Steering sensitivity is the aggressiveness of the AutoTrac steering system. A high steering sensitivity setting is more aggressive and allows the system to handle tough manual steering conditions, such as integral implements with a heavy draft load. A low steering sensitivity setting is less aggressive and allows the system to handle lighter draft loads and higher speeds.
Enter a number from 50 through 200. Default value is 70.
Too Low — If steering sensitivity is too low, a slow wandering track error pattern can be observed on the display. This track error pattern takes approximately 10 seconds to go from side to side. If excessive track error is occurring, increase steering sensitivity by small increments until desired accuracy is achieved.
Too High — Setting steering sensitivity to highest level does not result in maximum tracking accuracy. If steering sensitivity is too high, excessive front wheel motion occurs. This reduces accuracy, and causes unnecessary front axle component wear. At extreme high levels, machine motion becomes large enough to cause steering sensitivity to be momentarily changed to default level. Aggressiveness is considered too high if side to side wheel motion occurs at approximately 1 second. If excessive wheel motion is observed, lower steering sensitivity by small increments until desired performance is achieved.
NOTE: It is normal to see a momentary track error when encountering a large rut, furrow, or implement load change. Proper steering sensitivity adjustment minimizes track error.
