Is it possible or has anyone put a star fire auto trac system on a new holland?
Have 2 auto steer ready new hollands as well as john deere and was looking to put dome and screen into a new holland and use auto steer. Currently have 2 star fire systems running on sf2 and it would nice to be able to share the 1 system to the new holland at times.
Does anyone know what parts we'll need and what price if its all possible. Would like to use all intergrated parts not the add on steering wheel motor. Thanks

Anyone know the cost of these bridge links? Have just bought a steer ready NH combine, be ideal to use our JD dome and screen without changing the steering wheel.

Have used a new holland tractor running jd guidance screen and dome. It was running a solsteer bridge link and was very successful. All the auto steer buttons on tractor worked like normal.
Our jd dealer fitted the solsteer link and think it was about £1200 from memory.
Not sure how many or if all jd dealers support this system

We put a solsteer on the fastrac I thought it was in the 2k region 2 yrs ago. They work spot on tho
For that money I’d be happy enough to put the steering motor in, have it anyway on a tractor so it would be easy enough to swap but just thought If I could get a link for reasonable money it would be nice….. could justify it on another tractor but for a weeks combining it’s a luxury. Will make enquiries with JD man as I see they are dealers for the agra one.

I might be wrong but that sticks in my head for some reason but we also had a used screen and changed a dome at the same time so could be getting mixed up with prices . It's our jd dealer that's the solsteer dealer

Solsteer would connect yeild mapping etc not just steering but yes it's a very expensive luxury

Are you going through the NH steering ready option?

I have a atu kit fitted to a 210. Brilliant bit of kit and the accuracy for us on SF1 is great. Even drilling it's bang on and i got stone separating with it and no issues. If I had a steering ready tractor i know I'd have to buy a box and cable worth £3k i think to convert the signal from a JD one to a NH one and connect them together. I asked about this when i bought the kit and know of a farm who had to buy the same thing to fit it into a Claas. This is why i opted for the steering wheel. Just as good as the other i think now i have the measurements and off sets for the dome input into the screen.

well the combine has come with the laser row finder thing which I assume means it had steering valves suitable to take autosteer of some kind, I have 1 JD tractor with factory built in auto steer kit, smaller tractor I have an 1800 screen, 6000 dome and atu 300 I think…. Previously removed it from JD tractor to put on old JD combine and planned to do same for the fresh combine but if my screen and dome can be tied in to the existing system it would save moving the steering wheel and having to brace it on a totally different style of steering column on the NH.

Agopengps running that will be the cheapest option. Could link it into the autosteer valve already fitted or even possibly the canbus system depending on the age of it. You could install a complete Agopengps system running on rtk with a new screen for alot less money than the bridge link option if you fancied abit of tinkering about. Plenty of help available
