Flexible Autosteering for Every Farmer

Wheelman keeps your vehicle on path within 4-6" so you make fewer passes, and reduce input costs. Wheelman Flex is portable and lets you switch easily between vehicles. So now with one device, you can till, spray or plant.

Wheelman Flex was designed to make each season hassle-free and efficient by reducing your input costs and labor hours. It will keep track of your progress on each piece of equipment with the Whirl Autosteering App, which knows where you left off so you can farm more efficiently.

To move Wheelman Flex from one vehicle to the other, simply remove it from your steering wheel and use the universal DIY Flex Kit to install it on your next vehicle. Then, follow the recalibration process and you’re done! In less than an hour your Wheelman Flex is in the field and ready to use.

Download the free Whirl app to your mobile phone or tablet (iOS or Android) to configure and operate Wheelman.

*Wheelman precision levels are stated in inches of cross-track error as reported and logged by the Wheelman steering system while following an A=B guidance line at a speed between 3 and 10 mph under ideal conditions with a well-maintained, standard tractor. This precision level is a depiction of the ability of the system to steer to a guidance line and does not reflect either the absolute accuracy of the position or pass-to-pass accuracy that will vary due to time delay between passes.

Maximum speed of 12.4 miles/h (20.0 km/h) for non-RTK GNSS
Autosteering Sensitivity settings will also limit how fast your tractor can autosteer. The Sensitivity value is normally set around 7, but different vehicles with different implements may require a different value. If going too fast, Wheelman will disengage autosteering, per the following table.
