New Joystick on the Terra-Gator – Ag-Chem launches a new Joystick on all Terra-Gator models on the market!
 
Ag-Chem Europe’s engineering department in Grubbenvorst has developed a new Joystick for all the NMS Terra-Gator series.
The new Joystick replaces the existing handles that are mounted on the Terra-Gator series.

The Joystick allows the operator to perform a number of functions sequentially with the simple push of a button. The Joystick works with the electronic network of the machine to record a series of events, like transmission shifting, three-point hitch position, loading arm, implement hydraulics (raise/lower) and start / stop loading. Each button has its own colour. The ergonomic design makes work for the operator very easy.

Forward speeds or reverse, are all selected with the touch of a button, instead of the left and right movement of the existing levers. Shuttle Shifting quickly changes direction of the Terra-Gator without the need to use the inching pedal.

The new Joystick is prepared for the CAN-Bus network, basic controllers and the Falcon VT terminal.
