iCon Wireless Control System
Highly productive meets highly intuitive
The iCon Wireless Control System lives on an iPad, making it intuitive and easy to use – just like the machine it controls. It features a simple interface, home screen automation, and operating enhancements like the Acres to Empty and in-field calibration features. Acres to Empty tells you instantly how many acres remain until your next product fill. The in-field calibration function confirms static calibration values while seeding, using load cell data. This information is transmitted wirelessly to the iCon Control System to ensure you are applying products at the correct rates throughout the field.
Innovative iCon wireless control system
With a wide range of innovative features such as Acres to Empty, In-field Calibration, and Fit to Field, the iCon Wireless Control system provides you with more detailed real-time information, increased automation, more customisable data, and optimised prescription mapping.

Prescription Map Zero Rate Zones
The newest version of the app features the ability for customers to utilise zero rate zones as part of the prescription maps. This feature ensures that customers are able to get the most out of their product and avoid needlessly applying fertiliser to low-producing areas of the field.
Freedom to move
Wireless control provides significant benefits for seed drill systems. Carry your iCon-controlled tablet with you to gain full seeder control and eliminate the need to go back and forth between the tractor cab and machine. The portability simplifies calibration, helps troubleshoot blockages, fills the tanks to the appropriate level, and even uses the meters to empty the air cart. Plus, you get less in-cab wiring and fewer connection points.
Fit-to-Field rate adjustment
The Fit-to-Field function makes product changes much easier. This iCon feature automatically adjusts seed and fertiliser rates to empty the Precision Delivery Air Cart over the remaining acres in your field. Note that 200 lbs of product will remain in the bin at empty, and this amount of product is adjustable for customers with the newest version of the app. It’s easy and efficient, eliminating the guesswork when emptying the cart.
In-field calibration
The iCon in-field calibration function confirms static calibration values during seeding, by using load cell data. This information is transmitted wirelessly to the iCon Control System to ensure you are applying products at the correct rates throughout the field.
SCTx – Next level precision
Next-Gen Sectional Control Technology, SCTx, allows for more complex manoeuvring in the field and unprecedented capabilities to predict seeded/unseeded areas.
The user interface features a virtual toolbar displaying real-time information based on coverage and operator input lookahead times, showing exactly where and when the drill should turn on or off. Turn compensation allows for precise rates across the width of the machine, ensuring a more even plant count in wide arching and tight turn areas of the field.
*SCTx is designed to complement units comprised of a Seed Hawk Air Seeder and a Precision Delivery Air Cart pairing. Additional components or pivot points between the tractor and the seeding unit are not supported and can alter the effectiveness of SCtx.
