Auto-Guide allows you to work day and night with all sizes of implements and will show you significant savings on fuel, fertiliser, seed and chemicals - not to mention your time. Challenger tracked tractor owners can now increase operating speeds, reduce overlap and minimise underlap economically.

Thousands of farmers around the world are adopting satellite-positioning technology to significantly increase their productivity and profitability. By utilising this technology, Auto-Guide allows farmers to work more acreage each day with pin-point accuracy and achieve levels of effiency they have never experienced before.

Maximise Use of Inputs

Using Auto-Guide virtually eliminates skips and overlaps. The number of rows per field is optimised and input costs of labour, fuel, machinery, chemicals and seeds are greatly reduced. A much higher return on capital investment is achieved because tractors can now operate accurately, 24 hours a day.

Tractors can be operated accurately at higher speeds during the hours of darkness or in undulating fields. Hands-free steering reduces operator fatigue with much less stress than operating with foam markers or lightbar systems. The hands-free system allows an operator to spend more time monitoring and improving the performance of the implement.

Auto-Guide is integrated through the MT700/MT800 Series Intellitronicsª network, and monitored through the Tractor Management Center (TMC) and the Auto-Guide display screen.

Auto-Guide leads the industry for accuracy levels, correction source, operator display and ease of use. It provides the performance and capability of high-end after-market guidance systems with the value and reliability of a fully integrated Challenger solution.
