John Deere AutoTrac™ on a Challenger MT tractor
Run your John Deere display and StarFire™ receiver in your Challenger MT tractor. Full AutoTrac™ steering with a plug & play Agra-Bridge.
One display for your whole fleet
The Agra-Bridge sits between your Challenger and your John Deere display. The display sees a John Deere vehicle, so AutoTrac™ works just like it does in your green machines — no second guidance system to learn.
- Use your existing John Deere 1800, 2600, 2630, 4240, 4640 or Gen 5 display
- Machine-specific harness — easy plug & play installation
- Add the MTG harness to keep JDLink™ connected
- One display and receiver across your whole fleet
Which kit fits your Challenger?
Pick your model and year. All kits work with your John Deere display.
| Model | Agra-Bridge | CRG with built-in bridge | Receiver mount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Challenger MT A, B | CAT-JD-B | CRG-CAT / CRG+ | — | CAN Bus. Older models (2004, 2005) have specific translator control requirements (see manual). Hardware must be 2019041-04 or newer; software 2479952 or newer. For older models without resume, a momentary ground switch to the blue wire is all you need. |

Questions
Which kit do I need for my Challenger?
It depends on the model and year — see the table above. Each row lists the Agra-Bridge, the CRG option (if there is one) and the receiver mount. Not sure? Call +1 (825) 247-2477.
Which John Deere displays work?
The Agra-Bridge works with John Deere 1800, 2600, 2630, 4240, 4640 or Gen 5 displays and your existing StarFire™ receiver, or with an Agra-GPS CRG receiver.
Can I keep using JDLink™?
Yes. Add our MTG power cable to integrate your JDLink™ modem for data sharing and MyJohnDeere uploads.
Is there a subscription?
Not for the Agra-Bridge — there is no subscription or annual fee. With the CRG you use your own RTK corrections; the CRG+ includes free lifetime RTK corrections from PointOne Nav.
What if I have a problem?
Call us at +1 (825) 247-2477 (Mon–Fri, 8–5 MST). Every Agra-GPS product has a 1-year warranty and unused items can be returned within 30 days.
