GCS900 grade control system version 12.2 includes GradeMax technology to increase dozer grading performance, according to Trimble. Connected Machine is now standard on GCS900, which enables real-time communication between machine and office through the integration of grade control data communications, remote GNSS corrections, and telematics. With GradeMax, which requires no additional sensors, real-time control of the machine’s automatic blade control settings allows operators to adjust the machine’s response to differing material conditions and optimize the machine’s performance for a particular grading task.
