Row Shutoff Look-Ahead Numbers
This table references the Turn-On Look-Ahead and Turn-Off Look-Ahead numbers for both Electric
Clutch and Air Row Shutoff Modules.
Note: Using the above settings will produce accurate field results. However, small gaps may appear on the
display, as in the example shown below left. These gaps do not reflect actual machine performance or log
data.
I F GAPS APPEAR WITHIN ON - SCREEN MAP :
Shown is a typical example of a SeedCommand
coverage map.
When operating AutoSwath, do not make changes
to the look-ahead settings based on data from the
on-screen map.
The look-ahead settings in the Planter Unit Seed
Meter Type table were created from field testing
and machine observations to determine the
appropriate settings for each combination of clutch
and seed meter. These should be accurate
settings unless your planter has been modified.
Small skips and overlaps (A) in the map may be
expected but should not require you to adjust
settings without first observing your machine’s performance.
To determine if a setting change is necessary, perform the procedure detailed in “Checking AutoSwath
Performance for Row Shutoff” on page 99 to observe the actual machine performance. Following this procedure
will give you additional data to use with that already received from the on-screen map.

AutoSwath Notes
To use AutoSwath for planting operations, you are required to use a 5 Hz or higher GPS output rate.
AutoSwath control will not allow sections to be turned on until the master and planting section switches
are on. If you have less than a 5 Hz GPS output rate and you select AutoSwath, a warning appears,
telling you that AutoSwath Control is not available at less than 5 Hz.
Checking AutoSwath Performance for Row Shutoff
The settings given in the above AutoSwath look-ahead table have been tested with each clutch and
seed meter combination to work for your planter. However, if you are looking for a method to verify the
performance of SeedCommand, then you should attempt the following procedure:
Planter Unit Seed Meter Type On/Off Electric Clutch Air Clutch
