Accuracy

The overall Swath Control system accuracy is dependent upon many variables.

Swath Control System Accuracy = GPS Signal Accuracy + Machine and Implement Setup + Display Setup + Field Conditions + Product Rate.

It is important to:

  • Ensure Machine and Implement are set up properly (according to manufacturer's operators manual).
  • Ensure the implements’ wear parts are in good working condition and correctly spaced.
  • Understand how field conditions and applied product rate affect machine dynamics.
  • Ensure GPS Receiver went through a warmup period upon start-up to ensure Swath Control performance.
    • As the GPS Accuracy increases (SF1, SF2, and RTK), Swath Control reaction accuracy will also increase.
    • GPS shading (such as trees or buildings) affects Swath Control accuracy.
  • Ensure Swath Control settings, Machine, and Implement dimensions are set up properly in the display.
