Swath Command™ Clutch Operation
The optional Swath Command™ system replaces the
standard 3-section operator-controlled clutches with 12
sections of clutches under seed monitor control. If you
have the standard clutches, see “Electric Clutch
Operation” on page 41.
The Swath Command™ system automatically turns off
rows when the row unit enters a non-planting area (as
defined by a pre-loaded prescription), or if the row enters
an area already logged as planted during prior passes.
Setup and operation of a factory-installed Swath
Command™ system is covered in a separate manual:
Swath Command™ Section Control, publication part
number 403-857M.
Swath Command™ ordering information is found on
page 116.
Y-Tubes
Refer to Figure 43
Y-tube gates can be shut off to feed only one row for
single-row planting on a twin-row machine. In the
photograph, both meter tubes are open.
You can also shut off the Y-tube gates to clean out the air
system and meters. See “Cleaning Out Air System” on
page 94.
