PTx Trimble Launches NAV-960 GNSS Receiver for Precision Farming

Sao Paulo, Brazil – PTx Trimble., a precision agriculture solutions provider and a joint venture between AGCO and Trimble, has introduced its next-generation GNSS guidance controller, the NAV-960, marking a significant leap forward in precision agriculture technology. Unveiled at Agrishow 2025, one of the largest agricultural technology trade shows held from April 28 to May 2, 2025 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The NAV-960 builds on the strong foundation of its predecessor, the NAV-900, delivering greater positioning accuracy, enhanced processing power, and improved operational uptime for farmers. The NAV-960 is designed for modern precision farming, offering up to 50% improved positioning accuracy over the NAV-900. With an upgraded GNSS engine, enhanced sensors, and a rugged design, it reduces overlap, minimizes downtime, and boosts input efficiency.

Mr. Andrew Sunderman, Vice President of Product and Customer Experience, said, “At Trimble, we are committed to developing solutions that help farmers work smarter and more efficiently. The NAV-960 guidance controller is a reflection of that commitment. It gives farmers access to cutting-edge GNSS capabilities that reduce fatigue, minimize wear and tear on equipment, and boost overall productivity.”

The NAV-960 features a durable cast aluminum base, built to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme heat, cold, and vibrations. Its Trimble ProPoint technology, paired with IonoGuard, ensures reliable performance even during solar events or GNSS disruptions, maintaining centimeter-level accuracy with Trimble’s CenterPoint RTX or RTK correction services.

The NAV-960 comes packed with a range of advanced features designed to meet the demands of modern precision farming. It boasts an industrial-grade, highly durable design built to withstand tough field conditions. At its core is an advanced GNSS engine capable of tracking more satellites, delivering significantly improved vehicle positioning and line-following accuracy.

A powerful quad-core processor ensures faster calculations and real-time data delivery, enhancing overall system performance. Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streamline service support and enable future connectivity upgrades. Fully compatible with existing PTx Trimble steering systems and GFX series displays, including the GFX-350, GFX-1060, and GFX-1260, the NAV-960 also supports a retrofit-ready design, making it ideal for use across mixed fleets and both aftermarket and OEM installations.

The NAV-960 delivers powerful computing and precise positioning for complex tasks like planting, spraying, and tillage, maximizing uptime and reducing operator fatigue. Designed for easy upgrades, it’s fully compatible with NAV-900 cables and components. Now available globally, the NAV-960 equips farmers with advanced guidance technology for farming challenges.
