Yes, I had it on my planting tractor last year which was an 8200 and It is on my new 8420 that I will be using for planting this year and also had it on my 9660 STS last year it is one of those things that you may think is a luxury but once you have it you will wonder how you ever got along with out it in my opnion it is great there are a lot of things I would give up before the auto steer but I am going to warn you unless you plant with a track tractor the auto steer will not keep the combine on the row in corn when you plant it looks perfectly straight but it not the combine will tend to wonder a little and you will still have to steer or at least that was my experence but dealer has said my new 8420 with front duals and IlS will drive straighter and not wonder as much so should be better for harvest but for soybeans where you are not following rows in is great I run an 635 flex head and have the auto trac set at 34.5' and it will do it all day long you look at the end of the head and you will swear you are going to leave beans but it never does it is just that close the divider point is actually pulling in beans all the time, this fall I also combined corn that was planted with a T tractor and was able to use auto trac about 90% of the time only on side hills did I have to correct some of the time well I think this post is probally long enough already but if you have any more question fell free to call me at (701)883-4495 Dennis
