Tractor Setup
The tractor setup screens configure the relative locations of the GPS antenna, the control point or hitch, and
the pivot point. These points may be different for the specific tractor type selected. See the Conventional
Tractor Setup
section on page 107, Tracked Tractor section on page 108, or Articulated Tractor section on
page 109 for detailed instructions on locating and measuring these points.
Note:
All measurements should be taken with respect to the pivot point of the vehicle. If required, set the
fore/aft or left/right selections assuming you are at the pivot point facing toward the front of the
vehicle.
Be sure to enter each measurement in the units displayed above the on-screen keypad. See the
Display Units Configuration section on page 99 for assistance to change the units of measure.
Conventional Tractor Setup
Note:
The pivot point of a conventional tractor is the center of the rear axle.
1.
Enter the left/right offset of the GPS antenna from the pivot point. The left/right offset must be measured
parallel to the vehicle’s rear axle.
2.
Select the direction of the left/right offset. To determine the offset direction, assume you are standing at the
pivot point. (Is the antenna to your left or to your right?)
3.
Enter the fore/aft offset of the GPS antenna from the pivot point. The fore/aft offset must be measured
perpendicular to the vehicle’s rear axle.
4.
Select the direction of the fore/aft offset. To determine the offset direction, assume you are standing at the
pivot point. Is the antenna in front (fore) or behind (aft) you?
5.
Measure the distance from the pivot point (center of the rear axle) to the control point or hitch.
