Realize the benefits of AutoTrac on Non-Deere machines. •Make long days easier with equipment and technology that works together for you. •Increase productivity by being able to cover more ground. •Reduce overlap and maximize inputs. •Reduce fatigue and improve operator experience Selecting the right correction signal Achieve critical accuracy of in-field operations As equipment gets larger and margins tighter, accuracy of in-field operations and input placement is more critical than ever. When making a pass in a field, traveling from one end of the field to another, the position accuracy of the return pass is critical. Pass-to-pass accuracy means the planter guess rows will be accurate and subsequent passes are less likely to result in crop damage. Repeatability defines how accurately the receiver calculates its position over a relatively long time window. GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display: Increase profitability and reduce overlap Farming requires multiple passes. This requires a method of guidance with a high degree of repeatability in order to minimize overlap (extra cost of seed, fertilizer, chemical and machine hours) and skips (loss of production). Maintaining repeatable accuracy is important in all operations, especially with cropping practices that require multiple passes through the field. AutoTrac creates more consistent row spacing, reducing the potential for crop damage with subsequent passes through the field. University studies have shown that operators tend to overlap 5 to 13 percent over the course of an entire day, which could mean up to 60 cm (23 in.)
