On newer tractors, SteerCommand Z2 uses the CANbus or similar, so all factory fitted components are used. On older machines or ones that are not steer ready, it can use a hydraulic valve.
What is the most striking detail of your system?
Full farm solution with user friendly interface and split screen on InCommand 1200. Split screen allows user to see Isobus UT screen and map screen at the same time, or cameras and map screen et cetera.
How is it fitted?
Usually dealer installed and calibrated. Can be fitted in 2-4 hours if done properly (cables routed correctly and out of sight). Hydraulic valve installs will take longer.
Can it be fitted on pre-installed or factory fitted vehicle components?
Yes, on newer tractors, steering is usually done via CANbus or similar so all factory fitted components are used. With other steer ready setup the system can directly connect to pre-installed valve and sensors.
Can you take the system to another vehicle?
Yes, you can easily transfer the InCommand display, the GPS 7500 receiver and the SteerCommand Z2.
What happens if satellite or correction signals lack or fail?
StableLoc technology transitions from RTK to EGNOS and back again. How long it lasts is user defined depending on how much compromise in accuracy customers are willing to accept to keep moving. No subscription needed, free or otherwise.
What patterns are available?
Straight AB, Identical Curve, Pivot, SmartPathTurnPath, FollowPath (CartACE) and Boundary Guidance. Tramlines, Access Paths and Pattern Grouping are available within some guidance patterns.
How often and at what costs is the software updated?
Usually 2-3 updates per year for steering and displays. No charge for these. Displays connected to internet and AgFiniti will be able to update firmware in the same way your phone does. This will very easily provide you with the latest and greatest functions and features.
Which licenses/unlocks are available and at what costs?
- AgFiniti
A free AgFiniti license, www.agfiniti.com, will allow remote control of the display, data transfer between displays and cloud, and background satellite maps. An AgFiniti subscription (single license per farm) will allow usage of full connectivity tools between display, AgFiniti Cloud, AgFiniti Mobile App, and live data sharing when displays have DisplayCast unlock. - InCommand 800
