If installing or servicing a RTK base station on a tower or
other tall structure, use a certified climber.
If installing or servicing a global positioning receiver mast
used on an implement, use proper lifting techniques and
wear proper protective equipment. The mast is heavy and
can be awkward to handle. Two people are required when
mounting locations are not accessible from the ground
or from a service platform.
Operate Guidance Systems Safely
Do not use AutoTrac system on roadways.
Always turn off (Deactivate and Disable) AutoTrac
•
system before entering a roadway.
Do not attempt to turn on (Activate) AutoTrac system
•
while transporting on a roadway.

Getting Started
Theory of Operation
iGuide is a passive implement guidance system which
allows a machine to be driven in such a way as to keep
the implement on its desired track. It is able to do this
with a StarFire™ GPS receiver on both the machine and
the implement.
The following criteria are required:
Machine receiver (iTC only or SF3000)
•
Implement receiver (iTC only or SF3000)
•
iGuide requires a second receiver installed on the
implement and connected to the machine’s Implement
CAN Bus through the ISO connector. The following items
need to be included:
Hardware Needed:
Constant power harness on machine
•
Front Extension harness
•
Center Extension harness (as needed for long
•
implements)
Rear Extension harness (as needed for tow behind air
•
cart)
StarFire is a trademark of Deere & Company
GreenStar is a trademark of Deere & Company
AutoTrac is a trademark of Deere & Company
Implement Harness(s) for receiver (quantity may vary)
•
Implement GPS Bracket and receiver
•
Compatible only with GreenStar™ 2 2600 display (GS2)
•
and GreenStar™ 3 2630 (GS3)
Software and Settings:
Update StarFire receiver software.
•
NOTE: When updating the receiver software, only
one receiver may be connected to the CAN
Bus while updating the software. Software
updates for both receivers must be performed
at the vehicle receiver location.
Updated GreenStar display software
•

Getting Started
Making Implement Guidance Function
Implement Guidance will work with pull type implements
only.
The following criteria are required:
In iGuide mode, both receivers must have the same
•
receiver level (RTK)
iGuide software installed on the GreenStar display
•
iGuide activation for the GreenStar display
•
AutoTrac SF2™ activation on display
•
AutoTrac and iGuide setup complete (incomplete setup
•
would prevent operator from activating guidance)
Updated StarFire iTC™ software on the implement
•
Implement Guidance is designed to give implement
control for the first implement.
iGuide does not support:
AutoTrac SF1™ Signal Level
•
AutoTrac SF2™ Signal Level
•
Tow Between Air Carts
•
Integral Implements (3pt)
•
Balers
•
Mowers and MowerConditioners that can swing left and
•
right behind the machine (unless using a fixed offset)
Wideswinging drawbar on 9X00T tractors
•
AutoTrac Universal Steering Kit™ (Original or 200)
•
Bedded Crops
•
Standing row crop applications
•
Bedded crop applications (see iSteer if this is needed)
•
Circle Track
•
Original GSD4 Displays
•
GreenStar 2 1800 Display
•
Original StarFire Receivers
•
NH3 Cart behind Air Cart
•
NOTE: Make sure AutoTrac is properly setup and
adjustments are completed prior to using iGuide.
NOTE: iGuide performance is contingent upon the ability
of the machine to compensate for the implement. If
the machine is not weighted properly or slippage is
excessive, iGuide performance may be degraded.
NOTE: It is recommended to always save a backup copy
of AB lines from the data card to your computer.
This best practice will ensure data will be safe in
case of Data Card or Compact Flash Card problems.
NOTE: Always verify implement dimensions are correct
when using the “out of box” dimensions from
the GreenStar display or Apex.
NOTE: iGuide does not support the use of the 7.6
cm (3 in.) extension with the 22.9 cm (9 in.)
antennas on the implement AutoTrac RTK™ radio.
iGuide will support only the 30.5 cm (12 in.) RTK
antenna or the high gain antennas to be used
on the RTK radio at the implement.
NOTE: iGuide will not support reverse mode, this
functionality is exclusive to AutoTrac.
NOTE: iGuide performance is degraded when the
machine is in a "crabbing" condition with the front
wheels parallel or near parallel to the guidance path
and the rear wheels at an angle to the line.
NOTE: Do not mount the implement receiver higher than
4.0 m (13.1 ft.) for transportation purposes.

Accuracy
A GreenStar AutoTrac RTK Assisted Steering System
with iGuide may provide up to a 60% improvement in
implement accuracy versus a GreenStar AutoTrac RTK
Assisted Steering System without iGuide.
Accuracy is measured at the implement and may be
•
affected by various factors, including ground conditions,
implement performance, tractor performance,
ballasting, and speed. The performance of the AutoTrac
CZ76372,00001C9 1906OCT101/1
RTK system with iGuide is contingent upon the tractor’s
ability to effectively locate the implement. Therefore, if
the tractor is not weighted properly or wheel slippage
is excessive, the system’s performance and accuracy
may be degraded.
Stated implement accuracy improvement is the
•
improvement in the total percentage of seed placed
within +/ 5 cm (2 in.) of its desired location, as
measured in field tests.
