NOTE: All items and changes are saved under the current machine name.

NOTE: Some ISO implements and John Deere tractors provide offsets. If machine is automatically recognized, some list boxes may be grayed out.

Machine tab (A) and Implement tabs (B) are required to be populated with equipment information. If using a second implement, populate equipment information on Implement 2 tab (C).

Machine Type (D) – Machine type used. For example, tractor, combine, or sprayer.

Machine Model (E) – Model number of machine used. For John Deere machines, model numbers are available from the drop-down list.

Machine Name (F) – Name used to clarify which machine is used. For instance, if there are two 8430s in your operation, machine names may be “John” and “Deere”, or “8430-1” and “8430-2”, or simply “1” and “2”. Settings pertaining to the machine, such as turning radius, turn sensitivity, or dimensions are stored to that name.

NOTE: Machine Turn Radius (G) and Turning Sensitivity (H) are for use with iTEC™ Pro only.

Machine Turn Radius – Distance machine requires to turn without an implement attached and without applying brake pressure. Turn radius (I) is half the diameter measured at center of rear axle of a row-crop tractor or pivot point on tracked and 4WD tractors. For example, 8030 wheel tractors have a minimum turn radius of 6.1—6.7 m (20—22 ft.). Choose a starting number and change as needed for accuracy.

Turning Sensitivity – AutoTrac™ gain setting when machine is in an automated turn. This is adjustable by operator to improve performance (default 70).

Verify offset dimensions correspond to selected machine.

NOTE: Not all recording sources are available for all machines.

Machine Offsets

A - Lateral distance from center line of machine to GPS receiver

B - In-line distance from non-steering axle to GPS receiver

C - In-line distance from non-steering axle to connection point

D - Vertical distance from GPS receiver to the ground

E - Offset Toggle Button

F - Non-Steering Axle Location Drop-down Menu

Select Change Offsets button on Machine Setup page.

Offsets are used to eliminate skips or overlaps due to an offset receiver.

To enter machine offsets:

1. Select input box.
2. Enter amount of offset in cm (in.) using numeric keypad and select enter button.
3. If a lateral offset (A) is entered, select receiver toggle button (E) to move offset right or left of cab center.

If no lateral offset is required, enter zero.

Machine offsets:

• Lateral distance from center line of machine to global positioning system (GPS) receiver.
• In-line distance from non-steering axle to GPS receiver (B).
• In-line distance from non-steering axle to connection point (C). The connection point where tractor connects to implement (drawbar, hitch) except on 2-point pivoting implements (large planter). In this case, measure distance back to pivot point immediately behind the hitch.
• Vertical distance from GPS receiver to the ground (D).

NOTE: Offset is for use with Surface Water Pro™.
