FreeForm pattern
Using the FreeForm pattern, you can create non-symmetrical guidance paths in fields that have
irregular shapes. FreeForm combines these patterns:
l Straight line guidance segments
l Curved guidance segments
With this combination, you can use the FreeForm pattern to create circular spirals or guidance lines
with curved and straight line segments for irregular-shaped fields as well as rugged topographics.
Unlike the other patterns where the next swath is repeated, you must drive and record all paths.
