You can try it if you have ez steer.

Not got any auto steer yet,just wondered if I can put it on

Ez steer is designed to fit anything is it not? If your steering column is like mine (spirit) there’s good metal work inside to mount brackets too. I’ve a steering motor fitted to mine, but it’s not an “ez”

As Matt77 says, ez steer is quite easy to install on every machine. By the way, how much is ez steer in UK?

No idea

Would I need a special bracket to fit it on,

 

[SinisaB]

You can make it by yourself.

 

[Matt77]

I made my own, again it’s not a “ez”

Sorry best photo I could find

Yep, 2 bolts pass through some metal on the inside then the plastic, so good and firm and only 2 holes drilled in the plastic, I did need to take the steering column to bits to do though but that was simple enough, as in take the trim off.

It is Case Electristeer.

It is Case Electristeer.

Yep, was working excellently until couple of weeks ago, it’s got a software bug, waiting on software update.

I think they do supply brackets with most kits, mine did but they weren’t to my liking, I did use them as inspiration and a pattern though.

I will check tomorrow afternoon. What software do you run now?

I believe this is the software level I’m on at the moment, the second pic is what comes up after trying to use it for a bit, it also says it can’t find the receiver once I turn assisted steer on, and it changes to wheel speed with no read out instead of GPS speed.

 

[SinisaB]

All right, I'll check it. To be honest, I've never deal with electristeer but can check software version.

 

[SinisaB]

Do you have 372 reciver?

 

[Matt77]

Do you have 372 reciver?

Yes, 372 with radio on RTK, all running through a pro 700 screen, I had the screen updated but that hasn’t worked, I’m waiting to see if my dealer can get an update for the ecu, I hope so as I brought it from them!! The 372 works fine on my Puma tractor so I’m guessing it’s not that.

Hi Matt,

I did a search on a portal but there is no electristeer at all. I saw on internet that new realise of software is 4.4 something and it could be downloaded from muler web site. Tomorow morning I'll ask friend of mine from CNHI if he can help me.
