PTx Trimble FarmENGAGE: Three FarmENGAGE tiers on PTx's US feature-comparison page: Starter (manage vehicles/implements/PTx Trimble devices, connect AGCO machines), Data (farm/field setup, up to 5 logins, USB import, equipment location, task reports/coverage maps, prescriptions to Precision-IQ displays), Operations (cloud sync with Precision-IQ, work orders, operator access controls, weather, crop rotation planning, material usage tracking, profitability and scouting reports, harvest tracking with yield and price, management zones, prescription creation). Inputs 'partial' = material usage tracking/prescriptions, not purchasing. Mixed fleet: 'regardless of make or model year'; compatibility agreements named with John Deere Operations Center, Case IH FieldOps, New Holland, Raven Slingshot; connects to Fendt/MF/Valtra displays and PTx Trimble GFX displays. Precision-IQ is the in-cab display application. FarmENGAGE iOS app (free download) formerly 'Trimble Ag Mobile'.
Taranis: Taranis flies drone 'missions' (service plans of 4-6 missions/season) producing leaf-level detections of stand count, weeds, insects, disease and nutrient deficiency; broadacre satellite monitoring with weather/precipitation layers. Ag Assistant is a generative-AI tool producing zone-level agronomy recommendations and season summaries. Yield Impact (May 2026) estimates bu/ac yield loss per detected threat on enrolled corn acres. Input relevance is via recommendations sold alongside retailers' crop-protection portfolios (Syngenta partnership), not an input marketplace. iOS/Android app plus web dashboard.

| Status | Rebranded: Trimble Ag Software / Farmer Core / Farmer Fit / Farmer Pro became 'PTx Trimble Ag Software' and then 'FarmENGAGE' (App Store: 'Formerly known as PTx Trimble Ag Software'; AGCO: launched 2025, debuted at Farm Progress Show Aug 2025). ptxtrimble.com now redirects to ptxag.com, where PTx Trimble and Precision Planting are presented as two brands of PTx (AGCO). Active. MERGED ROW: AGCO's farmer-facing data platform is this same product — standard on MY2026 Fendt and Massey Ferguson in North America (Fendt US: 3-year 'FarmENGAGE – Operations' subscription with Gold Star package; brand telematics carry 5-year included licences). Fuse no longer appears on AGCO's precision-ag strategy page. AGCO-specific sources appended. | Active. Go-to-market is retailer/advisor-first: vendor says it sells 'through agricultural retailers and advisors' with 100+ retail/advisor partners, and grower page directs farmers to 'FIND YOUR ADVISOR'; no direct-to-farmer purchase path or price is published, so a US farmer typically accesses Taranis via a participating retailer. |
