Testimonials
As part of improving the accuracy of trial results we have been looking at GPS technology for over ten years. After investigating the systems on offer we decided on the Trimble system supplied by AS Communications.
William Mumford is not only a farmer but a real enthusiast on GPS technology as you will find out if you talk to him or any member of his team.
All of our challenges for the company have been met and we are very pleased with the outstanding results. The system does exactly what it says it will do.
— Mark Leaman, Farm & Estate Manager for NIAB TAG
The FMX display is a joy to use, and the back up and support I have received from AS Communications has been outstanding.

Trimble’s EZ-Guide 500 and EZ-Steer with VRS-Now RTK helps me to make the most out of my machinery investments. My combine header is always full and I can concentrate on keeping output maximised. RTK enables us to use Controlled Traffic Farming techniqes to reduce cultivation costs. With an EZ-Boom on the sprayer, pre-emergence sprays can be applied accurately day or night. But the best thing is stepping off a machine after a long day and still feeling fresh
