FendtOne Implement Slope Compensation

Keep Your Implement on Track — Even on Slopes

Combat implement drift on rolling terrain or sidehills with Implement Slope Compensation, now available for Fendt Guide on FendtONE-equipped tractors. This smart feature uses the tractor’s built-in IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) — no additional hardware required.

Key Benefits:

  • Automatically corrects for implement drift on slopes.
  • Enhances precision on drawbar or towed implements (not compatible with 3-point hitch).
  • Seamless integration via a simple software unlock.
  • Adjustment appears directly in the “Implement Setup” menu.
  • Deactivates automatically on level ground for optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implement Steering

What is implement steering and how does it help in the field?

Implement steering technology helps control the position and movement of agricultural implements during field operations. Homburg Holland SmartSteer provides steering control and automated headland assistance, while FendtONE Implement Slope Compensation helps correct implement drift on rolling terrain and sidehills. These technologies address different guidance challenges, helping farmers maintain more consistent implement positioning and manage field operations with greater precision.

What equipment and guidance systems are compatible with Homburg Holland SmartSteer?

Homburg Holland SmartSteer works with Ag Leader displays and supports AGCO, Topcon and CNH systems. It connects through an ISOBUS socket and can work with several implement steering configurations, including tractor hitch, wheel, drawbar, sideshift and coulter steering. SmartSteer supports straight AB lines and curved guidance lines. Farmers should confirm compatibility with their specific tractor, display and implement before selecting a system.

How does SmartSteer improve headland turns when pulling a planter?

SmartSteer provides automated headland steering assistance designed to help manage implement movement during turns. When pulling planters, its headland steering function can provide sprayer-like turning behaviour, reducing the need to reverse on the headland. The system can stop steering or automatically centre during the turn and resume steering afterward. This can also help minimize damage to soil and formed ridges during headland operations.

How does FendtONE Implement Slope Compensation reduce implement drift?

FendtONE Implement Slope Compensation uses the tractor’s built-in Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to automatically correct implement drift on rolling terrain and sidehills. The feature works with Fendt Guide on compatible FendtONE-equipped tractors and helps keep drawbar or towed implements aligned. Adjustments are available through the Implement Setup menu, and compensation deactivates automatically on level ground. The feature is not compatible with three-point hitch implements.

Do I need additional hardware to use FendtONE Implement Slope Compensation?

No additional hardware is required for FendtONE Implement Slope Compensation on compatible FendtONE-equipped tractors. The feature uses the tractor’s existing IMU and is activated through a software unlock. Once enabled, operators can access the adjustment directly through the Implement Setup menu. Contact Hanlon Ag Centre’s Precision Ag Specialist in Lethbridge, Alberta, to discuss compatibility and whether slope compensation or another implement steering solution better suits your operation.
