7 Fields Field Basics
Field Basics
A field is an item you create in the Run screen that represents an area of land. A field can contain one
or more boundaries (perimeters) (or no boundaries). Information associated with each field
includes:
l Boundaries, guidance lines and patterns for steering assistance
l Landmarks such as points, lines and area features
l Tasks
l Coverage information recorded during field activities when logging is activated
l Attributes such as Clients and Farms
To edit and refine boundaries, guidance lines and patterns, and landmarks, open the Field Manager
(see Field Manager, 61).
Boundaries
The perimeter around your field is a boundary. A boundary line begins when you tap a button to
record the start of your boundary. After driving the length of the boundary, you tap a button to
stop recording the path of the boundary. For more information, see Boundary creation (Run
screen), 248 and Boundary editing (Field Manager), 249.
Guidance lines and patterns
With a steering assistance feature, your vehicle can be set to drive on guidance lines and patterns.
This improves the accuracy of planting, applications and harvesting. The types of lines are:
l AB line: A straight line that begins at point A. After driving the direction of the line path, you
end the line at point B. See AB guidance line creation (Run screen), 251.
l A+ line:A straight line that you begin with point A and choose the direction you want the line
to draw.
l Curve: A curved line begins when you tap a button to start recording the line path and then
drive in a curved direction. The line ends when you tap a button to stop recording the line path.
See Curved line creation (Run screen), 252.
The types of patterns are:
l Headlands: An area you can create by recording your beginning point and stopping the
recording when you are finished. You have the option to create an infill pattern of straight or
curved lines. See Headland and infill pattern creation (Run screen), 253.
l Pivots:A circular area you create by recording your beginning point and stopping recording
when you are finished. See Pivot pattern creation (Run screen), 258.
