Fendt Auto-Guide Pro

Fendt Auto-Guide Pro –assistance for professional workThe greatest share of costs in arable farming can be attributed tovariable costs. These are directly correlated to the area that is worked.With Auto-Guide Pro , machines and implements can be utilised moreeffectively, which reduces variable costs for operating materials used.19%Fixed costsFor grain, the savings potential of Auto-Guide Pro lies at up to four percent ofthe variable costs. Extrapolated to a market crop production business with500 hectares (75% wheat and barley, 25% oilseed rape), this saves some8,000 euro per year overall (sources: KTBL).17.777.021.181%Other variable costs16.51Variablecosts10%0%SeedsPesticides610451810724%FertiliserWinter wheat Barley Sugar beets MaizeVariable costs (E/ha)Savings potential (E/ha)Faster turning manoeuvres, since the field is cultivatedbed by bed, and fast and precise tracking. This is possiblewith Auto-Guide Pro , even under poor visibility conditionssuch as at night, in fog and dust or during pre-emergencework.With Auto-Guide Pro , drivers can concentrate fully on the implementsand are not occupied with steering the tractor. That increases driverperformance and has a positive effect on overall working quality.The high profitability of Fendt Variotractors has been confirmed many times.Low fuel consumption, long service intervalsand a high resale value are only threeof many convincing arguments for theVario.The benefits of Auto-Guide Pro furtherenhance the overall profitability of theVarios.Auto-Guide Pro - even more profitableAuto-Guide Pro cuts variable costs and reducesworking time. On the one hand, this is achievedthrough the reduction of overlaps and, on theother, through time saved manoeuvring at theheadlands, since fields are cultivated bed bybed. Overall that means shorter working timesand less consumption of fuel and operatingmaterials such as seeds, fertiliser or pesticides.

• Saves costs for seeds,fertiliser and pesticides• Saves fuel and reducesworking time• Optimises machineutilisation• Lowers repair coststhrough reducedimplement wear• Increases area coverage• Reduces overlapsand skips• Reduces driver fatigue• Enhances driving comfort• Increases working quality• Provides constantperformance under allvisibility conditionsEnhanced driving comfortAuto-Guide Pro not only gives you greaterprofitably from a financial perspective, it alsoimproves driving comfort. When making a run,you do not need to steer, which allows you tofocus your attention on the actual work beingdone with the implement.You can find the right track quickly and easywith Auto-Guide Pro , even under poor visibilityconditions or during pre-emergence work. Inthat way you remain fit over the entire day andin the evening, you will climb out of the tractorfeeling more relaxed.

Fendt Auto-Guide Pro –the way to the right trackFendt Auto-Guide Pro suits your individual requirements and manages almost any shape of field:Fendt-proLine: the classic automaticsteering system for driving along precisestraight parallel lines.Fendt-proContour: for guidance alongcurved, parallel lines.Fendt-proCircle: for guidance along concentriccircular tracksThe colour terminal permits simple and logical operation of Auto-Guide Pro . A broad range of memory options, for example, for fieldboundaries or obstacles make your work easier.Moreover, on the terminal you can view the areas that have alreadybeen worked. This facilitates orientation in the field and at theheadlands when visibility conditions are poor.Enables automatic steeringSince it is integrated in the Vario control concept,there are several options for enablingsteering assist. Auto-Guide Pro can be enabledthrough the terminal on the multi-functionarmrest (900 Vario) or the side console (700Vario, 800 Vario), or through the headlandmanagement Variotronic TI .900 Vario 700 Vario / 800 VarioAuto-Guide Pro helps you perform field workefficiently, particularly beneficial on longworking days. The ergonomic controls areperfectly integrated into the workplaceon the Fendt Vario tractors. The automaticsteering system has numerous functionsthat provide you with excellent conditionsfor performing your work.Always on the right trackWell-thought out functions facilitate optimumcultivation of your fields, even under low-visibilityconditions. Tracks are numbered and theworked areas are marked, allowing you to findthe next track quickly and easily. With the mappingfunction, you can save positions wherethere are special occurrences. This, for example,can prevent collisions with obstacles and theresulting damage.

• Suited for almost allshapes of fields• Visual and acousticsignals at fieldboundaries• Worked areas are marked• Saving and signalling ofobstacles and markers• Automatic detection offields that have alreadybeen saved• Optimum integration inthe Vario controls• Can be enabled viaheadland managementVariotronic TIIdeal at the headlandsBefore working a field, you can record and permanentlysave the boundaries. The system thensignals when you have reached the turningpoint. You can also set the distance to the fieldboundary. If the tractor is within a previouslyrecorded field boundary, the system automaticallydetects this and displays a list of all the A-Bwaylines that are available at this location.Enabling via Variotronic TIAutomatic steering can be enabled through theterminal on the multi-function armrest of theVariocentre (900 Vario) or the side console (700Vario/800 Vario). Integration in headland managementVariotronic TI allows you to take fulladvantage of Vario operating comfort.You can activate programmed procedures aswell as Auto-Guide Pro with a push of a button onthe joystick.

Choice of accuracy levelsAuto-Guide Standard VBS is ideal for work suchas stubble management, spreading compost, rolling,mowing or applying slurry.Auto-Guide Precision HP is primarily for seeddrilling and single grain sowing.Auto-Guide High Precision BS offers the highest accuracy,guaranteed by a user-operated local base station, even inareas with poor reception.Simple transferability: The individual components, such as the antenna, receiver or DMU, are accommodated in a compact housing. This TopDock can be transferred from one vehicle to another withinminutes. On the 900 Vario, it can be removed without even leaving the driver seat.700 Vario / 800 Vario 900 VarioThe installed dynamic measuring unit (DMU) records tractor movements alongsix axes. It not only automatically corrects deviations on slopes, but also ensuresexacter passes and bridges short signal interruptions as well.Auto-Guide Pro is available in several accuracylevels. The system is modularly designedand therefore very flexible.You can switch between the different correctionsignals that are available for aparticular system. If you require higheraccuracy, you can switch to the next level atany time. No new components are required.There are satellite-based correction signalservices as well as a user-operated RTK basestation available.OmniSTAR correction signal serviceAuto-Guide Pro uses a dual-frequency DGPSreceiver, which, in addition to signals from GPSsatellites, also receives correction signals.OmniSTAR is a worldwide satellite-basedcorrection signal service, which is availablethrough subscription. To receive the signals, noadditional equipment is required on the outsideof the tractor. OmniSTAR offers the accuracylevels VBS and HP.

Thestation’s compact design allows it to be set upquickly at the place of operation. The stationattains its full accuracy within a short amountof time. That gives you constant high precisionthe whole day long. The use of the base stationis recommended primarily for conditions wherethe OmniSTAR correction signal is difficult toreceive (northern latitudes, wooded or hilly terrain).The base station covers anarea within a radius of five kilometres.This permits several vehiclesto use the signals of just one RTKbase station.The RTK base station providesits own signal independent ofreference signal subscriptionsoffered by commercial providersof correction signals. Theclever design of the stationmakes it ideal as a mobilebase station.

The attainable accuracy lies within thisrange up to 95 percent of the time. The static accuracy indicates how accurate the measuredposition of a stationary tractor is over a longer period of time (usually 24 hours). Thedynamic accuracy specifies the repeatable pass-to-pass accuracy that is attainable withina 15-minute time frame.These values are for the automatic steering system alone. The accuracy that can actuallybe attained in practice depends on various factors.The Auto-Guide performance data is based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) ofthe US Department of Defence.
