Machine Profiles

Machine Profiles allow the operator to configure machine dimensions and GPS offsets. These offsets and dimensions are important for accurate performance.

Machine Settings

If display detects machine, some settings are automatically populated. Otherwise, select list box to choose machine type.

Machine dimensions are required for Articulated and Track tractors. Machine dimensions are not needed for Row Crop tractors.

• Articulated Tractor

  Front Axle

  • Distance from articulation point to center of front axle. Articulation point is pivoting point of machine when making a turn.

  Rear Axle

  • Distance from articulation point to center of rear axle. Articulation point is pivoting point of machine when making a turn.
• Track Tractor

  Center of Rotation

  • Distance from pivot point of machine to rear axle.

GPS Offsets

• GPS Lateral Offset
  • Lateral distance (left or right) from center line of machine to center of GPS receiver. This value is usually set to 0.0 unless GPS receiver is offset left or right of machine center line. Guidance and Mapping applications require GPS Lateral Offset settings.

• GPS Inline Offset
  • Inline distance from center of non-steering axle on machine to center of GPS receiver. Mapping application requires GPS Inline Offset settings.

• GPS Height
  • Vertical distance from GPS receiver to ground.

Connection Offsets

• Inline distance from center of non-steering axle to connection point. Connection point is location where implement connects to machine. Mapping application requires Connection Offset settings.
