Zusammenfassung:	A rear axle center (RAC) locating system may include a tractor and a RAC location acquisition unit. The tractor may include a rear axle having a center, a global positioning system (GPS) antenna offset from the rear axle, and inertial measurement units. The RAC location acquisition unit may include a processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to direct the processing unit to determine a geographic location of the GPS antenna based upon signals received by the GPS antenna and determine a geographic location of the center of the rear axle based upon the geographic location of the GPS antenna and combined data from the inertial measurement units.
