VarioGuide – the new <strong>Fendt</strong> automatic steering system<br />

The new automatic steering system developed by <strong>Fendt</strong> o ers<br />

a high degree of operational reliability and accuracy and is fully<br />

integrated in the Varioterminal 10.4". Pro t from maximum<br />

operating comfort and decisive economical bene ts.<br />

VarioDoc– the <strong>Fendt</strong> documentation system<br />

<strong>Fendt</strong> VarioDoc is the time-saving documentation system for<br />

your operations and enables wireless transfer of data to your<br />

eld database.


Screen layout<br />

Up to four applications can be displayed<br />

simultaneously on the<br />

Varioterminal 10.4". You can easily<br />

choose and change the arrangement<br />

of the applications on the screen as<br />

you wish.<br />

<strong>Variotronic</strong> Implement Control<br />

All ISOBUS implements can be displayed<br />

clearly in full screen mode and<br />

conveniently controlled with touch<br />

technology. Up to 12 functions can be<br />

controlled at the same time.<br />

Implement and tractor settings<br />

In the half-screen view, two applications<br />

are displayed side by side and<br />

can be controlled at the same time.<br />

For example, in this way the settings<br />

for the implement and the engine<br />

and transmission can be optimally<br />

matched to each other.<br />

Camera functions<br />

The Varioterminal features two camera<br />

functions with zoom. This, for example,<br />

really makes coupling implements<br />

much easier. When working with<br />

rear-mounted implements, it is not<br />

necessary to constantly turn around.<br />

Headland Management <strong>Variotronic</strong> TI<br />

The new <strong>Variotronic</strong> TI headland management<br />

allows operators to create turning manoeuvres very<br />

easily, while the tractor is standing or driving, and<br />

then saves them for the speci c implement. The<br />

entire operating sequence is shown along with the<br />

corresponding triggers and values, such as the seconds<br />

or the distance to the next step, which makes<br />

it easy for operators to understand the procedure.<br />

Individual steps in the operating sequence can be<br />

edited at a later time.<br />

ISOBUS (ISO 11783) compliant<br />

implement control<br />

In the new Varioterminal you can define individual<br />

settings for each ISO 11783 compliant<br />

implement as well as for several operators and<br />

save them under a custom name. Once configured,<br />

each individual setting can be loaded<br />

very easily and edited, if required. An additional<br />

terminal, which can obstruct your view and run<br />

up extra costs, is not necessary.<br />

<strong>Variotronic</strong> TI headland management<br />

The <strong>Variotronic</strong> TI headland management is<br />

fully integrated in the Varioterminal and is<br />

shown clearly laid out in the display. With just<br />

a touch of a button, operators can activate<br />

automated operating sequences at the headlands.<br />

To optimise the progression of the steps,<br />

they can be edited and adjusted individually.<br />

<strong>Variotronic</strong> TI saves you time at the headlands<br />

and prevents possible operating errors on long<br />

work days.<br />

The greatest share of costs in arable farming can be attributed to variable<br />

costs. These are directly correlated to the area to be worked. With<br />

VarioGuide, machines and implements can be utilised more e ectively,<br />

which reduces variable costs for the crop inputs used.<br />

Faster turning manoeuvres, since elds can be cultivated<br />

bed-by-bed, and paths are found quickly<br />

and precisely. This is all possible with VarioGuide,<br />

even under poor visibility conditions such as at<br />

night, in fog and dust or during pre-emergence<br />

For grain, the savings potential with VarioGuide lies at up to four percent of<br />

the variable costs. Extrapolated to a market crop production business with<br />

500 hectares (75% wheat and barley, 25% oilseed rape), this saves a total of<br />

some 8,000 euros per year (sources: KTBL).<br />

When using VarioGuide, operators can concentrate fully on the implements, since they are not<br />

occupied with steering the tractor. This increases operator performance and has a positive e ect<br />

on the overall working quality.<br />

The new VarioGuide steering system, developed<br />

by <strong>Fendt</strong>, guarantees maximum reliability<br />

thanks to new satellite technology.<br />

This means relaxed working conditions<br />

over longer periods of time, whether by day<br />

or night. It allows you to concentrate fully<br />

on the implement.<br />

Even when visibility is poor, precise driving<br />

is no a problem. That means shorter working<br />

times and lower consumption of fuel<br />

and inputs, such as seeds or pesticides.<br />

VarioGuide – even more profitable<br />

VarioGuide enables the highest possible utilisation<br />

of the machine, because you can even<br />

work at night or when visibility is poor due to<br />

dust or fog, and still achieve an optimum result.<br />

At the same time, area coverage is significantly<br />

increased, since the number of skips and overlaps<br />

is reduced. The highly efficient use of crop<br />

inputs with VarioGuide provides savings of<br />

up to three to ten percent, depending on the<br />

working procedure.<br />

Enhanced driving comfort<br />

With VarioGuide you not only work more profitably,<br />

but also benefit from clearly improved<br />

operator comfort. The tractor automatically<br />

drives in the right track, so operators can focus<br />

their attention fully on the actual work with the<br />

implement. Automated turning manoeuvres<br />

with the <strong>Variotronic</strong> TI headland management<br />

also reduce operator stress.<br />

Always connected<br />

VarioGuide is operated using the Varioterminal<br />

and uses American GPS satellites as well as<br />

the Russian GLONASS satellite system and is<br />

also ready for use with the planned European<br />

Galileo system. The parallel use of several systems<br />

guarantees consistent high reliability of<br />

the automatic steering system. For bed-by-bed<br />

cultivation of your fields, several waylines can<br />

be saved per field.<br />

• Reduced operator workload<br />

and significant<br />

increase in driving<br />

comfort<br />

• Vario operating concept<br />

completely integrated in<br />

the automatic steering<br />

system<br />

• High reliability through<br />

parallel use of GPS and<br />

GLONASS satellites<br />

• Savings in seeds, fertiliser<br />

and pesticides<br />

• Saves fuel and valuable<br />

working time<br />

• Optimises machine<br />

utilisation<br />

• Lowers repair costs<br />

through reduced<br />

implement wear<br />

• Increases area coverage<br />

• Reduces overlaps and<br />

skips<br />

• Increases working quality<br />

• Consistent performance<br />

under all visibility<br />

conditions day or night


VarioGuide Standard<br />

• Ideal for work such as stubble management, spreading<br />

compost, applying slurry, rolling or mowing.<br />

• Accuracy class: +/- 20 cm<br />

• Correction signals: EGNOS (free of charge), OmniSTAR VBS<br />

(subscription required)<br />

With Vario Standard you have the choice between the<br />

free EGNOS correction signal and the subscription-based<br />

OmniSTAR VBS, which shines with superior reliability. The<br />

satellite-supported mode of operation allows you to pro t<br />

from both correction signals – wherever you work.<br />

VarioGuide –<br />

accuracy tailored to your needs<br />

<strong>Fendt</strong> VarioGuide suits your individual requirements and manages almost any shape of field<br />

VarioGuide Precision<br />

• Suitable for almost all kinds of farming applications, such<br />

as grain sowing (except for row crops)<br />

• Accuracy class: +/- 5 cm<br />

• Correction signal: OmniSTAR HP (subscription required)<br />

The decisive advantage of VarioGuide Precision is the<br />

addition of grain sowing the areas of application. Just like<br />

VarioGuide Standard, the signal o ers full exibility for<br />

businesses with changing working regions.<br />

VarioGuide helps you perform field work<br />

efficiently, even on long working days.<br />

VarioGuide is available in various accuracy<br />

levels to match the requirements of your<br />

operations. The modular design of the system<br />

allows updating to a higher accuracy<br />

level at any time. You can still continue<br />

to use the same system components and<br />

saved settings.<br />

VarioGuide RTK and VarioGuide Ntrip<br />

O er the highest accuracy – ideal for specialty crops.<br />

• Accuracy class: +/- 2 cm<br />

• Correction signals: Mobile RTK with a transmitting radius<br />

of 3 - 5 km, stationary RTK with a transmitter range of up<br />

to 30 km, Ntrip with mobile radio transmission<br />

With VarioGuide RTK/Ntrip you can achieve the greatest<br />

accuracy and constant precision throughout the day and<br />

night The RTK station provides correction signals without<br />

requiring a subscription and covers a radius of up to ve<br />

kilometres. This permits several vehicles to use the signals of<br />

just one RTK base station.<br />

With Ntrip, the signals are transmitted reliably through the<br />

mobile communications network, which guarantees high<br />

availability. In this way you can attain maximum accuracy,<br />

even when working in di erent regions.<br />

Easy to move and well protected<br />

The antenna unit can easily be transferred between VarioGuide ready machines<br />

within minutes. The individual components, such as the antenna, receiver and<br />

roll bias compensation unit are accommodated in a compact housing unit and<br />

fully integrated in the roof. The antenna is therefore optimally protected against<br />

external in uences such as blows from branches.<br />

Always on the right track<br />

In addition to the OmniSTAR correction signal<br />

and the mobile reference station with a range<br />

of up to three to five kilometres, there are also<br />

other correction signal services available: the<br />

free European signal EGNOS, a stationary RTK<br />

station with a transmitting capacity of up to<br />

High reliability and constant signal<br />

VarioGuide uses GPS satellites and the Russian<br />

GLONASS system and is already ready for the<br />

future European GALILEO satellite system. The<br />

<strong>Fendt</strong> automatic steering system also works<br />

with the latest receiver technology for all the<br />

signals. On the one hand, that guarantees<br />

exceptional reliability and accuracy, on the<br />

other, it almost completely prevents obstruction<br />

through trees or similar objects.<br />

Proportional valves for gentle steering<br />

The fast-responding proportional valves constantly<br />

deliver the oil volume that the terminal<br />

has specified. Driving into the track is so fast<br />

and precise The steering corrections are very<br />

sensitive in the track.<br />

Optimised tracking for the implement<br />

Operators can define the implement precisely<br />

in the terminal, the VarioGuide automatic steering<br />

can be optimised for each implement.<br />

VarioDoc and VarioDoc Pro –<br />

The professional documentation system<br />

Easy documentation with VarioDoc or VarioDoc Pro<br />

VarioDoc ensures e cient job management for your business. The basic version is included in the Varioterminal<br />

10.4" as standard. The enhanced version VarioDoc Pro also o ers recording of position data via GPS, including tractor<br />

parameters, and data transfer via mobile network. Operators can also choose between automated data recording<br />

and job management. It is controlled using the VarioDoc menu in the Varioterminal. All data are displayed concisely<br />

and easy to understand.<br />

RECORD<br />

Documentation is the most important basis<br />

for economic analyses in agricultural businesses<br />

today. The legal and social requirements<br />

for recording data are also growing<br />

ever more. With the new VarioDoc, this data<br />

can be recorded with a minimum of effort<br />

and time, documented in the field record<br />

and analysed.<br />

?<br />

All data are transferred<br />

wirelessly to the o ce PC and<br />

automatically saved. Bothersome<br />

exporting of data with<br />

a memory card is no longer<br />

required. Data loss is therefore a<br />

thing of the past.<br />

Modern job management<br />

VarioDoc is the solution for efficient job management<br />

and convenient data recording for<br />

farming businesses and contractors. Using<br />

the Varioterminal, all relevant information can<br />

already be entered in the field so that follow-up<br />

work in the office is reduced to a minimum. And<br />

it works the other way around, too – new jobs<br />

can be created using the PC and transferred to<br />

the terminal.<br />

12


Secure data exchange<br />

Just one single synchronisation procedure is<br />

all that is needed to update data on both the<br />

PC and terminal. Then you have all the current<br />

master data, such as on pesticide or fertiliser<br />

use, available on board and you can react<br />

to changing conditions swiftly. Convenient<br />

data exchange via Bluetooth or mobile communications<br />

network guarantees a secure<br />

transfer. Jobs are saved in the terminal until<br />

the exchange has been completely finished.<br />

13<br />

Compatible with several field databases<br />

The open ISOXML Standard enables data<br />

exchange with field files from suppliers such<br />

as BASF, Helm, Land-Data Eurosoft and<br />

agrocom. <strong>Fendt</strong> is therefore the first to offer a<br />

documentation system that is compatible with<br />

several different field database files.<br />

• Fully integrated in the<br />

Vario control concept<br />

• Data can be entered<br />

immediately on-location<br />

• Fast and easy transfer into<br />

the field record file<br />

• Open ISOXML standard for<br />

data transfer with<br />

field database files from<br />

different manufacturers

3) Notes on accuracy speci cations: Static accuracy indicates how accurate the measured position of a stationary tractor is over a longer period<br />

of time (usually 24 hours). Dynamic accuracy speci es the repeatable pass-to-pass accuracy that is attainable within a 15-minute time frame. The<br />

speci ed values correspond to the maximum attainable system accuracy under optimum conditions. The accuracy that can actually be attained in<br />

practice depends on various factors. <strong>AGCO</strong> is not responsible for its availability or for reduced accuracy caused by operational degradation, ionospheric<br />

or tropospheric conditions or satellite geometry. <strong>AGCO</strong> does not take responsibility for the performance data of this service.<br />
