The AgGPS® 170 Field Computer running AgGPS® FieldManager software is a top-of-the-line field information management solution that adds the power of record-keeping, field mapping, variable rate management, and soil sampling to Trimble AgGPS receivers and enhances the precision guidance of the AgGPS® Parallel Swathing Option or the AgGPS® EZ-Guide™ system. The AgGPS 170 Field Computer facilitates any agricultural operation by the custom applicator, agribusiness operator, or farmer including spreading, spraying, planting and even precision cultivation and seed bed preparation.

The rugged design of the AgGPS 170 Field Computer ensures reliable operation even under extreme environmental conditions. Soil sampling, variable rate application, and planting are also possible with the AgGPS 170 Field Computer. During applications and planting, farmers can easily map features such as weed spots, plant variety areas, or hazards. The system also provides sophisticated automated record-keeping--- ideal to automate customer billing, communications with environmental authorities, and GIS data analysis. Combine the system with the AgGPS 214 high accuracy Real-time Kinematic (RTK) receiver to record centimeter-level elevations for field topographic mapping.
