JD's what does Auto Trac ready mean?

[Hereward]

Looking at used tractors, lots of the JD's say AutoTrac ready, what does this mean though, do they just need a screen fitting to do autosteer or just an activation code? Or does it just mean the wiring harness and steering orbital is fitted?

TIA.

It means they can charge more money as well, its probably 8k extra.

30 series and older will be wired and have the steering valve on so will need an extra screen and receiver
R series might just need an activation code

Now Then..
As I recall, 30 series and most early R series would need a screen and receiver, later R series just need a receiver. All would need activation codes.

AutoTrac ready means you can plug & play with the right screen and unlock codes. It will have the steering valves, wheel sensor and wiring in place already.

If you have a autotrac ready deere , can a trimble receiver and screen be fitted or does it all need to be john deere ?

Autotrac ready means it has a steering valve and some wiring including a wheel angel sensor. So you can fit what system you want to it

Just make sure it is not only "greenstar ready" - then it's only wiring and not really much help.
