Creating Headland tramline 2630 screen

[Louis Mc]

Is it possible to auto create a headland tramline based on a boundary with a 2630 screen like you can with the gen 4 screens??

I dont think you can.
Ive tried auto steering headlands and the only way i can use it is to save each individual headland as its own track then once you've been round once i use the swap track function to select the headland track i want. Its a shame it can't be done when you record the headland boundary unless im missing something

Adaptive curves might be a better option for what you are trying to do, you just drive around manual the first time while recording and it will plot out the next pass for you.

It’s one gripe I have with it, otherwise it’s excellent.

You can set a constant offset at say 12m

Yes, but you can’t set a guidance line from the headland. Another feature that would be useful is to be able to pick up or drop down drill as it passes the headland offset line.

Ive never actually used the adaptive curve feature, have always used a b curves to do headlands individually
Can you do the whole boundary as adaptive curves as 1?

You can't. But I have created ab curves for all the headlands on my fields. Imo it works better than the auto create form boundery on the newer once.

The good thing with using the ab curves is you can pause the recording if you have straight sections on the headlands, then the line will be straight until you take it off pause.

All of our headlands have been drilled like this for the last 8 years, it gives a nice consistent boundery even with a student on the tractor.

You can pause the newer version just the same to make straight sections.

It’s for spraying and fertilizer in permanent tramline situation. Spraying is fine coz I can just go off the boom but if the first pass of the year is the fert spreader is the problem. Obviously only an issue the first time and aas we have rtk now I intend to each headland tramline saved as a guidance line going forward

Yea you can do the whole lot In one go. I drill headland first with 750A and that’s what I use. As i drill on sf1 I record a new one every time

If you have headland in , just put a constant offset in as said above ,and when your colouring in , you should be able to followdotted line , and drive by the colouring in ,
have almost all headlands done now with ab curve ,or straight lines , and if not just put constant offset in and follow that , better to be roughly right ,than accuratly wrong
we have 4 m drill and dont put tramline in headland ,just follow 3rd and 4 th drill join ,with fert

30m trams 4m drill so it doesn’t really work out to well to go off that

If I was you I'd get a quote to swap your screen.

I went looking for a used 2630 and we ended up with a used 4240 for less money. A brand new one was sensible money we were going new but they had a used one at the dealer and it'll do what you want with headlands
