7.3.4 Machine Geometry

Machine Geometry is a description of the machines geometry that is supplied to the TC when connected. It is then used by the TC to predict where to turn off sections and where to change rates.

Information is entered regarding the geometric location of the machine in relation to the tractor.

  1. Working Length — Advanced setting for tractors equipped particular data parameters.

  2. Connector — Type of hitch device.

  3. Connector Offset X — The distance from the tractor connection point to the rotation point of the machine (in the direction of travel). Units are given in meter (m).

  4. Connector Offset Y — Compensation for any canting. Units are given in meter (m).

  5. Tine Coulter Assembly Length — The length of the entire sow frame from the first coulter to the last.

  6. Working Center Offset X — Distance from the rotation point to the last coulter.
