IntelliAxle Steer Assist utilizes advanced algorithms to automatically adjust steering sensitivity based on speed and load conditions. This means that as the vehicle moves faster, the steering becomes more responsive, allowing for precise maneuvering in tight spaces. Conversely, at slower speeds, the steering is optimized for greater control and stability. The IntelliAxle Steer Assist system also has independent rear suspension, which effectively absorbs shocks from the roughest field and road conditions. This design enhances ride comfort and significantly reduces operator fatigue during long hours of work in the field.
The independent rear suspension provides smoother steering inputs and reduces the effort required by the operator. The independent rear suspension further contributes to a superior ride quality, absorbing shocks from rough fields and creating a more comfortable ride experience and less operator fatigue during long working hours. Its torsion axle design effectively absorbs shocks encountered in rough terrain, enabling faster cutting speeds and improving overall performance.
The rear-wheel steer assist system enhances maneuverability both in the field and during transport, offering operators a more responsive and precise handling experience. The W200 Series incorporates an electrohydraulic, proportionally controlled rear steering system that delivers tighter steering and improved control at higher speeds.
This axle design enables in-field working speeds of up to 27.3 km/h (17 mph) and transport speeds of up to 38.6 km/h (24 mph).
The smooth, fluid steering allows operators to maintain complete control of the windrower, particularly during sharp turns and challenging field conditions. Operators can easily adjust the steering sensitivity through the CommandCenter™ display, tailoring it to their personal preferences and the specific demands of the field.
The steer assist system offers three distinct modes of steering assistance based on the machine's speed:
