AFS AccuGuide™ Autoguidance Systems
AFS
AccuGuide™
autoguidance systems
from Case IH are designed with the precision
grower in mind and eliminate the need to
steer in open fields, except at row ends.
You focus on the performance of the
implement instead. AFS AccuGuide is
compatible with:
|
-
Magnum™ tractors
-
Steiger® tractors
-
QUADTRAC tractors
-
Axial-Flow® 7010 and 8010 combines
AFS
AccuGuide lets you maintain perfectly
straight rows and return to those same rows
later in the season. Thanks to its GPS
technology you can enjoy control and
accuracy—seed
and material are applied with extreme
precision, saving input costs.
Added benefits. AFS AccuGuide
offers a wide range of productivity and
cost-saving benefits such as:
-
Fewer "skips" and "overlaps"
for more precise planting, fertilizing
and tilling
-
Less compaction for
higher yields
-
Faster field speeds to
reduce your time on the job
-
Reduced operator stress and
fatigue.
Four
levels of accuracy. AFS
AccuGuide systems are accurate at one,
five and eight inches (depending on the
source of the differential correction
signal). For applications requiring more
precision, sub-inch to one-inch
(2.5-cm) accuracy may be achieved using
a Case IH AFS AccuGuide base station.
The base station correction signal
provides superior accuracy and
eliminates subscription costs.
Available now. Dealer-installed
field kits are available for Magnum and
Steiger tractor models.

AFS AccuGuide systems today!
NOTE: AFS AccuGuide provides
accurate steering for field operation in
adverse conditions such as rain,
darkness, dust and fog. However, AFS
AccuGuide cannot detect obstacles or
stop automatically to avoid danger. The
operator must remain vigilant and steer
or stop the tractor to avoid collisions
with obstacles in the field. It is
always the operator’s responsibility to
ensure visibility is adequate to allow
for safe operation of the equipment
under any and all adverse conditions.
The
accuracy of any guidance system is
dependent on satellite communication,
field location, terrain, tractor and
implement condition and setup, system
installation, and calibration. A field
demonstration and trial is the best way
to determine actual guidance system
accuracy in each situation.

EZ-Steer™ Assisted
Steering System
Add an EZ-Steer™ Assisted
Steering System to the EZ-Guide®
Plus lightbar for hands free
steering. EZ-Steer uses guidance
information from the lightbar to
turn the steering wheel for you,
providing one-foot, pass-to-pass
accuracy in most locations.
You'll focus more on equipment
operation and experience less
stress and fatigue. EZ-Steer
system accuracy is suited to
spraying, spreading, tillage,
small grain harvesting and and
broad acre seeding operations. |
 |
Typical
installation
time is less
than 30 minutes
on any approved
agricultural vehicle and
requires only one
wrench, and EZ-Steer
can be moved easily from
vehicle to vehicle. Your
Case IH dealer has
additional vehicle
installation kits
if needed. |
|
Setup takes just
a few minutes
when you use the EZ-Guide
Plus lightbar to input
vehicle dimensions,
supplied with the EZ-Steer
system. Just set your
straight or curved A-B
line on your first
swath. Then turn to the
next swath and press the
engage button to
activate the EZ-Steer
system. To disengage,
press the disengage
button or manually turn
the steering wheel.
If you have an
older tractor, want a
low cost alternative to
auto-guidance or need an
assisted steering system
to round out your fleet,
the EZ-Steer system is
for you. For fully
integrated, high
accuracy auto-guidance
solutions, see your Case
IH dealer. |

EZ-Guide® Plus
Lightbar
The Case IH EZ-Guide®
Plus lightbar system is
the first in the
industry to combine
crystal clear guidance

position. You can put EZ-Guide
Plus to work in field
preparation, chemical or
fertilizer applications
and air seeding, and you
can even hook it to your
combine’s yield monitor
to generate yield maps.
With EZ-Guide Plus you
eliminate skips and
overlaps and reduce
your cost for chemicals,
fertilizer, fuel and
other materials.
Use EZ-Guide
Plus when there is wind,
rain, dust or fog, and
