TIM SPEED CONTROL controls the tractor
The TIM function defined in ISOBUS allows implements to control tractor functions. In the CARGOS 9000 and 8000 loader wagons with TIM SPEED CONTROL, CLAAS uses the standard to change the forward speed of the tractor depending on the throughput. Torque measurements on the rotor and pick-up provide the basis for precise and efficient control. The speed is reduced at high volumes in the swath and increased at low volumes. The driver is thus relieved of a lot of work, the wagon’s load capacity is fully maximised and the throughput is significantly increased by uniform utilisation of the machine.
CLAAS previously offered this function under the name ICT CRUISE PILOT, but this was exclusively for CLAAS tractors. With the further development to the AEF TIM standard (ISOBUS), the automatic control proven for the CLAAS combination is now available for certified tractors from other manufacturers.
