NEXT VT (change the ISOBUS UI priority when multiple ISOBUS implements) Measurement unit is millimeters (mm) unless stated otherwise. HELP In Help Screen you can see active errors and descriptions and find the ACCESS portal QR code for Operator’s Manual.
- Page 38 Once the system is on AUTO, the top link will move automatically to keep the implement levelled. You can also observe (and adjust) the height of the implement if necessary (you can often find the correct height for the implement in the implement manual). On transport, the Smart Top Link should be turned off for safety reasons.
- Page 39 Smart Top Link is installed in an AGCO Customization studio as an option and covered by one year of factory warranty. All the components are installed on the factory assembly line and tested to be functioning in the installed machine as they should.
