Steering systems for the single axle UX Super models
AutoTrail axle steering
The optional AutoTrail axle steering provides the driver with the utmost comfort and ensures an especially smooth boom ride and high stability. The track-following capability, particularly when in the reversing position, is outstanding. This steering of the axle is also possible in the folded-in position.
“When the wheels are turned in the field, hardly any steering forces are transferred to the booms. Therefore the steering is continuously active in the field – even when on a straight run. Then if the tractor steers, the wheels of the sprayer are immediately also steered. How smoothly this happens we were able to see during operation. It didn’t matter whether we drove fast or slowly, nothing wobbled on the boom when turning.” (”dlz agrar magazine” – Test report “Safe in the track“· 06/2011)

Clever AutoTrail steering
With steering angles of 28°, the steering axles also negotiate tight bends with ease.
AutoTrail steering ensures an intelligent, track-true steering behaviour and can be easily calibrated for any tractor type. The AutoTrail steering systems can be activated at any time and can be oversteered using manual readjustment on slopes. Especially helpful in narrow field entrances is, with the Auto-Trail steering, the ability to activate the steering even with the booms folded.
Slope compensation for AutoTrail steering
1. Slippage downhill with the slope compensation deactivated
2. Activated slope compensation of the AutoTrail steering
AutoTrail steering on the UX Super is fitted with fully automatic slope compensation as standard. As the steering angle, depending on severity of the terrain, has to be possibly adjusted, the intensity of the setting can be altered at any time via the joystick.
