  • Patent number: 9198344
    Abstract: A setup wizard is executable on a controller for a tractor and configured to interact with configuration modules of each implement operable with the tractor. The implements connected to the tractor may be auto detected or manually indicated by an operator. The setup wizard generates an initial series of questions intended to determine the intended use of the implements. The series of questions may be limited to one that requires one of two answers, such as yes/no. Based on the answers to the initial series of questions, the setup wizard may generate still additional questions or begin execution of each of the configuration modules as a function of these answers. The setup wizard may preload settings of an implement, select a portion of the setup screens that need to be reviewed, or provide a visual indication to the operator on the status of each configuration module.

  • Patent number: 8914198
    Abstract: A method for disabling the implement steering system of a towed implement includes monitoring the position of the implement while in transport and if the implement is outside a correctable position, automatically disabling the implement steering system. The method further includes monitoring the speed of the implement with the implement steering system disabled and if the speed remains below a threshold for a predefined period then enabling manual control of the implement steering system.
