Troubleshooting

ISOBUS functionality is planned for release in 2025.

When will the system be compatible with the ISOBUS?

FieldBee Steering Controller is resistant to heat interference.

Does engine heat affect GPS signal?

Yes, all main components PowerWheel, Steering Controller and Tablet are powered by the tractor battery.

Do you power the system from the tractor battery?

1-10 km/h with good performance ± 2,5 cm; maximum 15 km/h but accuracy can be lower ± 5 cm.

How fast/what speed can you drive for it to work?

Tablet with FieldBee Navigation App works like a terminal. Main functionality:<ul><li>Set up the connection to the WiFi and RTK signal</li><li>Create fields, lines, tasks (operations)</li><li>Work with navigation lines: record, save, move, use the same line for other operations. </li><li>Save information about the field operation: field, machine, crop, amount of material used, covered area etc.</li></ul>

How exactly does the tablet work in the system?

Yes, tilt compensation algorithms uses the 3-axes (pitch/roll/yaw) to correctly adjust the latitude/longitude position.

Do you have 3 axes tilt compensation?

There are 2 ways to assure RTK signal quality. First is connection to the FieldBee Base Station and the second one is NTRIP network option. Radio mode is supported.

How do I get the best RTK signal quality?

Yes the system is required to be mounted on the hood in facing forward.

Do you mount system in forwards direction?

PowerSteer can be installed on almost all tractor models with front wheel steering 2wd and 4wd.

What tractor models does it support?

The system doesn’t produce any sound. In fact farmers are surprised how quiet it is.

How loud is the steering wheel motor/autosteer?

Antenna became steering controller and now has built-in tilt compensation sensor. Easy to install and set up connection to the internet and RTK signal. The autosteer system now has fewer components and is easier to install.

What’s improved in antenna and autosteer?

We recommend mounting the Steering Controller on the hood for better accuracy.

Where should I mount the Steering Controller, on the tractor hood or tractor roof?

This functionality is not available at the moment..
