Row Sensor Offset Setup

NOTE: Use in field, running, and when you observe point is not in center of row.

An offset can be added to the row sensors to change the alignment of the stalks entering the corn head.

    Examples of when changing alignment is needed:

  • The planted guess row is in the middle of the corn head, and rows have been pushed over by the head. An offset can be applied to "split the difference" so all rows lean, but not as severely as without the offset.
  • Crop divider with a row sensor attached is not aligned with the row. Until mechanical repairs can be made to align the sensor, an offset can be applied to help make up for misalignment.

The sensor offset can be adjusted in increments of 1 in. (up to a maximum of 5 in.) to the left or right of recorded center.

  • Entering a negative (-) sensor offset value causes the combine to drive slightly to the left of recorded center. Example: A display showing "Sensor Offset -2 " causes the combine to drive 2 in. to the left of recorded center.
  • Entering a positive (+) sensor offset value causes the combine to drive slightly to the right of recorded center. Example: A display showing "Sensor Offset +2 " causes the combine to drive 2 in. to the right of recorded center.
