Tractor—Implement Automation Prerequisites Using Net or Twine Wrapping Modes

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

The baler must have a push bar.

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). ISOBUS ready tractor equipped with electronic selective control valves and IVT allows the baler to be operated in automation model level 2 (baler gate automation and tractor automatic stop).

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 slow until tractor stops forward travel when desired bale diameter is reached.
• Baler commands tractor to activate electronic selective control valve to open and close the gate to unload the bale.
• Baler commands tractor to resume baling speed after operator acknowledgment.
