Disagree, I use SF1 pulling a trailed 3m Vaderstad and I find the Greenstar excellent for drilling headlands. I’m fact it’s is incredible just how good it is 👍 I use the adaptive curve function for the headlands.
How do you use the adaptive curve for headlands? Tried it today but no success. Always use ab curves and save each headland side individually but its a bit crap swapping between tracks.

Press record; drive round once, then press A to activate your autotrac (3rd segment of your pie) then drop onto your next bout in and engage autosteer. Keep recording, even in corners/shunting. Never press pause/stop until you’re finished. Obviously take over in corners or it will try and wrench you round.

Ah ha, i was pressing stop at the end of the lap, it would then steer me back for the 2nd pass but nothing after that.
I'll give it a whirl again tomorrow, trees are a bit of a bugger on the 1st pass with signal going between green yellow and red which then buggers up the next pass

Easily done and common sense would suggest you were doing the right thing!
That’s the beauty of adaptive; you can manually intervene and straighten a wiggle (or even drive manually in your tree scenario) and that becomes your new guidance line which subsequent passes will meet up to.

We have Trimble rtk autosteer.

Trees never been a issue for me.

If signal does drop out it changes to x fill and you carry on.

Must be a green star thing.

Been drilling under trees with it today.
Mine drops out under trees on rtk . How do you know when x fill comes in ?

Thanks for that. Was trying to using it like ad curves. You never stop learning, been using ab curves for years and could never get the adaptive curves to work.
What does the "repeat" box function do?

The only downside is you can’t name and save an adaptive headland to my knowledge to enable you to bring them up and use them again, say the following year. Someone might put me right. Afraid I’m not familiar with the repeat box function (?) I use 1800 screens so fairly basic and haven’t noticed such a thing

Got it sorted this morning . Had a wrong code in x fill setting so dealer gave me the correct one . Throw the markers away now 🤣
Have this on 1 of my run screens. Luckily don't need it often. Sometimes as its getting dark notice its running on x fill
