TOPCON Tillage Depth Control (TDC)

Soil Preparation Tillage according to plan

Tillage is a foundational practice in agriculture to prepare soil through mechanical agitation. Due to varying conditions, implements can be inconsistent. That’s where precision tillage comes into play, providing an improved seedbed to enable better germination, more precise application of pre-emergence weed control, and easier management of desired surface residue. Tillage depth control ensures consistent and repeatable execution, preparing soil according to plan.

The Norac Tillage Depth Control (TDC) solution utilizes field-proven non-contact ultrasonic sensor technology to deliver the most durable and precise control on the market. Equipped with tailored-algorithms, the sensors identify and differentiate obstructions to maintain desired depth. Unlike any other solution, it’s specifically designed to compensate for varying field conditions – wet, dry or terraced. With TDC, depth is no longer a speculative setting, but rather accurately measured and controlled. Soil conditions, operator preferences and mechanical stops that determine appropriate depth are simple settings through an ISO-UT interface.
