Profile
PTx Ag is a leading precision agriculture brand formed by AGCO Corporation in 2024. It combines the advanced technologies of PTx Trimble (a joint venture with Trimble) and Precision Planting. Headquartered in the United States, PTx Ag focuses on delivering retrofit and integrated precision farming solutions that work across all equipment brands and colors. The brand aims to simplify farm operations, improve decision-making, increase efficiency, and accelerate the adoption of smart farming technologies for farmers worldwide.
PTx Ag provides a comprehensive suite of hardware, software, and autonomous solutions designed to optimize every stage of the crop cycle — from planting and tillage to spraying, fertilizing, harvesting, and data management. Its technology helps farmers reduce input costs, improve yields, and operate more sustainably.
Key Robot-Based and Autonomous Products:
- OutRun Retrofit Autonomy Kit: One of PTx’s flagship autonomy solutions. This system transforms existing grain carts into semi-autonomous or fully autonomous vehicles during harvest. It allows operators to focus on the combine while the grain cart automatically follows, unloads on the go, and manages logistics — significantly increasing harvest efficiency and reducing operator fatigue.
- Precision-IQ Platform: A unified digital platform that integrates guidance, steering, section control, and variable rate applications. It serves as the central command center for managing autonomous and precision operations across the farm.
- 20|20 System (from Precision Planting): An advanced seed monitoring and control platform that provides real-time agronomic insights during planting, enabling high-precision seed placement and population control.
- Autonomous and Guidance Systems: PTx Trimble offers advanced steering, auto-guidance, and increasingly autonomous capabilities for tractors, sprayers, and other equipment. These systems support hands-free operation, implement guidance, and fleet coordination.
- Additional Precision Tools: Liquid and dry fertilizer applicators, tillage equipment, drainage solutions, and land-forming systems, all enhanced with precision control and data analytics.
PTx Ag stands out for its brand-agnostic approach — its solutions can be retrofitted onto equipment from any manufacturer. The company emphasizes ease of use, strong dealer support, and seamless integration of hardware and software. By combining Trimble’s positioning and guidance expertise with Precision Planting’s planting technology, PTx delivers one of the most complete precision agriculture portfolios in the industry.
