Implement Profiles

Use Implement Profiles to configure Implement Connection Type, Working Width, Dimensions, and Recording Triggers. These offsets and dimensions are important for accurate performance.

Connection Types

• Describes how implement is attached to machine and determines trailing actions of implement being towed. Connection Type should reflect the connection type of the current implement. It should also match one of the machine connection types specified in the Machine Profiles section. Mapping application requires Connection Type setting.

• Pivoting Hitch
  • Some configurations have implement mount to machine's rear 3-point hitch and pivot at a different location on implement. For these implement types, a Pivot Offset setting is required. This option only appears if Rear 3-Point is selected as a machine connection type.

Working Width

• Working Width is the width of the area tilled, planted, sprayed, or harvested on each pass through the field. It is used to create coverage maps and calculate area worked. Guidance, Mapping, and Area Totals applications require Working Width.

Dimensions

• Lateral Offset
  • Lateral distance from center point of machine to center point of working width of implement. Guidance and Mapping applications require Lateral Offset setting.

• Center of Rotation
  • Inline distance from connection point to implement’s center of rotation while in working position. Usually, this is where load bearing parts of implement make contact with ground. Mapping application requires Center of Rotation setting.
• Work Point
  • Inline distance from connection point to point where the operation occurs. For example, where seed or product is dropped, a crop is harvested, or ground is tilled. Mapping application requires Work Point setting.

Work Recording

• Recording Triggers determine when map recording and Work Monitor totals are turned ON and OFF. Not all recording triggers are available for all machines types. NOTE: In Manual mode, operator must push Record or Pause button to turn Coverage Map recording ON or OFF.
