AutoTrac Turn Automation

AutoTrac Turn Automation is a system that coordinates machine and implement functions during end turns. Use AutoTrac Turn Automation with iTEC to automate many in-cab tasks. This automation allows the operator to focus on equipment and tasks and less on operating the machine.

AutoTrac Turn Automation is compatible with integrated AutoTrac. There are additional Requirements when using AutoTrac Turn Automation with IMS, ITEC, or Active Implement Guidance.

The following implements are not compatible with AutoTrac Turn Automation:

• Front-mounted implements

• Multiple implements pulled in series where the work point implement is not connected directly to the tractor

NOTE: Ground Driven Air Carts that do not allow you to select either the tow between or leading cart configuration are not supported for ATTA.

AutoTrac Turn Automation is compatible with integrated AutoTrac and RowSense.

It is recommended to use default settings when initially setting up AutoTrac Turn Automation. Default settings provide a starting point that performs well with many machine and implement configurations. With some configurations, it may be necessary to adjust the AutoTrac Turn Automation Advanced Settings to fine-tune performance. For example, the Minimum Turn Radius and Maximum Turn Angle values may need adjustment if changes to the tire configuration affect the machine width or if changes are made to the steering system.

At the end of a pass, AutoTrac Turn Automation is disabled before the turn if the unload auger is active or extended.

NOTE: The unload auger can be extended if the feature is enabled in Advanced Settings.

NOTE: Turn settings return to default values when an implement change is detected.

Start Turn Offset - Adjusts the turn path to begin before or after crossing the AutoPath headland track.

NOTE: Start Turn Offset is only available when using AutoPath—Boundaries.

Shift Row - Shifts the selected headland row towards or away from the exterior boundary.

NOTE: Shift Row is only available when using AutoPath—Rows.

Speed Control - Toggle speed control ON or OFF.

ON / OFF

After speed control is turned on, operator must press AutoTrac resume button to engage speed control.

CAUTION: The operator is responsible for controlling the speed of the machine when speed control is off. Ensure that the machine can safely and accurately perform turns. Remain alert and reduce speed to maintain control of the machine.

NOTE: When speed control is off, the slowest speed possible is the forward low speed limit for AutoTrac.

When speed control is off, select the checkbox to disable speed control window shade notifications. Notifications will remain off until the key is cycled.

Max turn speed and max in-field speed settings are disabled when speed control is off.

Max Turn Speed - Adjust the maximum speed that the machine can travel while turning.
Max In-Field Speed - Adjust the maximum machine speed when not in the headland.

Equipment Control - Toggle equipment control ON or OFF. When equipment control is OFF, AutoTrac Turn Automation can run without having iTEC sequences set up.

ON / OFF

CAUTION: The operator is responsible for controlling the implement when equipment control is off. Ensure that the implement is in the proper operating position for entering or exiting headland turns.

Headlands and Internal Boundaries - Modify the triggered sequences for headlands and interior boundaries.

Exit

Advanced Settings - Access further adjustments and less common settings.

Harvest Setup - Access header raise/lower automation functionality in the Harvest Setup application.
