April 10, 2006 - Since its introduction in 2002, the GreenStar™ AutoTrac assisted-steering system has been adopted by producers to bring more efficiency to their machines and field operations. AutoTrac and GreenStar™ Guidance Systems bring more accuracy, reduce passes in the field, and reduce operator fatigue when operating John Deere tractors, combine harvesters, and sprayers.

John Deere Ag Management Solutions is pleased to announce the availability of Curve Track for GreenStar™ AutoTrac Assisted Steering Systems with the Original GreenStar™ Display. Curve Track allows engagement of the system for contour and conventional round and round applications. Growers will find this system to be even more efficient, since it can be used for varying field situations. To download Curve Track to an existing card, visit www.stellarsupport.com and select GreenStar™ System Update. For growers using AutoTrac on the recently released GreenStar 2™ System, this Curve Track feature is included as standard.

Using common interchangeable components, the John Deere Ag Management Solutions range of products makes precision farming an affordable option for all farming operations. The same common components used in the AutoTrac™ assisted steering system can be used for a wide variety of other GreenStar™ systems, such as Field Doc™ data collection, map-based prescriptions and the Harvest Doc™ yield-mapping system for Combine Harvesters.
