NOTE: AutoTrac has been tuned to perform successfully in most field conditions using a variety of implements. For abnormal conditions, Advanced Settings allows the operator to fine-tune system for specific field conditions and implements. Adjusting steering sensitivity should be tried prior to using the steps in the below scenarios.
Check and fix other problems before tuning. Perform necessary mechanical checks and calibrations through associated machine. If this step is not performed, you risk making actual machine faults and wasting your time tuning a system that cannot be tuned.
General tuning tips maximize AutoTrac performance.
Overall AutoTrac Performance is acceptable, but wheels quickly twitch back and forth.
Continual back and forth motion is observed by looking over front nose of machine. Motion is observed, but off-track error shown on display (distance away from A—B line) is often relatively small.
AutoTrac seems sluggish when trying to stay on line and slowly wanders from side to side.
AutoTrac appears sluggish during line acquisition. The machine remains off to one side of line for a long time before getting lined up.
AutoTrac overshoots line, and continues to overcompensate during acquisition. Results in high frequency, tight S-ing pattern during acquisitions.
AutoTrac is sluggish in curve track, resulting in slow, wandering S-ing along desired line. Often tracks to outside of desired path.
AutoTrac exhibits rapid and high frequency corrections in Curve Track Mode, resulting in a tight S-ing pattern or tracking to inside of desired path.
