My drill setup yesterday

1DCACC77-93D3-4FBB-852C-F613A48908FA.jpeg


It’s a vaderstad so I am running a 7 cm offset.With the tape measure out I don’t think I am far out. I was doing fertiliser in the week krm machine and isobus control, no misses on the screen. So I think with my drill the screen miss is caused by the offset.

Hopefully I will be spraying and fertilising next week so I can get some comparison photos

instill think you could fix that mostly by changing implement setting to steering axle

As you suggested Richard, we've altered the hitch lengths to compensate for a steering axle setting so the drill appears to track more accurately on the map.
Still a mystery as to why the implement icon crabs and subsequently maps incorrectly in rigid axle/drawbar configuration.

makes no sense to me. Has been doing it on my 927 for years and new 936 just the same.
All trailed implements that you use can be altered the same to make them track correctly.

I take it you have checked all the basics? You have no off sets set on the tractor or the implement on the screen. The Satellite is in the centre of the Tractor on screen and literally. When was the last time you calibrated yaw. ( Sorry only know the John Deere Greenstar) But I presume all makes you do this. Basically is the tractor(Satellite) standing up straight.

We had the exact problem on our 718 .
Calibrations and settings were fine but it took a software update to cure it.
724 was perfect for 2 years then the same crabbing icon problem occurred immediately after we had Contour Assist loaded.
Recalibrating steering settings has no affect or improvement.
Changing the drawbar settings to 3 point hitch mounted and axle setting from rigid to steering has resolved the crabbing issue.
The drill is drawbar towed with a rigid axle...?
@Boysground , our Dealer was speaking with Agco and it's the same old story, " never heard of this before, try going through all the steering and GPS calibrations "
It's not the end of the world but when we brought the issue up with our 718 there was a service bulletin that the Service Manager was aware of relating to the problem.
It seems to only be an issue with trailed implements, mounted implements are spot on.

Its a software issue, I've asked the question to the main dealers tech guy.

We have exactly the same issue but only when running the trailed sumo behind the 930....... all other implements are fine including the trailed 4 M Vaddy .... which is odd! We also have Fendts Contour Assist since last spring which is when the problem arose.

I'll try the suggestion of inputting a steered axle , fingers crossed that helps .
