IMPLEMENT GEOMETRY
Physical layout of the implement is required to determine the
position of a channel in the field. Configuring an implement
identifies the hitch type the implement uses, and area the
implement covers. Exact distances are required for physical
layout of the implement. This is important so coverage maps and
section control work properly.
MEASURE X/Y COORDINATES
Stand behind the implement facing the tractor.
X coordinate:
Measure from the hitch pivot point to where the seed is
placed in the ground, e.g. bottom of seed tube, entered as a
negative entry (-X). This measurement should be entered for
each control channel enabled.
Y coordinate:
For each channel determine the center point of the channel.
Use this method:
Find the implement center. This is the point on the
toolbar that is directly behind the hitch.
Determine the distance from the implement center for
the first and last rows or nozzles on the channel.
Calculate the distance from implement center of the
center point of the channel by adding the first and last
row distances and dividing by two.
Distances left of the implement center are entered as
negative numbers (-Y) and to the right are entered as
positive numbers.
For channels that use rows the Y values are
automatically populated, so use the channel center
points to verify the channel setup is correct.
For channels that use nozzles, enter the center point
for reach channel.
