AutoTrac on Mixed Fleets Now Easier to Use

AutoTrac on Mixed Fleets Now Easier to Use

Farmers and contractors running multi-brand fleets can  

now use John Deere’s AutoTrac TIM (Tractor Implement

Management) activation for the Gen4 Universal Displays.

This development means that the proven guidance system AutoTrac can be used on all tractors with AEF (Agricultural Electronics Foundation) certified TIM guidance capability.

The new AutoTrac TIM is a complementary offering that is fully integrated. The key benefit is that no further steering wheel or controller complements are needed.

This is a simple solution for farmers and contractors with mixed fleets who want to use a universal guidance system. To run AutoTrac TIM, they need the AEF-certified Gen4 Universal Display (4240 or 4640) with AutoTrac activation and a StarFire 6000 or 7000 receiver.  

If the machine (regardless of brand) is equipped with a JDLink™ modem, data can be exchanged wirelessly and free of charge with the John Deere Operations Centre™. It enables workflows to be set up, planned, monitored and analysed in a single online portal. This also allows customers to use functions for precision farming, such as creating application maps. These can then be sent directly to tractors in the field using John Deere AutoSetup.

By enabling AutoTrac TIM activation for use by other brands, John Deere ensures customers with mixed fleets won’t miss out on the company’s unique solutions for agriculture.
