Proper setup of vehicles is crucial to the performance of AutoTrac. This includes making sure the vehicle is ballasted with increased weight on the steering axle to improve steering authority. Along with increased ballast, it is important to remember that AutoTrac performance will vary by platform due to inherent vehicle design differences. For example, track tractors give an operator very good accuracy control, whereas a sprayer or 4WD tractor loses some of that accuracy

control due to differences in drive train and steering response. Another vehicle factor that affects performance is speed. With the ability to operate at higher speeds, customers need to remember that higher speeds will impact performance. Using AutoTrac above 12 mph, especially with Curve Track, will give accuracy on the ground that may be less than desirable for some row-crop applications.
