SELECTABLE DISPLAY INFORMATION
The following information may be selected for
display:
Area Per Hour Forecaster
Touch the AREA/HR switch, 4. The “AREA/HOUR”
legend, 1, will display, together with a forecast of the
area that will be worked in one hour, 2, if the current
rate of work is continued.
This forecast is based on the last 5 seconds running
average. The forecast may be in acres (FT), 3, or
hectares (METERS).
The unit of measure, FT/METER, can be changed by
holding the E/M English/metric switch for 3 seconds.
“0” will be displayed whenever the tractor is stopped.
NOTE: If the radar option is not installed, area per
hour calculations are based on axle speed and are
subject to inaccuracies caused by the wheel slip that
may be present.
Area Accumulator
Accumulated area (total area worked), 1, can be
displayed by depressing the AREA switch, 2. Area is
displayed in acres or hectares. “AREA” and “ON”, 6,
will be displayed. Touch the START/STOP switch, 3,
and the word “OFF”, 5, will display indicating the area
counter is shut off. If the 3-point hitch is raised, the
word “OFF” should appear to stop area accumula-
tion. Lower the 3-point hitch to again display “ON”
and begin accumulating area.
NOTE: A remote implement status switch can also
be added to the tractor by use of the purple wire
(CM40) located behind the operator’s seat, under the
floormat. By adding a contact switch to a trailing
implement, the area counter can be turned on and off
by lowering and raising the implement.
IMPORTANT: 3 Point Hitch area counter point must
be set to 99 for the remote implement status switch
system to operate. See Three Point Hitch Position --
Area Counter found later in this section.
English display (acres), designated by “FT” legend,
4, starts to accumulate in increments of 0.1 acres.
When 1000 acres are reached, area accumulation
continues in whole acres. When 9999 acres are
reached, the display will reset to zero.
Metric display (hectares), designated by METERS
legend starts to accumulate in increments of.01
hectares. When 100.0 hectares are reached, area
accumulation continues in increments of 0.1
hectares until 1000 is reached. The display will then
accumulate whole hectares. When 9999 hectares
are reached, the display will reset to zero.
