LOOK-AhEADS
Look aheads or section control on/off times will be prepopulated in the display per meter type. These numbers provide
a good baseline for starting but should be adjusted in the field if needed. Turn on time is how long it takes the meter to
turn on and start dropping seed when coming out of a preplanted area or boundary. Turn off time is how long it takes for
the seed meter to turn off when entering a preplanted area or boundary. Below is an example of the John Deere Section
Control On/Off Settings.

Field Check – Offsets and Look-Aheads
A field check must be performed to ensure accuracy of the shut-offs. To perform a field check drive in and out of a
preplanted area at your desired planting speed. Dig for seed on multiple rows of the planter. Then follow the instructions
below depending on what is found:
Planter is turning off early and turning back on early by roughly the same distance:
The offsets are too short. Measure the distance from where you would like it to shut off/on and where it did shut-off/
on. Increase the hitch to application point by the distance of the gap/overlap measured in the field. Recheck after
adjustment.
Planter is turning off late and turning back on late by roughly the same distance:
The offsets are too long. Measure the distance from where you would like it to shut off/on and where it did shut-off/
on. Decrease the hitch to application point by the distance of the gap/overlap measured in the field. Recheck after
adjustment.
