New products – Massey Ferguson Datatronic 5 touch display

A suite of automatic control and data collection functions are available with the latest iteration of Datatronic on Massey Ferguson tractors from AGCO.

They are operated through the new Datatronic 5 touch-screen display, which has a 9in screen in landscape format and can be set to ‘half screen’ mode to show two functions at the same time.

Main information is shown prominently in the centre, with activated features and functions stacked either side;

4 display sections can be swiped in and out to quickly access all relevant information:

  1. Map
  2. Tractor home
  3. Camera
  4. Isobus
The new Datatronic 5 integrated data processor and 9in display available for Massey Ferguson tractors can be used to set up and monitor and number of systems, including electric spool valves, auto 4-wheel drive disengage and diff lock operation.

  1. OK to confirm actions
  2. Return
  3. Home
  4. Main Screen Mode, which provides full-screen displays of tractor setting functions, guidance and camera.

Optional features

Optional precision farming features are available individually or as a package that adds mapping, automatic section control, variable rate application, record keeping and machine monitoring.

Regulating working width of seed drills, spreaders and spayers

AgControl is a section control function with up to 24 steps available to regulate the working width of seed drills, spreaders and sprayers, while VariableRateControl translates prescription maps into action.
