PTx Trimble opens up new possibilities for precision farming

AGCO and Trimble form new joint venture

Last April, AGCO acquired Trimble’s precision farming business, with Trimble remaining a minority owner in the new company. PTx Trimble offers versatile precision farming solutions for both factory installations and retrofitting, also for non-AGCO machines. Precision farming equipment helps farmers improve their productivity and meet the targets of environmental requirements. The new company’s product and service selection is very broad, ranging from precision farming equipment for tractors to water management systems for fields.
