Implement Offsets
Press CHANGE OFFSET button on Implement Setup
screen.
Implement name must be defined to save implement
offsets.
Implement Offsets—Used to define the actual implement
position relative to the machine.
Control Point—The location around which the implement
rotates.
Enter Implement Offsets:
• A) In­line distance from connection point to front of
implement. On pull­type implements, think of this as the
tongue. This would be the distance from the connection
point to the first point of ground engagement (front
ranks of field cultivator, seed drop point on a planter).
For planters with a 2­pt mount, measure from where the
planter pivots just behind the 2­pt.
• B) In­line distance from front to rear of implement. On
ground engaging tools, this is the distance from the front
rank of sweeps or points to the rear rank. On a standard
pull type sprayer, this offset would be 0 and the sprayer
has nozzles at the same point along the boom.
• C) Lateral distance from connection point to control
point of implement. This is the lateral distance from the
center of the machine to the center of the implement,
which will be 0.0 for most common implements.
NOTE: Examples of equipment that will not be centered
include most split row planters with an even
number of 38 cm (15 in.) rows, (Examples: 1790
12/24, 16/32 CCS, 24R15 or 32R15) unless
using an adjustable hitch crossbar.
For the implements listed, it is required to enter an
implement offset dimension C on the implement
offset page. By entering implement offset
dimension C, iGuide will make the necessary
adjustments for the system to perform accurately.
Another example of this scenario is a planter
with a 2­pt hitch offset of 19 cm (7.5 in.) to
the right. This planter must have an offset
of 19 cm (7.5 in.) entered for dimension C
on the implement offsets page.
NOTE: When using an adjustable hitch crossbar,
a lateral offset for the machine and
implement is needed.

Offsets
A—In­line distance from
connection point to front of
implement.
B—In­line distance from front
to rear of implement.
C—Lateral distance from
connection point to control
point of implement.
D—In­line distance from
connection point to control
point of implement.
E—In­line distance from
connection point to
connection point for
second implement. Value
only needed if second
implement is used.
F— Offset Toggle Button
G—A+B Documentation/Swath
Control location when in
use.
• D) In­line distance from connection point to control point
of implement. In many cases, this distance will be from
the connection point to the carrying wheels. For proper
turns, measure this distance with implement at the
height it typically will be at while in the lower position.
For planters with a 2­pt mount, measure from where the
planter pivots just behind the 2­pt.
• E) In­line distance from connection point to connection
point for second implement. Value only needed if
second implement is used.
