Cart Automation

Seamless Guidance and Propulsion Sync

Cart Automation makes it easier for any operator at any skill level to be effective by matching the cart’s heading and speed with the combine. When the grain cart driver is in range [within a 175m long by 55m wide window] of the harvester, they can sync the cart’s direction and speed with the combine’s auger on straight swaths simply by pressing a few buttons. Cart Automation is easy for new operators to learn and use: all they need to do is drive the grain cart in range, then engage the propulsion and steering sync. The tractor automatically lines up with the combine unloading auger, so the combine operator does not need to constantly direct traffic. Then, the operator simply steers to disengage Cart Automation and drives to the unload point. Cart Automation is proven to reduce stressful events for both tractor operators (average 18%) and combine operators (average 12%) across all crops and conditions tested*, compared to manual operation. Streamline communication, reduce operator training time, and keep your harvest operation running in sync with Cart Automation. *Based on internal validation testing. Stressful events were measured using heart rate metrics.
