Installation Instructions

Overview

AutoTrac Universal system requires the GreenStar system to operate. The two systems consist of the following components:

GreenStar

Receiver

Processor

Display

Harness

AutoTrac Universal

AutoTrac Universal Steering Wheel

Shaft Bushing

AutoTrac Universal Harness

Anti-Rotational Device

The GreenStar System

This system consists of a receiver, a processor, and a display, connected by a harness. On the new GS2 system, the display and processor are combined into a single unit. The GreenStar system is the backbone for many processes such as recording harvest yields, setting planter and chemical application rates, and mapping acres covered. Because the GreenStar system is utilized by so many different processes, it is

sold separately from the AutoTrac Universal Steering Kit. Installation of the GreenStar system is dependent on the vehicle it is being installed on. Newer John Deere vehicles come with the harness already installed.

AutoTrac Universal System

This system is an easy-to-install guidance system that works similar to the integrated system, but instead of directly controlling the hydraulics that steer the machine, the AutoTrac Universal system turns the steering wheel, guiding the machine using the same mechanisms that a person would.

Because AutoTrac Universal isn’t integrated into the steering system:

It is compatible with a large number of different machines. See your John Deere dealer for a list of approved platforms.

Accuracy is affected by wear on any part of the steering system.
