How do I engage autoguidance on my Axial-Flow combine?
 

The procedure to engage AFS AccuGuide autoguidance on Axial-Flow 88 Series (5088, 6088, and 7088) and Axial-Flow 10 and 20 Series combines (7010, 8010, 7120, 8120, and 9120) has changed.

Header Resume ButtonFor the following software versions, AFS AccuGuide autoguidance can be engaged by pressing the Header Resume button once (see photo right). This action simultaneously returns the header to the preset cutting height, and engages autoguidance, all with a single button press.

  • Axial-Flow 88 Series vehicle software version 21.1.0.0 or prior

  • Axial-Flow 10/20 Series vehicle software version 21.4.0.0 or prior

Shift ButtonIf your combine is loaded with Axial-Flow 88 Series vehicle software version 21.2 or higher, or with Axial-Flow 10/20 Series vehicle software version 21.4.1.0 or higher, AFS AccuGuide autoguidance can be engaged by a "double-click" of the Shift button. The shift button is located on the front side of the Multi Function Handle (the side closest to the front of the combine - see photo left). To use the Shift button to engage autoguidance, the feeder must be engaged.

The Header Resume button now only serves to return the header to the preset cutting height, and no longer affects autoguidance operation.

How many swaths can the Pro 600 hold at one time?
 

When loaded with version 25.* Autoguidance software, the Pro 600 can hold 2000 swaths at any one time.

These swaths may be any combination of Heading, Straight, Circle, Curve, Spiral, or Field Swath patterns.  Once this limit is reached, swaths must be deleted from the display (DATA MANAGEMENT > DELETE) before additional swaths can be created.

Can I use guidance lines from a Trimble Autopilot autoguidance system in my AFS Pro 600 display?
 

Yes!  You can import guidance lines from Trimble Autopilot system into the Case IH AFS desktop software (or other compatible software, such as Ag Leader's SMS), then export the lines using the "Case IH Voyager 2" file format.

You can also import guidance lines from your AFS AccuGuide system into the desktop software, and export them in the "Trimble FMD/EZ-Guide 250/500" format for use in a Trimble Autopilot system.
