AGCO, Hexagon Agree To
Expand Distribution Of
Hexagon's Ag Guidance
Systems
AGCO announced that it has signed
an agreement with Hexagon to expand
its factory-fit and aftermarket guidance
offering. The new guidance system
will be sold as Fuse Guide on Massey
Ferguson and Valtra tractors.
The new arrangement expands upon
the current agreement between AGCO
and Hexagon to distribute Hexagon
| NovAtel global navigation satellite
system (GNSS) receivers and global
TerraStar Correction Services both
from factory-fit and through AGCO
dealers. Fuse Guide will offer a market-
proven, rugged guidance and electronic
steering system. Like AGCO's premium
guidance systems, Fuse Guide will also
utilize the highly accurate NovAtel
SMART7 receiver.
The solution offers customers an
option between third-party aftermarket
systems and AGCO's premium
integrated guidance systems, MF
Guide and Valtra Guide. Fuse Guide is
intended to be marketed in Brazil in the
second quarter of 2023 with additional
markets to follow in 2024.
"Guidance and auto-steering
technology is the first step in
implementing precision ag for greater
input efficiency and higher crop yields.
We anticipate that this agreement will
help to increase precision agriculture
technology adoption in our growth
markets by providing an easy to use and
price competitive guidance solution for
farmers in more regions," said Mark
Theuerkauf, director, Fuse Go-to-
Market at AGCO.
