AutoTrac™ Controller

Control a mixed fleet of machines with AutoTrac™ Controller

Operators need to get the most out of their fleets in order to stay one step ahead. As a fully-integrated system, AutoTrac Controller brings high-precision guidance to a mixed fleet of machines.

 

AutoTrac Controller operates with a large variety of tractor platforms and can use all levels of StarFire™ accuracy, from SF1 to RTK.

 

AutoTrac Controller provides the highest precision to non-John Deere and older John Deere tractors.

AutoTrac™ assisted steering system greatly increases operator productivity by maintaining consistent accuracy and efficiency. Operators remain more alert while they are in the field and are able to focus on implement settings and varying field conditions. AutoTrac also allows operators to confidently create evenly spaced rows past sunset, as well as in rain, dust, or fog.

AutoTrac allows the operator to maintain the optimal working speed for a specific application. This helps maintain peak machine and implement performance, resulting in a uniform field. Consistent speed also allows for more acres to be covered in a day for those applications that require higher speeds, like spraying.

 

AutoTrac also improves operator comfort as the operator has time to concentrate on implement tasks.

As tractors and field equipment become larger and heavier, there is a growing concern about soil compaction. Heavy equipment and tillage implements can cause damage to the soil structure. Soil structure is important because it determines the ability of a soil to hold and conduct water, nutrients, and air necessary for plant root activity.

 

By using AutoTrac™ steering system, operators can optimize the number of passes and reduce compaction. Additionally, the operator can confine traffic between certain rows and avoid compacting the row area.

 

AutoTrac allows producers to use the same traffic lanes year after year, sacrificing a small portion of the field in favor of having no wheel traffic in the majority of the field. Restricting traffic to specific lanes also provides a firm soil surface for more efficient tractor operation.

 

Without using AutoTrac during field operations, there is tendency for passes to overlap. Each pass over a field under poor conditions can cause significant damage to the soil.

The StarFire™ 6000 Receiver offers multiple differential correction signal levels to match receiver performance with the needs of the operation.

StarFire 6000 horizontal pass-to-pass accuracy:

• SF1: +/- 15 cm (5.9 in.)
• SF3: +/- 3 cm (1.2 in.)
• Radio RTK: +/- 2.5 cm (1.0 in.)
• Mobile RTK: +/- 2.5 cm (1.0 in.)

NOTE: Horizontal pass-to-pass accuracy specifications are 1D and are based upon a 15-minute time period, 95 percent confidence interval, clear view of the sky, no signal interference, no scintillation, and ideal atmospheric conditions (free from solar disturbances and other ionospheric/tropospheric activity). Performance may vary based on GNSS constellation health.

 

NOTE: Radio RTK horizontal accuracy specification is based on the maximum supported baseline (distance from the RTK base station) of 20 km (12 miles) and a properly installed RTK base station.

 

NOTE: Mobile RTK horizontal accuracy specification is based on a 20-km (12-mile) baseline (distance from the nearest network RTK base station). Performance will vary based on network geometry.

What does pass-to-pass accuracy really mean for the user?

Pass-to-pass accuracy defines how accurate the receiver is at calculating its position over a relatively short (15-minute) time window. For each point in time during that 15-minute window, a pass-to-pass error value is calculated based on the difference between the desired track spacing at the receiver and the actual track spacing based on the receiver’s calculated position. The error values for the entire 15-minute period are combined and the pass-to-pass accuracy value is defined as the 95 percent confidence interval of the data set, meaning 95 percent of the error values are less than or equal to the specification.

 

Pass-to-pass accuracy is measured at the receiver and does not take into account additional error sources such as AutoTrac™ control system error, ground conditions, or implement drift.

Pass-to-pass accuracy has a direct impact on guess-row spacing during jobs like planting, strip till, or fertilizer application, which can have a direct impact on yield potential. Guess-row spacing is also critical for operational efficiency and reducing crop damage in operations that mix implements of various widths.

What does repeatability really mean for the operator?

Repeatability defines how accurately the receiver can calculate its position over a relatively long time window. Repeatability is measured at the receiver and does not take into account additional error sources such as AutoTrac control system error, ground conditions, or implement drift.

 

In-season repeatability is critical when using AutoTrac for multiple jobs throughout the growing season. One example would be creating AutoTrac guidance lines during planting, then using those same guidance lines to complete subsequent jobs such as side-dressing fertilizer, post-emerge spraying, and harvesting.

 

Long-term repeatability is critical when mapping interior and exterior boundaries for later use as input to John Deere Section Control on planters, sprayers, and fertilizer applicators. Long-term repeatability is also critical for growers that use the same AutoTrac guidance lines over multiple seasons for operations like subsurface-drip irrigation, controlled traffic, or alternating planter spacing between the rows from a previous season.

Pass-to-pass accuracy also has a direct impact on the amount of skip or overlap that occurs during operations like spraying, fertilizer spreading, or conventional tillage, which has a direct impact on yield potential and input costs.

Country	SF3 In-season repeatability modeling verified?	Notes
Canada	Yes (see notes)	Western portion of British Columbia is not verified due to proximity to a tectonic plate boundary
United States	Yes (see notes)	Locations not verified include Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington due to the random nature of tectonic plate movement in those areas

StarFire 6000 repeatability:

• SF1: no repeatability, position drifts over time
• SF3: +/- 3 cm (1.2 in.) in-season repeatability (where applicable)
• Radio RTK: +/- 2.5 cm (1.0 in.) long-term repeatability
• Mobile RTK: +/- 2.5 cm (1.0 in.) long-term repeatability (where applicable)

NOTE: Repeatability specifications are based on a 95 percent confidence interval, clear view of the sky, no signal interference, no scintillation, and ideal atmospheric conditions (free from solar disturbances and other ionospheric/tropospheric activity). Performance may vary based on GNSS constellation health.

 

NOTE: Radio RTK repeatability specifications are based on a properly installed RTK base station and a base station position that has not been modified after initial setup.

 

NOTE: Mobile RTK repeatability may be impacted by updates to network reference frames or adjustments for tectonic plate movement. Networks in some areas of California, Oregon, and Washington will be updated more frequently due to tectonic plate movement.

 

NOTE: SF3 repeatability specifications have been validated through at least a 9-month period. A guidance-line shift may or may not be required after a period longer than 9 months. SF3 repeatability claims are only valid after the receiver has completed a full pull in and is operating at 100 percent accuracy. SF3 repeatability may be impacted by large unpredictable geological events such as earthquakes.

 

NOTE: SF3 repeatability performance may vary in the locations marked No in the table below due to the unpredictable nature of local tectonic plate movement or lack of historical data to verify SF3 tectonic plate models. The StarFire 6000/SF3 system will still apply repeatability modeling and attempt to correct for tectonic plate drift in these areas unless the receiver is located very close to a tectonic plate border, but performance may vary by location:

 

Farming requires multiple passes. This requires a method of guidance with a high degree of repeatability in order to minimize overlap (extra cost of seed, fertilizer, chemical and machine hours) and skips (loss of production).

 

Maintaining repeatable accuracy is important in all operations, especially with cropping practices that require multiple passes through the field. AutoTrac creates more consistent row spacing, reducing the potential for crop damage with subsequent passes through the field.

 

University studies have shown that operators tend to overlap 5 to 13 percent over the course of an entire day, which could mean up to 60 cm (23 in.) of overlap with a 6 m (19 ft) tillage implement. This means that a producer with 300 ha (740 acres) actually works and pays for 330 ha (815 acres).

 

With reducing overlap by using AutoTrac more ground is covered in the same time and inputs like chemicals, fertilizer, fuel, labor and machine hours are reduced.

Reduced overlap with AutoTrac
Field 1	4.72 percent
Field 2	8.03 percent
Field 3	12.74 percent
Average:	8.50 percent

Today’s producers demand more and with GreenStar™ technology and John Deere delivers. With GreenStar components, customers have the ability to document and map harvest data, create prescriptions, set field boundaries and more. This translates to better management practices, better yields, and more profit.

Harvest Doc Cotton
 
The Harvest Doc Cotton yield mapping system from John Deere Ag Management Solutions (AMS) gives cotton producers the ability to see harvest data right from the cab. Using yield data collected by the machine, detailed cotton yield maps can be generated in Apex™ Farm Management software to help producers make more informed decisions.

Harvest Doc Cotton-ready machines are equipped with mass-flow sensors that monitor cotton flow through the machine’s air ducts. This information is then sent to the display in the cab for operator viewing.

 

Machine compatibility:

• Both the 7760 and 7660 Cotton Pickers are Harvest Doc Cotton ready, straight from the factory.
• The 7460 Cotton Stripper is available with a field-installed attachment to make it Harvest Doc Cotton ready.

 For Harvest Doc Cotton functionality, the following GreenStar components are also needed:

• StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire™ iTC receiver
• GreenStar 3 (GS3) 2630 or GreenStar 2 (GS2) 2600 Display
• Data card or universal serial bus (USB) drive

NOTE: Harvest Doc Cotton-ready machines are equipped with mass-flow sensors and associated brackets, cab signal combiner module (SCM), StarFire receiver bracket, GS2/GS3 mounting bracket, and lightbar adapter harness.
 
GreenStar displays 

 

The GreenStar 3 (GS3) 2630 Display provides the operator with a number of items, including lint yield, load weight, GPS and recording status, cotton variety, area, and distance covered. All of this information can be compiled within the Harvest Doc Cotton system.

 

The GS3 2630 Display is fully compatible with both the 7760 and 7660.

 

StarFire receivers

 

StarFire receivers help producers track in-field productivity using GPS and GLONASS satellite signals.

 

In Harvest Doc Cotton, StarFire receivers' georeference yield data is captured by the mass flow sensors. This information is transferred to the cab display, which can then give operators yield data relative to field position.

 

To accommodate a wide range of accuracy needs and to offer unmatched upgradeability, the StarFire 3000 Receiver is available in different configurations: SF1 and SF2 ready.

 

Apex Farm Management software
 
In the office, Apex Farm Management software is used to generate detailed yield data.

The cotton yield map from Apex shows yield variance throughout the field. Also, printed on the map is the total number of acres harvested, harvest date, average yield, and harvest hours for the operator, farm, and field.
