ISOBUS

The Industry-Standard Communication Protocol

ISOBUS is a set of communication protocols based on International Standard ISO 11783 conceived specifically for linking agricultural tractors, implements & software. This is the result of an agreement between the main manufacturers of agricultural machinery and equipment to solve compatibility problems, standardising communication among different implements, regardless of the manufacturer. With ISOBUS, any operator can take a Case IH tractor, plug the ISO implement into it and begin working. They don’t need to recall settings or do any additional setup because everything is loaded to the terminal immediately.

ISOBUS Features

Bring greater flexibility to your work.

Presentation

A standardised, compatible link between the tractor and the attachment, whatever the brand, controls all your ISOBUS devices using the touchscreen monitor. Just plug it in – all Case IH tractors are wired up on delivery – the necessary technology is factory-fitted. ISOBUS technology enhances efficiency and savings by enabling real-time data collection for precise fertiliser and chemical application, avoiding overlaps and missed areas when used with satellite systems.

It standardises control settings to reduce downtime, installation issues, and operator fatigue by allowing implements to manage tractor functions. With a simple nine-pin "plug and play" connection and no need for extra monitors, ISOBUS saves time by streamlining the use of multiple implements through a single display. Its universal interface ensures compatibility across mixed-fleet machinery, including third-party equipment, via one fully integrated terminal.

Section Control

Section Control technology enhances efficiency in the field by automatically switching implement sections on and off to prevent overlaps—whether during passes, at headland turns, or in irregularly shaped fields. This not only reduces seed costs by minimising double applications but also helps optimise yield. Additionally, by eliminating the need to manually control sections, it significantly reduces operator fatigue, allowing you to focus on other critical aspects of the job with less stress.

Variable Rate

Variable rate technology allows prescription application of inputs. It helps you more efficiently apply nutrients to a fully integrated platform that gathers data during every phase of production, ensuring fewer trips across the field.

Feedrate Control Technology

Using Feedrate Control, the baler controls the tractor’s forward speed through ISOBUS Class III commands, maintaining desired capacity and bale slice thickness by using a charge sensor. The system then calculates the best speed based on the information received from the sensors.

Our Large-square balers are all ISOBUS III ready from factory, just ask your dealer for the unlock code to run with this automation system.

Bale Command Technology

The RB455 and RB465 round balers can be equipped with ISOBUS Class III. Paired with a Case IH tractor featuring a CVXDrive™ continuously variable, PowerDrive powershift or ActiveDrive 8 dual-clutch transmission, this system is automazing the complete bale process without operator input.
