What is John Deere iGuide?
iGuide is a passive implement guidance solution. This means there is a steering system on the tractor, but not on the implement. The tractor’s steering system pulls the implement on to the correct A-B line so the implement is precisely on the line, but the tractor may or may not be.
What is passive implement guidance?
Passive implement guidance means there are not steering components on the implement as there are with an active implement guidance system; instead, the tractor compensates for implement inaccuracies by pulling the implement onto the correct path.
How does Auto Trac work?
AutoTrac system boosts your productivity by reducing input costs and increasing assisted steering efficiency. Easily master straight, curved and circle tracks and work comfortably in low-visibility conditions. Once you have experienced the benefits of AutoTrac you will never want to go back.
What is implement steering?
Dual Steering Solution The steering system measures the position of both the tractor and the implement through their own individual GPS antennas. Because the tractor movements often differ from the implement, both are also equipped with a unique DynamIQ terrain compensation.
