Installation of Hydraulic Autosteer on Case IH 2388 Combine
We have (2) 2388 combines with Trimble Ez-Pilot and FM750 displays. The displays seemed to not be working well anymore. We decided it was a great opportunity to try a hydraulic valve from Baraki.

Some things I like about AgOpen

I used this for reference throughout the build but didnt like where they mount the valve
There was a premade hole that I strung my cable through. Power cord is wired into battery power. The round switch is Master cutoff controlling relay giving power display,AIO box and Lock relay. The switch is lit only when main relay is on. I used keyed power so when shutting down nothing is left running. Cables going to valve go out of the cab under and behind master switch.
I mounted the steer engage button in an existing hole on the console(I had to enlarge it). Switch lights up when steer is activated.
Not sure if my valve mount will be rigid enough but we’ll see. As you can see in the picture I had to extend the pressure hose going to the valve. If someone is interested in hose measurements, I do have those available.

Combine is still in the shop getting maintenanced so I haven’t actually tried autosteering yet, I’ll try to post how that goes.
Thanks to all who make this project possible and for those that answered my questions!
