ISOBUS eliminates isolated solutions by establishing a standardised, compatible connection between tractor and implement, which should work with all combinations using "plug and play": Simply plug the ISOBUS plug into the ISOBUS socket and you are ready to go. A single ISOBUS terminal replaces the large number of implement-specific terminals inside the tractor cab.
ISOBUS technology standardises not only the communication between tractors and implements, but also the data transfer between agricultural machinery and farm office software. ISOBUS is therefore the foundation for networked agricultural operations. Precision farming and intelligent data management would not be possible without ISOBUS.
