Not to hijack, but...
What's it take to set up autosteer on a 585? Was told by people around here that it was difficult and expensive. Already have an incommand 1200 for yield monitoring, have older paradyme and geosteer receivers although we'd like to replace the geosteer.
The OEM autosteering components in the 500 Series Lexions can be somewhat messy to support, and because of this most guidance companies end up adding their own aftermarket steering components. I'm not sure if Ag Leader would be in this group or not.
The OEM valve is non-proportional which also has an accumulator which needs to be activated either periodically using timing logic or by monitoring accumulator pressure. For operator override, there is a sensor on the steering column which can require some unique logic. Lastly, the angle sensor is located inside the rear steering cylinder, which is easy enough to tie into, but it is prone to failure and quite expensive to replace (typically requires replacing the entire steering cylinder).
We've supported several Reichhardt row guidance kits on these combines using the OEM steering components over the years, which will even integrate with the wiring that goes to the connection at the front of the feeder house. In the cases of machine-side component failures (IE pressure sensor or angle sensor) OEM wiring is circumvented and aftermarket parts are added. |
