Installation of up-to-date sensors and controllers to an agricultural implement that is beginning to date is a quite complicated issue. Solving this kind of problem for an anachronistic tractor is simpler as a lot of complete controlling systems can be found on the market. These systems are compatible to each other and they are also ISOBUS conform. Adapting an adequate controlling system results a modern tractor that is able to operate a smart machine. In this article we review some useable controlling systems that our experimental tractor could be equipped with and evaluate that we could utilise the precision functions.
