18 Operations Row Guidance operation
Row Guidance operation
WARNING – Many large and sudden changes in satellite geometry caused by blocked satellites can cause
significant position shifts. If operating under these conditions, auto-guidance systems can react abruptly. To avoid
possible personal injury or damage to property under these conditions, disable the auto-guidance system and take
manual control of the vehicle until conditions have cleared.
With Row Guidance, the information from existing sensors installed on the combine heads are used
to automatically adjust the combine response to changes in the row position.
Row Guidance is used with the Autopilot system to help center the combine on the crop rows when
they are are not aligned with the guidance line used to plant the crop (caused by planter drift or
environmental damage).
Row Guidance enables you to:
l Increase corn yield through reduced ear loss
l Reduce operator fatigue in difficult conditions (such as down corn, curved rows, long passes
and other poor visibility conditions)
l Operate effectively in fields that were planted using other steering systems or in areas where
the planter drifted
You can operate Row Guidance with:
l Straight lines:You can use either A-B or A+ lines.
l FreeForm patterns: When recording and in corn rows, the Row Guidance sensors drive the
firsts pass. After that, the guidance system uses the previously recorded pass but augments it
with sensor input.
l Curves:When operating on a sharp curve, Row Guidance aggressiveness may need to be
increased for performance. See Row Guidance adjustments (page 422).
