Kubota introduces WorkSmart Autosteer

Kubota Tractor Corporation has announced the official launch of WorkSmart Autosteer, a precision guidance system built for compact and utility equipment, at Farm Progress Show, which took place this week in Boone, Iowa. The introduction extends technology traditionally used on the company’s large ag tractors to more machines across its equipment lineup.

WorkSmart Autosteer is compatible with select Kubota tractors, mowers and RTVs and is engineered for the specific model on which it is installed. The system supports seeding and planting, tillage and cultivation, hay operations, spraying and spreading, mowing, road grading and orchard and vineyard work. 

Two correction levels are available: SBAS (WAAS) with 6 to 8 in. of repeatable pass-to-pass accuracy and no subscription required; and PPP, which provides 1-in. accuracy for specialty crops and precision applications and is available with an annual subscription. Both system options integrate seamlessly with the company’s user interface and are designed to maintain consistent accuracy throughout field operations.

“WorkSmart Autosteer isn’t about removing the operator from the decision; it’s about helping to remove fatigue and error from the equation,” said Austin Hawkins, senior manager, Technology Sales and Marketing, Kubota North America. “At your command, the machine holds the line, so you stay sharp, cover more ground and still get home with something left for the people who matter most.”

Authorized Kubota dealers can install the system in approximately two hours and provide a training session to ensure operators are confident and comfortable with the technology. The system operates through a WorkSmart Autosteer app, available for iOS and Android devices. App tutorials, calibration guides and operational videos to support ongoing learning and troubleshooting are also available.
