Tractor—Implement Automation Prerequisites Using B-Wrap Wrapping Mode

Tractor-Implement Automation (TIA) relies on ISOBUS information exchange between a John Deere tractor and a John Deere baler.

The baler must have the push bar disconnected.

TIA requires an ISOBUS ready tractor with at least electronic selective control valves to operate the baler in automation model level 1 (baler gate automation).

To operate the baler in automation mode, two activation codes must be ordered and installed (one for the tractor and one for the baler). For more information, see your John Deere dealer.

Theory of operation:

• Baler commands tractor to stop PTO
• Baler commands tractor to activate electronic selective control valve to open the gate and unload the bale
• Baler commands tractor to start PTO after forward movement is detected
• Baler commands tractor to activate electronic selective control valve to close the gate after forward movement past bale is calculated
