Machine Sync (If Equipped)

Machine Sync controls synchronized movements between tractor and combine. It guides tractor and grain cart to preset position for unloading relative to specific combine. Machine Sync system contains three important entities: operational zone, calibration zone, and home point. Operational zone is area that allows for automation to take over. Calibration zone is area that allows for calibration of home point. Home point is in line and lateral offset location relative to combine that tractor will return to every time it syncs with specific combine. Machine Sync, when engaged, guides tractor and grain cart to home point position set in relation to each specific combine. Tractor and grain cart will maintain that position during operation. Machine Sync utilizes AutoTrac™ and its advanced settings to control tractor. Machine Sync system maintains in line and lateral offset between the combine and tractor using information via the machine and StarFire™ 3000 receiver that is transmitted between machines using the Machine Communication Radio.

Machine Sync is compatible with:

• GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display
• Machine Communication Radio (MCR)
• StarFire™ 3000 with Shared Signal (update receiver software to latest version)
