Levels of Accuracy
You can choose your level of hands-free steering accuracy. Choose your signal supplier. Upgrade your Auto-Guide accuracy level to meet the demands of your operation.
The Sub-Meter System: Decrease overlap and skips.
The Decimeter System: Ridge till, zero till, controlled traffic, accurate spraying and spreading.
The Centimeter System: Eliminate guess rows, cultivate, band spray, lay sub-surface drip tape.

All of these systems can be upgraded without removing or replacing original hardware. No other manufacturer offers all three levels of accuracy and gives you control over which signal provider to use.
Choose from the five hands-free Steering Assistª Challenger Auto-Guide options available.
All five Auto-Guide systems utilize an innovative Dynamic Measuring Unit (DMU). The DMU measures and adjusts for the movement of the tractor across the field, even when pulling implements under rough, uneven field conditions. The DMU has no moving parts, and is based on rugged, solid-state circuitry.
Sub-metre - 10" accuracy Decimetre - 2" accuracy Centimetre - under 1" accuracy

1. Static Accuracy applies to the GPS measurement alone. It does not include additional errors from the steering control system.
2. Dynamic Accuracy is pass-to-pass accuracy of successive passes completed within a 15-minute time frame.
3. OmniSTAR VBS (Virtual Bass Station) - a subscription satellite service.
4. OmniSTAR HB (High Performance) - a subscription satellite service.
5. AGCO RTK (Real Time Kinetic) – a wireless radio link from local reference station.
6. DGPS (Differential Global Positioning Systems) - all Auto-Guide options are DGPS solutions. |
