Topcon Agriculture has added a 44-function, fully ISObus-enabled joystick controller to its expanding line-up of precision farming kit.
Available in the UK via LH Agro, the JS-20 joystick enables users to intuitively program and control a wide variety of ISObus implement functions including the full array of Horizon UI functions (Topcon’s in-house user interface software).
“The new JS-20 has been designed to improve operator comfort and efficiency, and is compatible with Topcon’s own X-series of consoles as well as all third-party control panels and implements with ISObus auxiliary (AUX-N) functionality,” the managing director of Topcon distributor LH Agro, Richard Reed, said.
The joystick is equipped with 11 IP64 rated task assignment buttons (totally protected from dust and water spray ingress) that can be controlled in up to four working modes each, identified by a coloured LED on the upper edge of the button panel.
“Switching between the four working modes is a simple one-button operation that gives operators quick access to a total of up to 44 programmable implement functions,” Mr Reed added. “The additional trigger-style button also enables users to quickly eliminate mis-commands thereby ensuring the implement in question remains on task at all times.”
