TrueGuide system
The working implement behind the tractor is where precision counts, and the only way to directly
influence the implement is to measure where it is and control it.
While you steer the vehicle, TrueGuide passively controls the implement to steer itself to the
guidance line.
The TrueGuide™ implement guidance system:
l Is used in conjunction with the Autopilot system
l Measures the position of the implement with a second GPSreceiver placed on the implement.
The Autopilot system can then adjust the position of the tractor to pull the implement on the
guidance line.
TrueGuide works with towed implements for front-steered, tracked, and articulated tractors.
For operation information, see TrueGuide operation (page 426).
Benefits
With TrueGuide, you can:
l Reduce the uncontrolled drift of the implement.
l Control large implements and minimize the effects of draft (due to varying soil conditions and
ground moisture) with no additional steering hardware.
l Guide the implement to the line, even in the most difficult field patterns.
l Tow your implement online when its natural tendency is to pull through curves.
l Prevent unpredictable implement movements caused by rolling terrain by adjusting on the go.
l Minimize the effect of downdraft on severe hillsides by having the Autopilot system pull the
implement up the hill and hold the line.
