Safety

Use Seat Belt Properly
Use a seat belt when you operate with a roll-over
protective structure (ROPS) or cab to minimize chance of
injury from an accident such as an overturn.
TS205 —UN—23AUG88

Do not use a seat belt if operating without a ROPS or cab.
Replace entire seat belt if mounting hardware, buckle,
belt, or retractor show signs of damage.
Inspect seat belt and mounting hardware at least
once a year. Look for signs of loose hardware or belt
damage, such as cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear,
discoloration, or abrasion. Replace only with replacement
parts approved for your machine. See your John Deere
dealer.

DX,ROPS1 -19-29OCT07-1/1

• Never get on or off a moving vehicle.
• Verify the machine, implement, and guidance system

Operate Guidance Systems Safely
Do not use guidance systems on roadways. Always turn
off (disable) guidance systems before entering a roadway.
Do not attempt to turn on (activate) a guidance system
while transporting on a roadway.

•
•

Guidance systems are intended to aid the operator in
performing field operations more efficiently. The operator
is always responsible for the machine path.

•

Guidance Systems include any application that automates
vehicle steering. This includes, but may not be limited to,
AutoTrac, iGuide, iTEC Pro, ATU, and RowSense.

•

To prevent injury to the operator and bystanders:

are set up correctly. If using iTEC Pro, verify accurate
boundaries have been defined.
Remain alert and pay attention to the surrounding
environment.
Take control of the steering wheel, when necessary, to
avoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or other
obstacles.
Stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your
ability to operate the machine or identify people or
obstacles in the machine path.
Consider field conditions, visibility, and vehicle
configuration when selecting vehicle speed.

AutoTrac Accuracy
IMPORTANT: The John Deere AutoTrac system relies
on the GPS system operated by the government
of the United States, which is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The system
is subject to changes that could affect accuracy
and performance of all GPS equipment.
The overall AutoTrac system accuracy is dependent upon
many variables. The equation looks like:
AutoTrac System Accuracy = Signal accuracy + Vehicle
Setup + Implement Setup + Field/Soil Conditions.

•

as shanks, shovels, and sweeps are in good working
condition and correctly spaced).
Understand how field/soil conditions affect system
(loose soil requires more steering than firm soil, but firm
soil can cause uneven draft loads).

IMPORTANT: Although AutoTrac system can be
activated when SF2 (or SF1 if using AutoTrac
SF1 activation) correction signal is confirmed,
system accuracy may continue to increase
after powering up system.

It is very important to remember:

AutoTrac SF2 activation will operate on a SF1, SF2, or
RTK signal.

• Receiver has to go through a warm-up period after

AutoTrac SF1 activation will operate on a SF1 signal only.

General Information
All operators must be familiar with AutoTrac system and
operating characteristics prior to operation. Operator must
know the make of the AutoTrac controller installed on their
machine prior to operation.The following is a suggested
procedure for operator to become familiar with system:
1. Read and understand Operators Manual for GreenStar
Guidance—Parallel Tracking and AutoTrac Assisted
Steering Systems.
2. Choose an open area free of hazards (ditches,
buildings, etc.).
3. Set Track Spacing to 92.0 meters (300 ft).
4. Set a Track 0 (A—B Line).
NOTE: Operate vehicle at a speed you are comfortable,
recommend less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
5. Enable AutoTrac on display by turning Steer ON.
6. Press Resume switch to activate AutoTrac. (See
Activating system later in this section).
7. After driving a short distance, then turn steering wheel
to turn vehicle off track to deactivate AutoTrac. (See
Deactivating System later in this section).
8. Practice Activating AutoTrac at different distances
before and after crossing track and at different angles.
Increase and decrease speeds to simulate different
operating conditions.
9. Reduce Track Spacing to acquire multiple tracks and
continue practicing activating AutoTrac at different
angles and varying speeds to understand how
AutoTrac behaves under different conditions.

Always be prepared to resume manual control if AutoTrac
does not perform expected maneuvers or machine course
must be changed to avoid injury or property damage.
Operator can regain manual steering by turning steering
wheel or Disabling AutoTrac by turning Steer off on
display. It is recommended practice to be as close as
possible to desired track prior to activating AutoTrac. This
will ensure correct track and direction are acquired.
The AutoTrac basic system is intended to be used as
an assistance tool to mechanical markers on planters.
Operator must evaluate overall system accuracy to
determine specific field operations where assisted
steering may be used. This evaluation is necessary
because accuracy required for various field operations
may differ depending on farming operation. Because
AutoTrac uses StarFire differential correction network
along with Global Positioning System (GPS), slight shifts
in position may occur over time.
To operate AutoTrac operator must set track 0 (similar to
parallel tracking) and all tracks are drawn parallel to track
0 using track spacing.
The AutoTrac system operating status can exist at four
levels: INSTALLED, CONFIGURED, ENABLED, and
ACTIVATED.
After enabling AutoTrac (see Enabling AutoTrac),
AutoTrac is activated by pressing resume switch
on armrest (see Activating AutoTrac). To return to
manual steering, operator must deactivate system (see
Deactivating System).
If required track can be shifted left, right or centered using
shift track feature on display. (See Shift Track).

Path Accuracy Indicator - Is a visual indicator of off-track
error. The indicator consists of eight boxes on each side
of the off-track error box. The boxes will light up indicating
the direction the vehicle must be steered to get back on
the AB line. Each arrow represents a distance (default is
10 cm (4 in.)). This distance and the steering direction
may be defined on the Lightbar Settings Page:
GreenStar Main Page -> Settings -> Guidance Settings
-> Lightbar Settings
Off Track Error (A)– Off Track error is numerically displayed
in the box. Off Track error will be displayed in cm (inches)
up to 99 cm (35 in.). If Off Track error exceeds 99 cm (35
in.), the distance displayed will change to meters (feet).

Tuning Recommendations

e. Aggressive Line Acquisition—AutoTrac
overshoots the line, and continues to
overcompensate during acquisition. Results in high
frequency, tight S-ing pattern during acquisitions.

NOTE: AutoTrac Controller has been tuned to perform
very well in most field conditions using the
variety of implements encountered by AutoTrac.
However, for those conditions outside of normal,
we have provided Advanced Settings to allow
the operator fine tune their systems for specific
field conditions and implements.

f. Lazy Curve Track Performance—AutoTrac is
sluggish in Curve Track mode resulting in slow,
wandering S-ing about the desired line and often
tracks to the outside of the desired path.

Problem or Situation:
AutoTrac performance during line acquisitions, Curve Trac
or in-row S-ing that can’t be tuned out using the Steering
Sensitivity adjustment.
Difficult ground conditions (extremely soft or extremely
rough) require additional tuning beyond the capabilities of
the standard Steering Sensitivity value.

Read this information in it’s entirety BEFORE tuning
AutoTrac Advanced Settings.

This software version includes 6 different tunable
sensitivities that allow finer adjustment of the AutoTrac
system. The following are details for tuning this
software:
1. Check & fix other problems before you
tune—Perform necessary mechanical checks and
calibrations through associated tractor. It is important
to do this step first otherwise you run the risk of
masking actual machine faults and wasting your time
tuning a system that cannot be tuned.
2. Characterize the current AutoTrac problem—There
are various types of issues this software may be able
to resolve. First, the specific type of problem needs to
be identified from the possible items below:
a. Excessive Wheel Motion—Overall AutoTrac
performance is acceptable, but the operator is
concerned about how quickly the wheels are
twitching back and forth.
b. Aggressive S-ing Motion—Continual back and
forth motion as observed by the operator looking
out over the front nose of the tractor. Although a lot
of motion is observed, the off-track error shown on
the display (distance away from AB line) is often
relatively small.
c. Lazy S-ing Motion—Performance of AutoTrac
seems very sluggish when trying to stay on the line
and slowly wanders from side to side.
d. Lazy Line Acquisition—AutoTrac appears
sluggish during line acquisition and the tractor
remains off to one side of the line for a long time
before getting lined up.

g. Aggressive Curve Track Performance—AutoTrac
exhibits rapid and high frequency corrections in
Curve Track mode, resulting in a tight S-ing pattern
or tracking to the inside of the desired path.
3. Access the Advanced Settings page on GS2.
4. ATI Advanced Settings Parameters.
a. Line Sensitivity Heading: Determines how
aggressively AutoTrac responds to heading error.
Higher Settings: Result in more aggressive
response to vehicle heading error.
Lower settings: Result in less aggressive response
to vehicle heading error.
Range: 50 to 200.
b. Line Sensitivity Tracking (Lateral Gain):
Determines how aggressively AutoTrac responds
to off-track (lateral) error.
Higher settings: Result in more aggressive
response to vehicle off-track error.
Lower settings: Result in less aggressive response
to vehicle off-track error.
Range: 50 to 200.
c. Heading Lead: Determines the impact of yaw
rate (vehicle rate of turn) on tracking performance.
Heading lead acts as a look-ahead parameter and
can be used to minimize over steering. Large
adjustments may result in poor performance.
Higher settings: Result in more aggressive
response to yaw rate.
Lower settings: Result in less aggressive response
to yaw rate.
Range: 50 to 130.
d. Steering Response Rate: Adjusts the rate of
vehicle steering in order to maintain tracking
performance. Increasing steering responsiveness
generally results in better tracking performance.
Higher settings: Result in better tracking
performance but may also cause increased wheel
motion or jittery behavior.
Lower settings: Results in decreased wheel motion
but may also result in worse tracking performance.
Range: 50 to 200.
e. Curve Sensitivity: Determines how aggressively
AutoTrac responds to a curve in the track. This
setting affects performance in curve track guidance
only.

f. Acquire Sensitivity: Determines how aggressively
the vehicle acquires the track. This setting affects
performance while acquiring the track only.
High settings: Result in more aggressive line
acquisitions.
Lower settings: Result in smoother line acquisitions.
Range: 50 to 200.
5. Follow Tuning Instructions—First try to adjust the
settings based on how it was characterized in Step 2.
If familiar with how the settings affect performance,
proceed to the general tuning instructions if desired.
Although the customer’s comfort needs to be taken
into account, try to tune the tractor based on lateral
error on the GS2 and the tracks that tractor leaves
behind. After finding a reasonable set of parameters,
try running the tractor at different speeds to ensure the
settings are still acceptable. Sometimes the settings
that maximize AutoTrac performance are very close to
making the operator feel uncomfortable.

General Tuning Instructions
Adjustment Recommendations:
• Steering Sensitivity—Set at 100 before making
other adjustments – after that make adjustments in
increments of 10.

• Line Sensitivity Tracking—Adjust in increments of 20.
• Line Sensitivity Heading—Adjust in increments of 10.
• Heading Lead—Adjust in increments of 10.
• Steering Response Rate—Adjust in increments of 10.

• Acquire Sensitivity—Adjust in increments of 20.
• Curve Sensitivity—Adjust in increments of 20.
One Value at a Time—Attempt to adjust the settings in
the problem field conditions while AutoTrac is active.
1. Start with the factory default settings. The Steering
Sensitivity value will correlate to the value on the
Guidance View Tap. Attempt to use a value for this
setting that is similar to the conditions in which you are
running (70 for concrete, 100 most conditions, 120
for soft ground). This number may still need to be
modified beyond the suggested settings.
2. While AutoTrac is active in the problem conditions
(speeds, ground, tire setup, etc), increase/reduce the
Line Sensitivity Heading by a factor of 10.
3. If the change in Line Sensitivity Heading is ineffective
at addressing the issue, reset the Line Sensitivity
Heading parameter and increase/reduce the Heading
Lead in the same manner as the previous step.
4. If none of the previous steps were effective reset
the Heading Lead and increase/reduce the Steering
Response Rate in a similar fashion to the previous
steps.
Combining Settings—If the above procedure does not
give satisfactory performance and once you have become
more comfortable with how the parameters change
AutoTrac performance (as detailed in the previous step),
try different combinations of parameters while AutoTrac is
active. The following chart should be used as a reference
and contains suggested values based on various types
of conditions, please note that values may need to be
adjusted beyond these recommendations to achieve
satisfactory performance.
To return all settings to their default values, use the
“Return To Defaults” button provided at the bottom of the
Advanced Settings screen.

Most Common Conditions
1. Excessive Wheel Motion—Adjust Steering Response
Rate first before making any other adjustments. Turn
down this parameter until an acceptable amount of
wheel motion exists. Although it may be possible for
this parameter to be changed independently, you may
need to increase Line Sensitivity Heading and/or Line
Sensitivity Tracking (lateral) gains to compensate for
the wheel motion decrease. Keep in mind that forcing
this value too low may compromise AutoTrac accuracy
because this responsiveness determines how quickly
the system can compensate for off-track error. The
recommended Steering Wheel Speed setting should
be adjusted until there is slightly less wheel motion
than what is considered excessive by the operator.
2. Aggressive S-ing Motion—The two main
adjustments to address aggressive s-ing motion are
Line Sensitivity Heading and Heading Lead. Start
by increasing Heading Lead to enable the system to

100

look further ahead when making corrections. If this
is unsuccessful, the likely cause is overaggressive
Line Sensitivity Heading and this gain should then
be reduced. Forcing this gain low may require an
increase in the Line Sensitivity Tracking (Lateral) gain
to maintain the overall system performance at an
acceptable level.
3. Lazy S-ing Motion—This may be the most difficult
situation to address because the sluggish behavior
can be caused by field conditions or machine setup.
In some cases, tuning the gains may not achieve
the performance desired. Start by increasing Line
Sensitivity Tracking and check performance. If the
system remains sluggish, increase Line Sensitivity
Heading until the system begins to respond more
aggressively. If fine tuning is needed, the Steering
Response Rate can be adjusted accordingly,
increasing this value will make the system more
aggressive.

Tuning Tips, Tricks, and Precautions

• High Speed/Loose Soil Conditions

- Tip 1: The main goal with AutoTrac is to minimize
off-track error. In many conditions the best results are
obtained as the production system is currently tuned
with the default settings.
- Tip 2: It has been demonstrated through testing that
increased Heading Lead when operating at higher
speeds, greater than 11 km/h (7 mph), improves
AutoTrac stability.
- Tip 3: Loose soil has a tendency to decrease the
ability of the machine to steer when necessary,
thereby decreasing performance. To counteract this
issue increase the Line Sensitivity Heading.
Potential tradeoffs associated with increasing Line
Sensitivity Heading are:

•

1. In some conditions the increased Heading Lead
can lead to higher frequency instabilities.
2. Line Sensitivity Heading is used for line acquisitions
as well as tracking on line. Therefore, increasing Line
Sensitivity Heading can affect line acquisitions.
When using AutoTrac to cross previous rows
- Tip 1: In these circumstances it is common to
experience excessive and repeatable side to side
motion. Increasing Line Sensitivity Heading and
Heading Lead can help reduce the vehicle motion.
- Tip 2: In extreme cases, Differential Lock may be
required in addition to the above tip to achieve
satisfactory performance.
NOTE: When increasing Line Sensitivity Heading and
Heading Lead, Line Sensitivity Tracking may need
to be reduced to prevent excessive wheel motion.

Torque values listed are for general use only, based on the strength of
the bolt or screw. DO NOT use these values if a different torque value or
tightening procedure is given for a specific application. For stainless steel
fasteners or for nuts on U-bolts, see the tightening instructions for the
specific application. Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel type lock nuts
by turning the nut to the dry torque shown in the chart, unless different
instructions are given for the specific application.

Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always
replace shear bolts with identical property class. Replace fasteners with
the same or higher property class. If higher property class fasteners are
used, tighten these to the strength of the original. Make sure fastener
threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement. When
possible, lubricate plain or zinc plated fasteners other than lock nuts,
wheel bolts or wheel nuts, unless different instructions are given for the
specific application.

“Lubricated” means coated with a lubricant such as engine oil, fasteners with phosphate and oil coatings, or M20
and larger fasteners with JDM F13C, F13F or F13J zinc flake coating.
“Dry” means plain or zinc plated without any lubrication, or M6 to M18 fasteners with JDM F13B, F13E or F13H zinc flake coating.
