Abstract

Field tests were performed with a tractor Massey Ferguson 592T, to which it was installed automatic guidance system EZ -Steer 250 Trimble® for to evaluate the efficiency of the automatic steering system in the field. The paths at the Massey Ferguson 592T is obtained with the use of the guidance system EZ- Steer® linear trajectory and with a differential correction system, 2.2-7.03 cm average errors are reported to the trajectory 7 default. The increase in mean error occurred when changing the speed of 5 km h - 1 to 9 km h -1 and in the case of the circular trajectory errors path ranged from 6 to 10.57 cm with no significant difference statistically (P≤0.05). Treatments that correspond  to paths without differential correction errors introduced up to 90 cm.
