navigator guidance systems offer multiple benefits to
users. The row crop guidance system is available In two

the costly root pruning that can occur without a guidance
system.
Guidance Systems
Offer Multiple Benefits
PENDER, Neb. Automatic
Equipment Manufacturing Com
pany’s line of Navigator guidance
systems offer multiple benefits to
users, including stress-free field
work and reduced implement wear
and tear, according to Automatic’s
president.
Jay Hesse said the Navigator,
which is available in a row crop
system and a cotton harvester sys
tem, is ideal for all sizes of farm
ing operations.
“Farmers with 300 acres need
the Navigator as much as farmers
with 1000 acres,” Hesse said.
The row crop guidance system
is available in two models: heavy
duty 3-point narrow and heavy du
ty 3-point wide. The heavy duty
3-point wide model should be
used on tractors with more than
180 hp, especially on 12-row or
larger ridge-till equipment and
with large 4-wheel drive tractors.
Two custom-made sizes are also
available. The Navigator Guid
ance System also fits John Deere
46-inch tire models and Case IH
46-inch tire models.
When used with a cultivator,
the Navigator eliminates the cost
ly root pruning that can occur
without a guidance system, he
said. It is also extremely helpful
when doing night planting and
cultivating.
“Both models of the Navigator
help farmers plant, cultivate, or
harvest more acres per day,” Hes
se said. “And that’s an important
management technique.”
The Navigator’s innovative de
sign takes a simple approach to
guidance, which makes it ideal for
hired help and inexperienced driv
ers.
The Navigator Row Crop Guid
ance System features many design
advantages including:
• Few moving parts. One cyl
inder, one electro-hydraulic valve,
and eight needle-bearing cam fol
lowers ride on a track of high car
bon steel to provide smooth, fric
tion-free lateral movement, elim
inating wear points.
• Eliminates excessive stress
ness

and pull on hydraulic components
that are designed into other guid
ance systems.
• Versatile enough to work on
pull-type equipment.
• Can be used with or without
stabilizing or steering coulters,
eliminating the unnecessary ex
pense of additional equipment.
• Features an Auto Slope that
utilizes a slope-sensing pendulum
that automatically compensates
for sidehill drift.

provides a tremendous opportuni
ty for us to supply to another
country the kind of agricultural
technology only the United Slates
can provide. This is especially
appropriate at a lime when the U.S

multi-billion-dollar trade deficit,"
said Suchland. “Case is proud to
be a key player in this venture.”
According to materials pre
pared by Trans-Chemical, the
program is designed to expand the
Ukrainian market for U.S. goods,

of the project.
The Axial-Flow combine
design introduced in 1977 remains
a Case exclusive, providing a
gentler, more efficient harvest for
better quality grain and more of it,
according to Gerry Salzman, Case
product manager-combines. “Dur
ing the last few years we’ve con

upgrades in our Case International
combine line, taking an excellent
product and making it even bet
