Full explanation
Autosteer types: (1) Assisted Steering (with motorized steering wheel — Trimble EZ-Steer, FJDynamics, SmartSteer) — aftermarket, installs on legacy MTZ/JD/Case tractors, UAH 150k–300k [VERIFY] April 2026; (2) Integrated Autosteer (factory-fitted) — on new Western tractors from 180 HP, hydraulic steering, built into the tractor controller. Drive patterns: straight parallel (A-B line), curved (A-B curve), adaptive, pivot (circular), spiral. Benefits: (1) fuel savings 3–5% (fewer overlaps); (2) seed and fertilizer savings 5–8% (precise passes); (3) extended work window (night, dusk, fog); (4) reduced operator fatigue. Ukraine's autosteer adoption jumped after 2022 mobilization. April 2026 estimate [VERIFY]: 30–40% of 500+ ha farms run autosteer in some form. Growing segment — aftermarket autosteer on MTZ-80/82 (FJDynamics, JA-500) — UAH 140k–180k.
