CONTROL METHOD FOR AN AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR AND AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

Control method for a tractor (1) having a TIM control unit (7) that is designed to be electrically connected with an implement (2) and/or a with navigation system (8) through respective buses (9,10) and is designed to allow bidirectional exchange of control data; said TIM control unit (7) being designed to perform a Tractor Implement control Method for acting on electro-mechanical unities of the tractor and controlling tractor functions and steering automation based on signals provided by the implement (2) and/or navigation system (8). The method comprising the following steps: activating the TIM control and displaying (11) a specific indication (12) when the TIM technology control is active; disabling by the steering control unit (19) the steering automation when the speed the tractor (1) is zero or close to zero by opening a switch (16) supplying power to a solenoid valve (15) of an hydraulic system of the tractor (1), when steering automation is disabled the TIM automation is still active but in a limited manner; sensing the position of the switch and displaying (11) a specific indication (18) of limited steering automation once the solenoid valve is in an open position.
