Outback S3

The newest addition to the Outback family is the Outback S3, which combines the market proven Outback S2™ and the Outback 360™ with the latest development in Crescent GPS receiver technology. Featuring a high-resolution touch screen display, the Outback S3 provides clear easy to read job data and system status information in real time. The electronically integrated Outback Steering Guide™ uses GPS data and the specific job details to display simple heading direction and provide guidance. Although the S3 is loaded with features and the latest technology, it is extremely easy to use. Simply turn the steering wheel to match the direction indicated by the Steering Guide.

Outback eDriveTC GPS assisted steering system extends the functionality of the Outback S3 even more. Once engaged, the eDriveTC uses GPS technology to steer the tractor automatically. As a result it provides more uniform treatments, extends hours of operation, and requires less driver skills. Not only does eDriveTC steer more accurately than humanly possible, it now includes the Tilt Compensation (TC) feature. Tilt Compensation corrects for GPS position errors caused when driving on slopes in the terrain. This compensation is essential for precision applications.

The Outback AutoMate is an automatic boom shutoff product that works directly with Outback Guidance products, such as the Outback S3. Featuring Raven's controller technology, the Outback AutoMate monitors and controls individual sprayer sections to minimize overlaps and skips. It offers up to seven section automatic control, manual section control, and user adjustable section overlap. Machine and rate controller specific interface kits will be available for a wide variety of vehicles and applications. Given the increased cost of herbicide and fertilizer, the Outback AutoMate drastically reduces waste and offers a quick return on investment.
