4 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Fendt-JD Bridge. The Fendt-JD Bridge is designed to bridge the communication between a Fendt tractor (Profi Plus) and a John Deere display (2600 or 2630). This allows a JD display to create maps in the John Deere format and also provides straight AB-Line autosteer. The operator used the JD display to create AB-lines. The current position is determined by a John Deere receiver and all this information is used by the Fendt-JD Bridge to create steering instructions for the Fendt tractor. All conditions for autosteer such as minimum speed, steering enabled etc. Must be met by the Fendt system before the autosteer engage option in the tractor can be activated. NOTICE This manual is not intended to replace the manuals for the Fendt tractor or the John Deere system. The operator must read and understand the manuals and instructions of these systems, before using the Fendt-JD Bridge.

5 Installation of the Fendt JD Bridge (8xx and 9xx models) (For 7xx models please skip the next 2 pages) Step 1: Mounting the Fendt-JD Bridge The Fendt-JD Bridge is installed right of the driver seat. Removing the plastic cover, you will find the fuse panel To access the connector for steering, you need to remove the whole plastic cover right to the seat. A torx 25 is used in newer machines. Plastic cover removed.

6 Find the gray 4214 connector and disconnect it. The Fendt-JD Bridge connects here, the other side will not be used. The ground wire (black) should be connected to one of the fuse panel mounts.

Removing the plastic cover from the back column first.

7 Step 1: Mounting the Fendt-JD Bridge (7xx models) The Fendt-JD Bridge is installed right of the driver seat. Removing the plastic cover from the back column first. To access the connector for steering, you need to remove the whole plastic cover right to the seat. Plastic cover removed.

9 Step 2: Mounting the JD Display The mounts for the JD display are NOT part of the Fendt-JD Bridge, but can easily be manufactured/ordered in the average shop. The JD-display may be mounted many different ways. You may use the standard JD mounts or a RAM mount. RAM-270U + 2 * 1.5" balls (RAM-202U) + 4" double socket arm (RAM201U) Step 3: Mounting the JD Receiver The Fendt-JD Bridge does NOT include a standard JD-receiver bracket You want to create a mount which is centered left-right and as far forward as possible on the cab roof.

10 Calibration of the Fendt JD Bridge 2630 & 4640 Displays Step 1: Loading the ISO App Fendt JD Bridges come loaded with a machine specific ISO app. On first startup of a machine with the Fendt JD Bridge installed, the ISO app should automatically begin storing itself on the 2630 or 4640 John Deere display. This can take a few minutes, and the progress is shown on the John Deere display. After this process is complete, the ISO app will be stored in the display, and will load much more quickly on subsequent startups. The ISO app is currently non-functional on 2600 John Deere displays. Step 2: Calibration Page Notice: Offset calibration should only be used when needed. More than likely AGCO machines will perform without offset enabled.

The calibration page is used to calibrate offset on AGCO machines. By pressing the Start/Stop Calibration Mode Button you will engage or disengage calibration mode on the Fendt JD Bridge.

11 The calibration page is used to calibrate offset on AGCO machines. By pressing the Start/Stop Calibration Mode Button you will engage or disengage calibration mode on the Fendt JD Bridge. Calibration mode is indicated by the message Ready to Engage directly below the button. Otherwise, it will say Waiting. Once calibration mode is activated, the user can engage autosteer to begin calibration, which will force the steering to the midpoint for roughly 30 seconds, with progress being indicated on screen. It is highly recommended to do calibration on flat terrain in a wide-open space if possible. Rougher ground or inclines might affect the calibration. Once the calibration completes the offset field will be populated. However, depending on the ground the calibration was done on, this number may need adjusting. There are two buttons beside the offset field, one for increasing the offset, and one for decreasing the offset. It is highly recommended to manually adjust the offset value, even after calibration, to ensure the best offset. In order offset to be enabled, the user must check the Use calibrated offset checkbox. Step 3: Settings Page

12 Machine Type: Ensure that the proper machine type is set. For a row crop tractor select Fixed! Recording Mode: Recording mode adjusts the way work is painted on the John Deere Display. Hydraulics: Hydraulics recording allows for recording to be controlled by the hydraulic selected on the John Deere Display. On Resume: On Resume mode changes recording so that work starts whenever autosteering is resumed. Simply select this mode and select hydraulic 1 one the John Deere display and work will be recorded whenever autosteer is engaged. *Hydraulic 1 must be selected for the On Resume feature to work as intended* Direction: Controls the direction of the machine in relation to the John Deere display. Selecting Forward allows normal operation while selecting Reverse forces the direction to be the opposite of the machine s transmission direction. Step 4: Save/Load Settings On either page, simply press the Save Button to save current settings to the Fendt JD Bridge. The Load buttons load whatever is currently stored on the Fendt JD Bridge to the display.
