FIELD PREPARATION
SETTING OVERLAP
An automatic delay or advance can be configured to enable and disable
planter sections when approaching or leaving an area by setting a Run In/
Run Out Overlap or Skip and a side-to-side overlap. A distance is entered in
inches/metric to enable this feature.
RUN IN OVERLAP
A Run In Overlap sets the distance (inches) to automatically delay section
shutoff when a planted area is entered.
RUN OUT OVERLAP
A Run Out Overlap sets the distances (inches) to automatically turn on
sections before a planted area is exited.
RUN IN SKIP
A Run In Skip sets the distance (inches) to automatically shutoff sections
before a planted area is entered.
RUN OUT SKIP
A Run Out Skip sets the distance (inches) to automatically turn on sections
after a planted area is exited.
SIDE-TO-SIDE OVERLAP
When entering an angled headland, a side-to-side overlap defines the
percent of overlap to occur when the angle is crossed. A percentage
adjustment between 50% to 100% in increments of 10% is allowed. At
100%, the shutoff and turn on point is calculated as each section reaches
the angle. At 50%, the shutoff and turn on point is calculated as each
section middle crosses the angle. ( Figure 29 ) illustration depicts a planter
configured as one entire section with a 50% and 100% overlap.
