Originally created to reduce plant damage in sugar cane applications, Optimal Lines

provides many additional benets in farming situations where exibility in GPS lines

is needed to accommodate varied eld conditions and equipment setups over an

extended time period.

Controlled Trafc Farming (CTF) reduces soil compaction damage caused by heavy or

repeated passes over the land. The negative consequences are well documented and

include increased fuel usage, poor seedbeds, reduced yields and poor soil function in

terms of water inltration, drainage and greenhouse gas mitigation.

A CTF system connes machinery to the least possible areas of

permanent trafc lanes. Without this control, machines can run

randomly over the land, compacting as much as 75% of the area

within one season and the entire area by the second season. Soils

can take years to recover. A proper CTF system can reduce tracking

to just 15% and it always occurs in the same place.

Controlled Trafc Farming

Topcon X30 Optimal Lines produces controlled trafc farming with unmatched versatility

CONTROLLED TRAFFIC

• Create Optimal Lines “on the y”

with touchscreen icons

• Automatic detection of nearest lines

• Manually select a line to steer from by

simply touching the screen to “jump”

to the next or previous line

• Works like having multiple identical curves

in one eld without having to load new lines

• Lines can be easily loaded from shape les

Coupled with Topcon RTK,

Optimal Lines offers repeatable

performance over years.
