Making Implement Guidance Function

Implement Guidance will work with pull type implements only.

    The following criteria are required:

  • In iGuide mode, both receivers must have the same receiver level (RTK)
  • iGuide software installed on the GreenStar display
  • iGuide activation for the GreenStar display
  • AutoTrac SF2™ activation on display
  • AutoTrac and iGuide setup complete (incomplete setup would prevent operator from activating guidance)
  • Updated StarFire iTC™ software on the implement

    Implement Guidance is designed to give implement control for the first implement.

    iGuide does not support:

  • AutoTrac SF1™ Signal Level
  • AutoTrac SF2™ Signal Level
  • Tow Between Air Carts
  • Integral Implements (3-pt)
  • Balers
  • Mowers and Mower-Conditioners that can swing left and right behind the machine (unless using a fixed offset)
  • Wide-swinging drawbar on 9X00T tractors
  • AutoTrac Universal Steering Kit™ (Original or 200)
  • Bedded Crops
  • Standing row crop applications
  • Bedded crop applications (see iSteer if this is needed)
  • Circle Track
  • Original GSD4 Displays
  • GreenStar 2 1800 Display
  • Original StarFire Receivers
  • NH3 Cart behind Air Cart

NOTE: Make sure AutoTrac is properly setup and adjustments are completed prior to using iGuide.

NOTE: iGuide performance is contingent upon the ability of the machine to compensate for the implement. If the machine is not weighted properly or slippage is excessive, iGuide performance may be degraded.

NOTE: It is recommended to always save a backup copy of AB lines from the data card to your computer. This best practice will ensure data will be safe in case of Data Card or Compact Flash Card problems.

NOTE: Always verify implement dimensions are correct when using the “out of box” dimensions from the GreenStar display or Apex.

NOTE: iGuide does not support the use of the 7.6 cm (3 in.) extension with the 22.9 cm (9 in.) antennas on the implement AutoTrac RTK™ radio. iGuide will support only the 30.5 cm (12 in.) RTK antenna or the high gain antennas to be used on the RTK radio at the implement.

NOTE: iGuide will not support reverse mode, this functionality is exclusive to AutoTrac.

NOTE: iGuide performance is degraded when the machine is in a "crabbing" condition with the front wheels parallel or near parallel to the guidance path and the rear wheels at an angle to the line.

NOTE: Do not mount the implement receiver higher than 4.0 m (13.1 ft.) for transportation purposes.
