WWW.POTATOGROWER.COM 49 BUYERS' GUIDE AgJunction • www.handsfreefarm.com • www.agjunction.com Wheelman Autosteering System AgJunction, the Autosteering Company, introduces Wheelman, a new way for farmers to automatically and accurately steer farm equipment at a price that pays back in just one season for farmers working as few as 250 acres. With precision agriculture, commodity crops can be farmed profitably. Precision agriculture starts with automatically and accurately steering farm equipment to prevent overlap, reduce input, labor, and equipment costs, and increase yields. The USDA estimates that autosteering alone saves farmers $15 per acre each year, but because of cost and complexity, this technology has been out of reach for most farms smaller than 1,000 acres, until now. Wheelman delivers a complete, do- it-yourself autosteering system with a simple design that any grower can order online and install in less than an hour on most equipment. Wheelman is powered by AgJunction's proprietary Whirl software, which makes it easy to automatically and accurately steer a tractor and inform growers about their farming efficiency.

Built on the successful platform of the X6 Premium models with power shift transmission, the new X6 VT-Drive retains the same cab features, front axle and hydraulic system while enhancing overall performance with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and cutting-edge technology. CVT allows the engine and transmission to work together to deliver the right engine power and ground speed to efficiently do any job. The transmission is controlled using the EazyPilot control handle integrated into the right side seat armrest. This solution makes X6 VT-Drive tractors simple and convenient to use across a variety of applications. Equipped with PowerPlus to generate additional power and torque, the BetaPower 4.5-liter engine can deliver up to 133 horsepower.
