Topcon releases Tillage Depth Control

Topcon Agriculture recently introduced the NORAC Tillage Depth Control (TDC) system, a system that uses ultrasonic sensors to automatically compensate for differing soil types and terrains, while maintaining the correct implement depth.

The NORAC TDC system is designed to turn tillage into a high-tech operation, a “set it and forget it” way to automatically hit the correct cutting depth in all conditions and terrains.

“The NORAC TDC system is not confined to any one brand, age or model of tillage equipment, nor is it reliant on a Topcon display for operation. Rather, it can be installed on any trailed tillage tool with hydraulic lift and utilize a factory display that supports ISOBUS Virtual Terminal functionality,” said Sorbe. “The system is bringing precision tillage farming for use even on tractors not equipped with the latest technical capabilities.”

With its increased accuracy, the TDC system is designed to ensure tillage is done correctly with easy operation and less difficulty. The automatic system reduces soil compaction and slippage in wet conditions, as well as increasing fuel and time efficiencies in the field.
