RTK-grade auto-steering retrofitted onto the tractors you already run — six correction sources, four working patterns, an optional smart-implement stack.
The same crooked pass gets re-billed every season — in seed, chemical and diesel.
A manually steered machine commonly re-covers 5–15% of ground on row-crop tillage and planting — invisible from the cab, which is why it survives season after season.
Guidance does not make the tractor faster. It removes the drift: the line is stored, not re-drawn at hour eleven.
Four things the HD818 does, and what each is worth on the ground.

Repeatable centimetre-level passes. The HS-223A tracks every open GNSS band at once, so the fix stays Fixed rather than drifting to Float.
Radio base, NTRIP, SBAS, BeiDou B2b-PPP, Galileo HAS, optional L-Band. Where there is no network, the satellite services remove the base station.
AB lines for open ground, A+ offsets for striped blocks, parallel curves for contours, circular for centre-pivot.
1920 × 1080, 800-nit display, eight-core processor, 8 GB RAM — split-screen guidance, cameras and job records at once.
Four layers from satellite to steering column.
Six routes to a centimetre fix. Which one works depends on where the farm is.



| Source | How it reaches you | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Radio base station | Your own base on a surveyed point, broadcasting at 410–470 MHz | No cellular coverage; fleets working one farm |
| NTRIP | Network corrections over the mobile data link, entered as server / port / mount point | Regions with an established CORS network — the usual first choice |
| SBAS | Free satellite-based augmentation, received directly by the receiver | Wide-area work where sub-metre is enough; no subscription |
| BeiDou B2b-PPP | Precise point positioning delivered over the BeiDou B2b signal | No network and no base station — coverage is regional |
| Galileo HAS | High-accuracy service broadcast within the Galileo signal | As B2b-PPP; availability set by the service operator |
| L-Band optional | Commercial satellite correction subscription, received by the same antenna | Fields beyond any terrestrial network, at a subscription cost |
ISOBUS is a stack, not a feature. The HD818 implements two of its levels — UT and TC-SC.
Also: Steer-Ready. Machines with factory auto-steering prep connect straight through — no hydraulic modification, no added motor.
A straight AB line is right on open ground and wrong on a contour block. The HD818 stores all four, switched per field.
Two points set a reference line; every following pass is parallel to it. The default on open, rectangular ground.
An offset variant that adds a shift to the reference line — for matching a bed, a fence or a previous pass.
For contours and irregular boundaries, where a straight line would drift off the working width.
Concentric passes for centre-pivot irrigation and circular blocks, from a stored centre point.
The HD818 is a retrofit, not a reason to replace a machine.
The HD818 ships as an auto-steering kit. Everything below is quoted separately.






Key functions on one touch, including an AUTO key. Magnetic attachment leaves the cab clean when removed.
Fisheye cameras give an omni-directional view with no blind spots. 1280 × 720P at 25 FPS, 210° horizontal FoV, IP67. An independent module — not part of ISOBUS, quoted separately.
Visualised elevation map with GNSS + INS fusion and single-point slope setup. Single- and dual-channel levellers.
Crop-row detection and density sensing during the growing stage, reducing implement damage to standing crops. 640 × 480 global shutter, IP67.
A sectioned control valve holding the rate on the line and cutting it at the overlap — reducing chemical cost rather than adding a pass.
Plug-and-play with multi-brand implements and automatic section control. Two levels: UT and TC-SC.
