Follow GPS Mode: This mode causes the hitch to seek
the GPS guideline you are following. For example, if you
drive right of the
guideline, the hitch
will move left to com-
pensate.
In follow GPS mode,
use the Outback® S as
normal. You can
establish a guideline
using either straight or
contour guidance.
Simply drive the trac-
tor near the guideline,
and the Hitch will
position the hitch pin
directly over the line.
Note: When operating with the Hitch in follow GPS
mode, the Outback® S and 360 use the actual hitch
pin position for contour guidance logging and applica-
tion mapping.

Match Tracks Mode: This mode is for driving through
standing crop in side-hills and curves. For example, when
the tractor leans left on a side-
hill, the hitch adjusts right so
the implement tires don’t dam-
age the crop. The amount of
adjustment is proportional to
the measured tilt of the tractor.
The sensitivity of the slope
compensation may be adjusted
using the LEFT/RIGHT
ARROWS, as you drive
through the standing row crop.
Likewise, when following rows
around a curve to the right, the
hitch adjusts left to minimize
crop damage. The amount of
adjustment is proportional to
the sharpness of the turn. The
sensitivity of the curve compen-
sation is adjusted in the HITCH
CALIBRATE setup menu.
Note: When operating with the Hitch in match tracks
mode, the Outback® S displays MATCH TRACKS
and does not provide driving guidance. The
Outback® 360 operates as normal and records the
GPS antenna position for application mapping.

The operation of the Outback® Hitch is quite simple.
Turn it on, activate the tractor hydraulics, select the desired
MODE, press RUN, and the rest is automatic.
Note: As a safety feature, the tractor must be travel-
ing faster than one mile per hour before the RUN but-
ton can enable active hitch control.
Manual Mode: This mode allows the operator to position
the hitch pin at any desired offset using the LEFT/RIGHT
ARROWS. When operating with the Hitch in manual
mode, the Outback® S and 360 operate as normal. All
functions of the S and 360 are affected by the presence of
the hitch.
