- A brace of new in-cab screen options along with a mobile app allowing the operator to monitor the weight of the spreader contents from the loader have been launched.
The Norfolk-based manufacturer will add the Topcon XD and XD+ Isobus screens, in both 7in and 12.1in displays, as options on all its weigh-cell equipped spreaders.
This allows users running non-Isobus compatible tractors to achieve increased functionality with the screens, including basic guidance and task management.
Alongside this, operators running an Isobus weigh cell system have the option for the loader driver to view the real-time weight of the spreader contents via the Topcon ‘Cab Control’ app, on a smartphone or tablet.
The upshot here is there is no need to stop loading to check the weight of the material in the spreader, as the read-out is mirrored from the tractor cab. Using the device should virtually eliminate any overloading and it can also be used for weighing varying product quantities.
