ISOBUS

Also known as: ISO 11783

Full explanation

AEF (Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation) certifies ISOBUS compatibility. The AEF DataBase (aef-isobus-database.org) lets you check which UT/TC-BAS/TC-GEO/TC-SC/AUX-N functions are supported by a tractor-implement pair. Main functions: (1) UT (Universal Terminal) — any terminal runs any implement; (2) TC-BAS (Task Controller Basic) — basic job data collection; (3) TC-GEO — prescription map (shape/isoxml) reception and variable-rate execution; (4) TC-SC — automatic section shutoff on headlands and overlaps; (5) AUX-N — joystick control. In Ukraine ISOBUS ships on all new Western tractors from 180 HP. Useful for running Amazone/Horsch/Väderstad/Lemken drills with auto-section shutoff — saving 4–8% inputs.
