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.
