ISOBUS — what is it and why does it matter?

ISOBUS is a universal language of communication between tractor and implement. One terminal, many machines. The key to precision farming.

ISOBUS (ISO 11783) is an international standard for communication between a tractor and a mounted or trailed machine. Thanks to ISOBUS you can control a spreader, seed drill, sprayer and baler from one terminal in the tractor cab.

Without ISOBUS: each machine has its own terminal, the cab is full of screens, and there is no GPS integration.

With ISOBUS: one terminal runs all machines, the attached implement is recognised automatically, it integrates with GPS Section Control and VRA, and work documentation is recorded automatically.

Many machines in the RUTHENIA ALBA range, including Güstrower GDK spreaders, work to the ISOBUS standard. Compatibility of a specific model is confirmed when selecting the configuration. We can supply the terminal separately or integrate it with the tractor’s existing equipment.
