Trimble’s Autopilot™ motor drive system controls tractors and harvesting machines – regardless of brand – with RTK accuracy, but without the need for hydraulic components.
Simple to install and transfer
The Autopilot motor drive system installs onto the steering column without the need for an AutoSense™ or steering angle sensor, making it easy to set up and quickly move from one vehicle to another.
Automated steering for everyone
Experience Autopilot-level performance across a range of vehicle types (e.g. tractors, combines, swathers, sprayers) without the need for hose installation or special tools.
T3 terrain compensation
T3™ sensors calculate the actual position of the vehicle to help minimize skips and overlaps in areas with rolling terrain, slopes and rough ground.
NextSwath
NextSwath™ 2 end-of-row turn technology automatically guides the vehicle along the best possible path for turning around and approaching the next crop row or swath.
OnSwath
OnSwath™ advanced line acquisition settings helps users customize line acquisition preferences to the vehicle and field operation.
