You are best to switch the main switch off at the ends. If you don't want to do that you need to increase the switch on overlap percentage ( probably not the proper name but it's something like that) but unless you are on RTK or similar you will still have the odd problem due to satellite drift.

Might depend on how wide your outside section is compared to what level of GPS you are running.

I always turn off master switch when turning, everyone I've spoke too seems to as well, on Bateman the switch activates the spray dependent 2 wheel steering as well, so no hassle.
I turn off the master too but it's retrofit trimble not factory fitted, but I don't tend to worry about the 2ws, I leave it in 4ws all the time.
No Rob, it's brilliant. There is no noticeable difference between 2 or 4ws and I've pushed it to over 20kmh to test it. It does obviously need to be a relatively smooth field though. The only thing thats taking a bit of learning is getting close enough to on line before engaging, it's nowhere near as quick at acquiring as a steering valve.

Badshot, what Batman do you have ? I find that the heavier wider VG booms, combined with soft 710 tyres and greasy undulating fields, tend to lead me to 2ws unless bone dry, when 4ws is fine, mine is old school hand steered (how quaint !)
I bought a 2002 RB16 with 24m contour boom this spring and got my NH dealer to fit it with easy pilot and auto section control through my existing FM750.
Badshot, am I right in thinking the FM 750 only does your steering and showing where you've been not your auto section control? If so what do you use for your auto section control?

gm69, If you have updated to 4.5, you will see a new icon on the screen (bottom right) which is the 4ws icon, have this turned on all the time, and it should solve your problem. Feedback ref 4.5 update is very positive, and everyone tells me it has eliminated the problem you are having.

To answer your question, I don't sell Agleader. But a lot depends on how you have the system set. Overlap percentage etc works with accuracy level. Is it a new system?
If so can't Agleader pop out or give you phone support. It would be quicker and more in depth than asking on here?
If it's not new . It's worth paying for an Agleader rep to come out and fully commission the machine with you.
