If your machine already has a factory-installed hydraulic steering valve and wheel angle sensor, you don’t need a motor mounted on the steering wheel! In such cases, we connect to the machine’s own CAN-Bus network or directly to the hydraulic valve. Since every manufacturer uses different protocols, we create a custom wiring harness for these […]
Unfortunately, only in cases where there is a built-in wheel angle sensor. An example of such a machine is those CAT Challenger tracked machines that are steer ready. In tracked machines, steering occurs through the speed difference between the left and right tracks, usually with two independent hydraulic motors. There is no possibility of physically […]
Technically yes, the AgOpenGPS software and our hardware are extremely flexible. We have provided systems for several quite special projects. The system is open and can be customized freely. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to support custom solutions. In the case of ATVs, the physical steering can be so heavy that even the […]
Practically on any machine! Whether it’s John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Valtra, Claas, Fendt, Steyr, Deutz-Fahr, or Lamborghini tractors, the system fits. Moreover, our system works excellently on older, simpler machines (e.g., MTZ, Zetor, old Fiat or Pasquali), as well as combines and self-propelled sprayers (e.g., Bateman, Evrard).
This is the most important step before ordering! The most reliable method is to remove the tractor’s factory steering wheel and measure the outer diameter of the splined part of the steering shaft, and possibly count the number of teeth (splines) on it. There is a visual, tabular guide on the direct drive motor kit […]
The system is successfully used on numerous 30-50 year old tractors (e.g., MTZ 80/82). Large mechanical backlash is no obstacle; in such cases, instead of 2.5 cm accuracy, the machine will move in a ±5 cm band, which is still a huge help for most operations. We primarily recommend the system for machines with orbital […]
