The tractor is pulling a 60ft wide implement making a precise turn. The impressive thing is that the turn is done manually by the driver not by the autosteer software.

He definitely knows his stuff. After the turn, GPS take over again, right?

Yes, autosteer via GPS takes over after the turn, our experience is that the autosteer software can't do headlands (turns) properly. So the good thing is that you still need a skilled driver. Personally with the price of farm machinery, I would not be comfortable with a fully autonomous rig rattling across the farm or to lose guidance and drive through my house

Yes, it is a Case Steiger tractor, the air seeder has 60 shanks, each 12 inches apart. (60 rows). Real joy for people to set up and maintain.
