Configuring TRAIL-Control
TRAIL-Control
The TRAIL-Control system steers a trailer in such a way that its tires follow the tractor's track
precisely.
TRAIL-Control has the following functions:
▪ Steering for a trailed implement:
– Drawbar steering – the drawbar of the trailed implement is steered in a selected direction.
– Stub axle steering – the wheels of the trailed implement are steered in a selected direction.
▪ Slope counter-steering:
– Steering of a trailed implement against a slope, when working on inclined ground.
The following requirements must be met for TRAIL-Control to work:
▪ Minimum speed = 3 km/h. Steering is not possible at lower speeds.
▪ (Default) Maximum speed = 15 km/h. If you drive faster than 15 km/h, the TRAIL-Control function
will be automatically switched off.
Note: The implement manufacturer is capable of increasing or decreasing the maximum speed
before delivering the field sprayer to adjust it for the characteristics of the field sprayer and its
intended use.
▪ The maximum speed can be adjusted for the trailed implement and increased by the implement
manufacturer.
▪ Minimum oil throughput for the hydraulic system of the tractor = 25 l/min. The minimum oil
throughput may be greater for large field sprayers.
