Autotrac Controller Kit

Has anyone retrofitted the Autotrac Controller kit onto John Deere 6R ?? Any idea of cost??

Is the tractor Autotrac ready? It’s only optional. For retrofitting the steering valves etc later is big money and an ATU universal kit on the steering column is the best value. If the tractor is Autotrac ready it’s a plug and play job. We need more information to be able to answer your question.

Tractor is Greenstar and ISOBus ready but not autotrac ready. I know ATU univeral is the cheaper option however it is also the untidy and puts alot of strain on the steering console when the tractor is fitted with front duals.

I take your point about the front duals putting too much strain on the ATU motor. I should talk to your dealer about that. It might be cheaper to go without front duals and buy wider wheels than go for the retrofit kit! What do you run on the front that is so heavy?

My Autotrac ready tractors work fine with front duals as it’s just a valve control not turning the steering column.

This is a price I received back in 2015 to make a 6130R Autotrac ready:

BPF10346 Power harness £313.25

BPF10390 Roof kit £381.76

BPF10512 Autotrac field kit £2983.21




Labour to fit would probably take 3 days...at Retail = £1809

Thus total = £5487.22 +VAT

Needless to say, I didn't bother and bought a different tractor instead!
