AutoFarm® Announces Extensive List of New Vehicle Kits for FarmPRO™ GPS Steering & Application Control System

FREMONT, CA - December 10, 2008 - Capping off a highly successful introductory year for its FarmPRO™ GPS System, AutoFarm releases an extensive list of new tractors now supported by both hydraulic steering and steer-by-wire kits for FarmPRO.

Tractors that can now interface with the FarmPRO GPS System include:

• John Deere AutoTrac Ready Front Wheel Steered Tractors
• John Deere Tracked Tractors
• John Deere AutoTrac Ready Articulated Tractors
• Challenger MT Tracked Tractors
• CNH AccuGuide/IntelliSteer Ready Front Wheel Steered Tractors

Installation Kits for the FarmPRO GPS Steering & Application Control System are now qualified on over 220 makes and models of tractors, sprayers, spreaders and combines.

Designed for professional growers and custom applicators, the FarmPRO system combines industry-leading sub-inch accurate RTK AutoSteer™ from AutoFarm with the Viper PRO state-of-the-art display and control system from Raven Industries. FarmPRO offers a feature-rich steering and application control system that is all right at the operator's finger tip through a single large screen display.

Other releases for FarmPRO in 2008 included: AutoFarm Reflex Technology; convenient remote engage feature; Satel Radio capability; and ability to run on OmniSTAR HP/XP with short convergence times.

“These new vehicle kits provide additional platforms to an already highly capable FarmPRO System,” says Wade Stewart, AutoFarm Field Marketing Manager, “including enabling the system to run with the new steer-by-wire tractors as well as hydraulic steered vehicles...another big step in making FarmPRO the leading edge in RTK steering integrated with variable rate application and boom controls.”
