Measurement Best Practices
• Measure as if vehicle and device are in a straight-line and in the operating position.
• Device dimensions may shift when in operation. Measure implement when engaged with the
ground to achieve the best accuracy.
• Hold tape measure plumb or level in vertical or horizontal directions.
• Measure to the center of the antenna.
• Sections are numbered from left to right while facing in the machine's forward direction.
• Lateral left/right direction is determined while facing in the machine's forward direction.
Terminology Notes
• Vehicle Pivot Point
– the center of the vehicle's non-steering axle
– Example: the center of the rear axle for a front steering vehicle
• Hitch Point / Hitch/Connection Point
– the point where the implement connects to the
machine or the pivot point between implement and machine depending on Hitch Type
– Not all vehicles have hitch points. On these vehicles, the Hitch Point and the Vehicle Pivot
Point will be the same point and the value should be entered as 0 in / 0 cm.
• Guidance Width – the width between guidelines
– May be different than the Application Width or Working Width (total width of all sections).
