Shift By Rows example
Use the Center-pivot pattern for a field that is irrigated using a center-
pivot. With this pattern, you can drive concentric circles around the
center-pivot. The display will calculate the center point based on
where you have driven. Otherwise, you can enter in the latitude and
longitude of the center point, if known.
Note: If necessary, enter the Longitude value as a negative number
1. Position one wheel of the vehicle in a pivot wheel rut, with the rear of the vehicle to the pivot arm.
2. To start the pivot, set Point A.
3. Drive around the field. Keep the vehicle wheel in the rut. The lightbar does not yet provide
guidance.
4. When you are almost back to the pivot arm or the edge of the field, set Point B.
Next, you must set the Field Edge. You may do this when the Pivot Field Edge window appears on your
display, as shown at left. From here, you may choose one of three options:
• Shift By Distance - This sets the field edge as the distance and direction in relation to the AB Line created. In
the Pivot Field Edge Distance portion of the window, enter the distance in feet and inches.
• Shift By Rows - This sets the field edge as the number of crop rows multiplied by the number of spacing. In
the Pivot Field Edge Distance portion of the window, enter the Number of Rows and Row Spacing. In the
example shown at bottom, if you entered 3 rows and 30 inch-spacing, the field edge would equal 90 inches.
• Cancel - The vehicle uses the driven pass as the AB Line.
Use the numeric keypads to enter the Number of Rows and Row Spacing. Choose the direction relative to the
AB Line (either Outward or Inward), and press Accept.
5. Turn left or right for the next swath. The next swath is automatically selected.
6. Steer the vehicle so that you center the green lights in the lightbar as you drive forward along the path.
Note: To work from the center of the field outwards, the initial pivot must have:
• A radius of at least two swath widths.
• An arc length of at least two swath widths.
7. Press Engage.
