Ag Leader has announced its next generation of InCommand cab displays with the InCommand Go 16 and Go 10.
The new InCommand displays are high-resolution touchscreens with faster processing that provide real-time information to farmers from the comfort of their cabs.
The InCommand Go 16 and Go 10 are Ag Leader’s first new displays in nearly 10 years, upgrading the functions, interface, and technology from their InCommand 1200 and 800 displays.
“Farmers appreciate that they can invest in a technology platform that is going to last and give them value for years, so we have the same vision in mind with the InCommand Go 16 and 10,” said Logan Handsaker, product management representative at Ag Leader. “The hardware and software is geared toward being able to last, and expand and improve on over time for years.”
Handsaker said as machines have gotten more advanced since the 1200 and 800 displays launched, Ag Leader needed a new monitor so farmers can easily navigate the new features. These monitors are ideal for farmers with a mixed fleet, regardless of operation size.
New features
The InCommand Go 16 has a larger, 16-inch viewing area, allowing operators to display more functions on the screen simultaneously. This includes easily switching through visibility layers on field maps, to display real-time mapping at the same time as the previously applied map.
The InCommand Go 10 is a slightly smaller at 10 inches, and more cost-effective display, which can be standalone or work as a companion to the Go 16. Entry-level guidance packages are available exclusively on the Go 10 featuring Ag Leader’s GPS 7500 or GPS 7000 for farmers who just want guidance and steering functions.
The Go 16 comes standard with a ruggedized built-in cellular modem, which enables features like AgFiniti, Ag Leader’s cloud-based platform, including DisplayCast, CartACE, and Remote Support. Through AgFiniti, farmers can share information from display to display, carrying information like guidance lines and coverage maps across their entire fleet.
“When the display turns on, you’re instantly connected to the internet,” Handsaker said. “By the time you get to the home screen, you have an internet connection and you’re connected to AgFiniti, which means you are ready to start harvesting or planting — whatever. And all your data goes into the cloud and is accessible to others [on your operation].”
Connectivity also allows remote access to the displays. Trusted users and dealers can remotely view and take control of the display to troubleshoot any problems without leaving the field.
Despite Ag Leader’s focus on streamlining the user experience, it should be a simple learning curve for farmers already familiar with the InCommand 1200 and 800 displays.
“The processes of building fields, building configurations, getting an operation started in the field are almost identical to how they were with the InCommand 1200,” Handsaker says. “We knew that was important because we knew while this is radically different, we also need to make sure our customers that have been with us for years can, can jump into this thing without any problems.”
Handsaker said customers in the testing phase were able to learn the new Go 16 and Go 10 functions quickly, and get them to work together with the older InCommand 1200 displays.
Price and availability
The next generation of InCommand displays are available to order from dealers now, and will start shipping November 12. The InCommand Go 16 is available starting around $6,600, and InCommand Go 10 is available for around $4,100. For more information, visit agleader.com/incommand.
