display when harvesting corn. Row Sensors mounted to one of the rows detect the cornstalks to know where the row is. The signals provided by these row sensors are integrated with the existing AutoTrac signals to help keep the combine on the rows. When there is no signal coming from the row sensors (e.g. driving through a waterway), normal GPS guidance will apply. Most other characteristics of AutoTrac remain unchanged. The row sensors are simply another position input for steering the combine. All tracking modes are set up the same way as they are with GPS based AutoTrac.

Select ROW GUIDANCE SETTINGS.
