Implement Steering Implement Monitoring True. Guide™ True. Tracker™

Different Types of Implement Guidance Implement monitoring – Monitor & record implement location in real time True. Guide (Passive Implement Steering) – Control the implement by moving the tractor – GPS position on the implement, corrected with Nav. II on tractor True. Tracker (Active Implement Steering) – Mechanically steer implement to follow exact path of tractor – GPS position on implement, corrected on implement

Implement Monitoring

Implement Monitoring Trimble components § Fm. X – True. Guide plug-in is free to use in implement monitor mode – 2 nd GPS Receiver unlock and cables – utilize 30 day temporary passcodes to demo product to customers. – Mounting pole – Roll Correction applied from Nav Controller Implement components § None required

True. Guide Passive Steering Tractor makes corrections for implement drift

True. Guide Trimble components § Fm. X – True. Guide unlock – Receiver unlock and cables – Mounting pole Implement components § None required

True. Guide Key Facts § Passive Implement Guidance § Reduces Implement XTE – applies “AUTO” vehicle nudge to position implement § Typically 50% improvement in implement XTE § Plug-in Unlock fee + second receiver unlock. For use with Auto. Pilot™. § Contact sales managers for a Fm. X 30 day unlock code to demo to prospective customers.

True. Guide - How does it work? – Control tractor based on combined input of tractor and implement location • System observes position of implement, compares it to position of tractor and steers tractor left or right to guide implement back to the line – Inexpensive (no extra Nav II, no extra hydraulics) – Immediate results

True. Guide – Where and how can it be used? § Vehicle types supported – MFWD - tractors – Tracked tractors – 4 wd Articulated tractors § Line types – Straights – very high level of performance – Identical curves – limitation on tightness of curve – Pivots – not tested but same principle as curves § Where can it not be used today? – Free. Form – records the tractor position not the implement – Headlands with tight turns

True. Guide – User Interface § Has it’s own aggressiveness § Can be turned on or off at anytime § Waits approximately two lengths of the implement for the tractor to react § Can be forced on at anytime by pressing the Auto button a second time

True. Guide Setup – What to Know § Autopilot tractor must have good calibration for optimal performance § Autopilot that is tuned very aggressively may need standard calibration. Set Autopilot Online Aggressiveness to 100%. § Roll Calibration of Autopilot must be correct

True. Guide Setup §Correct Implement Geometry entered § No backward offsets § Minimize forward offset § Left/right better alternative §Aggressiveness – Starting Target Range 30 -300% § Normal 50% § Slow Speed 70% § Steep Slopes 70% § Hi Speed operations > 12 kmh 33% §Decreasing True. Guide aggressiveness smoothes the response for moving vehicle offline. § Autopilot acquires the line before transition to True. Guide.

True. Guide – Field Experiences § Biggest challenges – Tight curves – Quick changes in terrain – Curves that change radius quickly – High speeds § Best practices – Keep the antenna as close to the pivot as possible – Reduce the antenna height – Use stabilizers – coulters to make the lateral movement of the implement more predictable

True. Guide – How to Measure it’s Performance § Conditions effect performance – Sloping terrain – Stability of the implement – Changing curves § Use implement monitoring to gauge the drift of an implement § True. Guide reduces drift by 50% or better, for example: – 8” to 4”

Best True. Guide Practices § § Achieved at speeds of 0 -8 mph Mount implement antenna low and stable. Watch for antenna blockage. When used with an implement that has increased draft / heavy pull like tillage tools, ground prep, air seeders, etc. True. Guide is not designed to work on row crop cultivation. This operation requires True. Tracker.

True. Guide – FAQ’s § Can I use a different correction on the implement? No § What comes in the True. Guide cabling kit and unlock? – Cabling for a 40’ implement and a cable for the Fm. X to hitch – Antenna hardware § Are there extensions? Yes, see Fm. X cabling guide § When will Articulated support be ready – v 5. 13 Nav II § Will True. Guide replace my True. Tracker market? No, True. Guide cannot replace repeatable sub-inch performance in all conditions

True. Tracker™ Active steering - The tractor holds the line and the implement steers itself

Why True. Tracker ? § Precision and accuracy at the implement – – Curved rows Hill sides Control in Reverse Repeatable implement pattern § Inter-row seeding – Planting – Cultivation – Side Dressing § Row Crops – – Fertilizer placement Planting Strip tillage Harvest

True. Tracker § Active Implement Steering via hydraulic articulation. § Introduced 5 years ago – has become the performance standard for Implement Steering. § Perception from customers is that it only works with steering coulters like the Orthman Tracker IV. § But there are many options………. .

True. Tracker § Orthman Tracker IV & Shadow Tracker §Tongue Steer – like ETS Soil Warrior §Load Bearing – Potato planter § 3 pt Side shift – like Ag Navigator § 3 pt Articulating - like Sunco
