How Does Tractor Remapping Work?

Tractor remapping is a relatively involved practice, but the underlying concepts are simple. Irrespective of whether you're driving a Massey Ferguson 6480, an NH T7 or a brand new Lamborghini Spire, your vehicle's engine is managed by a palm-sized computer that controls everything from fuel injection to idle speeds.

Sometimes called the ECU (engine control unit) or ECM (engine control module) this tiny computer uses pre-programmed software called a ‘map' to monitor and regulate your engine's behaviour.

Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of tractors roll out of the factory with a default map that imposes artificial limits on your vehicle's power and torque. This is because most modern manufacturers need to be sure that their tractor will perform equally well in farming environments as diverse as the Texas Panhandle, sunny Central Europe and the subtropical rice terraces of Southern China.

That means coping equally well in freezing or arid conditions, persistent high humidity and baking hot temperatures.
But if you're farming here in the AUS and you take good care of your equipment, these limitations are probably wholly unnecessary.
Fortunately, your manufacturer's default map can be replaced with software that's been programmed to optimise the way your engine runs; allowing us to recover previously inaccessible reserves of power and torque.

We can also unlock more torque at the lower end of your rev range; allowing you to work at a lower RPM and decreasing overall fuel consumption. You'll also be able to move up and down the field faster, and slow/turn your tractor in higher gears, improving overall drivability and significantly increasing the efficiency of both yard and field operations

Is Tractor Remapping Safe?

We understand that agricultural equipment is a long-term investment. You need it to perform well in the field, but it's equally important that your tractors are fully usable for the duration of their rated lifespan and don't need to be replaced prematurely.

As such, we hand-programme maps for every make and model in our database – taking great care to ensure that we're not pushing your agricultural machinery beyond the OEM's stated tolerances.

Our maps won't have a negative impact on the reliability of your machinery, and we're so confident in their quality that we offer a lifetime guarantee against software malfunctions. We'll also back up your manufacturer's original map on our servers so that you can restore it at any time.
