2025 John Deere AutoTrac™ Base

2025 John Deere AutoTrac™

Universal 300

• Automated setup. Simply press the calibrate button, drive a few hundred feet and the software calculates the right settings for your equipment

• Smaller and quieter with a more comfortable steering wheel

• Dust and moisture resistant for use with an open station tractor

Features may include:

The AutoTrac Universal 300 is compatible GreenStar™ 2 1800 and 2600 Displays, GreenStar 3 2630, and Gen 4 4240 and 4640 Universal Displays. It is compatible with StarFire™ 6000 and StarFire 3000 Receivers. The AutoTrac Universal 300 is not compatible with the original GreenStar display.

AutoTrac Universal 300 is approved on over 600 different equipment platforms and is compatible with many agricultural vehicles with steering systems in good mechanical condition.

The benefits of the AutoTrac Universal 300 over the AutoTrac Universal 200 include:

• Improved on-track line performance

• Weather-resistant design (open station approved)

• Faster line acquisition

• Improved diagnostics

• Easy-to-use calibration for quicker setup

NOTE: AutoTrac Universal 300 has a different algorithm and requires calibration. Entering the same settings as found in the AutoTrac Universal 200 could result in poor performance.

As equipment gets larger and margins tighter, accuracy of in-field operations and input placement is more critical than ever.

When making a pass in a field, traveling from one end of the field to another, the position accuracy of the return pass is critical. Pass-to-pass accuracy means the planter guess rows will be accurate and subsequent passes are less likely to result in crop damage.

Repeatability defines how accurately the receiver calculates its position over a relatively long time window.

AutoTrac™ assisted steering system greatly increases operator productivity by maintaining consistent accuracy and efficiency. Operators remain more alert while they are in the field and are able to focus on implement settings and varying field conditions. AutoTrac also allows operators to confidently create evenly spaced rows past sunset, as well as in rain, dust, or fog.

AutoTrac also improves operator comfort as the operator has time to concentrate on implement tasks.

As tractors and field equipment become larger and heavier, there is a growing concern about soil compaction. Heavy equipment and tillage implements can cause damage to the soil structure. Soil structure is important because it determines the ability of a soil to hold and conduct water, nutrients, and air necessary for plant root activity.

By using AutoTrac, operators can optimize the number of passes and reduce compaction. Additionally, the operator can confine traffic between certain rows and avoid compacting the row area.
