A USB and auxiliary port are integrated into the radio for the connection of an MP3 player, while Bluetooth connectivity allows for easy phone pairing.
The cab now features additional storage solutions, including elastic straps on the rear of the instructor seat, helping to keep paperwork tidy. An additional net for small items has also been added to the front of the instructor seat to provide ground-level access.
Auto Command (AC) tractors with the SideWinder II console come standard with a tinted rear window; additional protection is provided by an optional integrated rear sunblind.
AC tractors now come standard with the same steering wheel that T8 tractors utilize. This thicker wheel provides operators with a more comfortable and natural grip. The company installed backlit technology on the CommandGrip multifunction handle. Control icons are illuminated with LED lights to make selecting the desired function when working late into the night even easier.
Operators can easily select from a host of parameters mounted on the armrest, and follow guidance paths with greater ease. This larger screen puts tractor functions and guidance information on a single screen, which means there’s no need to fill the cab with multiple monitors.
