By autosteering along a guidance path, parallel to the combine’s previous pass, Ag Leader’s CartACE system keeps the grain cart in the correct unloading position.
real time, between two or more of its InCom- mand terminals via an internet connection. While the close proximity of the two vehicles would allow a radio signal to be used, the in- ternet set-up is already up and running on the
terminals, simply requiring only an unlock on the display. It’s operation is as straightforward as its set-up. Basically, the system creates a new guidance pattern, which Ag Leader calls FollowPath. To
do this it uses the mapped data from the com- bine to make a new guidance line, which it off- sets to centre the grain cart under the com- bine’s auger. The combine doesn’t need guidance to do this.
Danie Bester says unloading is now a much less stressful experience for both the combine and grain cart operator.

Autosteering the grain cart makes it easier to unload in dusty condi- tions and at night, removing the worry about spilling grain.
