AutoFarm Implement
Steering Systems
The world's first
implement steering
system, AFTracker -
puts GPS precision
where it's needed
most, in the
ground or in the seedbed. This extension of RTK AutoSteer actively
steers both the
vehicle and the imple-
ment to minimize yield loss caused by implement drift in uneven
soil conditions, sidehills and
contours.
Product Options
HJV Equipment has
installed and
calibrated more than
30 AFTracker
implement steer
systems in Eastern
Canada and
Michigan. Our first system – installed in 2006 – utilized the Orthman
steering coulters
and was mounted
on a 6-row potato planter.
More recently, we
have been able to
integrate the
AFTracker system
onto planters that
already have a
steering axle.
This eliminates the need for the steering coulters and mounting arms that
are part of the
standard AFTracker
package.
Regardless of your
specific needs, we
can design and
integrate an
AFTracker steering
solution that will
meet
your needs.
The
Acura Trak Guidance
System
featuring implement
guidance built in a
tractor 3-point hitch was developed in 1987. This solved the problem of
cultivator
damage to crops with cultivation possible using 16 rows at speeds of 8
MPH .
Producers are also still using this sub-inch accuracy today in bedding,
strip till,
cultivation, and
keeping implements
accurate behind
tractors
steered with GPS.
Why Acura Trak?
- Implement
“Tail-Out” is
eliminated by
lengthening and
shortening the 3-point lift arms of the tractor. This is accomplished by
movement of the
Acura Trak crank
arms
as the tractor moves from the center of the row. Thus, the tool bar, when
properly stabilized,
is always 90 degrees
to the row and the working tools are centered.

Implement guidance
wouldn't work if the
implement moved and
didn't trail
properly. To solve
this problem and
make the implement
stable and trail
properly, the
Sunco Stabilizer
was designed and
produced. It
features unique coil
spring down
pressure and easy
field adjustments
with heavy duty
construction to
handle today's
biggest equipment.
To keep implements
trailing properly
behind tractors
equipped
with GPS steering,
the Sunco Stabilizer
is a must.
