Challenger has released the AutoGuide 3000, the next generation of output-enhancing automatic guidance solutions and a complete satellite-assisted steering system.
AutoGuide 3000 is a new, integrated and affordable system that is designed to meet a growing customer demand for guidance systems and provide agriculture professionals with the highest levels of accuracy. It will be available later this year for use in Western Europe on MT700D and MT800C tracked tractors as a factory-installed option that can also be retrofitted to existing machines. This will allow Challenger to offer guidance and auto-steering as a turn–key solution thatis ready for work immediately without need for further anciallaries.
AutoGuide is a well-proven output-enhancing system that results in significant increases in productivity by reducing overlaps and misses as well as relieving stress on operators who can concentrate on improving quality and work the machine faster. Alert operators are also safer and more efficient drivers.
