializing in implement control and precision-farming solutions, expands Trimble’s capabilities in high-precision agricultural activity, from vehicles to implements. To optimize the decision-making process, Trimble offers technologies that let farmers not only gather information but also share and manage it across the entire farm, boosting the efficiency of agricultural production.
Trimble’s solutions cover guidance and automated-steering systems, agronomy consulting, on-PC data management and cloud services, flow and application-rate control, water-resource management, as well as harvest solutions and satellite correction signals.
