Datatronic III/GTA Console/GTA100 Communicator
Now ISOBUS compatible
Operated via the advanced, full-colour GTA Console, Datatronic III - MF’s industry-leading information, control and cost management system - is available as an option on all MF 8400 models. GTA100 Communicator software for operating data management and analysis is supplied as standard.
Datatronic III enables automated operation of complex equipment and also gathers and records information in multiple memories.
The new Datatronic III console is now compatible with ISOBUS - the industry tractor/implement communication standard - bringing an end to cluttered cabs by allowing the tractor’s own GTA screen and console to control and monitor implements designed to the same standard. Full video images are now possible on the console screen
ISOBUS is the standard operating system for the agricultural world allowing implement manufacturers’ software to be displayed and controlled on the GTA screen. This not only saves money because there is no need for an additional terminal but also means operators need to master the working of just one controller.
Datatronic III includes an advanced field and headland management tool with manual or automatic programming of up to 35 functions activated at the touch of a button.
Offers simple control within six application categories from a straightforward main menu
Application areas include ‘Work’ (displays and controls tractor settings and parameters), ‘Settings’ (for setting the GTA Console to the correct brightness, language, time etc),‘Headland’ (for manual or automatic programming of up to 35 headland management operations), ‘EHS valves’ (used to set the operating characteristics of up to five electro-hydraulic spool valves), ‘Memories’ (to store the parameters of up to 6 different implements) and ‘Dual Control’ (for fully programmed command of Trailed Implement Control and front and rear Dual Control).
Featuring simple operation, the GTA Console is MF’s new operator interface for tractor management and future implement control
The GTA Console features a full-colour 140 mm TFT screen where data from Datatronic III is displayed
Valuable operating data can also be transferred to the office computer via an SD (Secure Digital) card where GTA100 Communicator software - supplied as standard with GTA Console – can be used for management of records, analysis of both field and tractor data plus export of data to third party farm management programs
GTA100 Communicator provides a highly user-friendly programme to produce a range of records in the form of jobs – detailing start and stop times, engine hours, operating hours and area covered - to help manage farm operations more efficiently and aid the traceability of farm activities.
Available as an option, GTA200 Record Keeping software takes the technology forward a stage further to enable users to create reports on specific areas of the business such as fleet management, equipment and input usage and field planning
