Fendt Varioguide sensitivity

[Boysground]

If you mean the auto/manual switch on that screen, it is to stop it auto-adjusting the sensitivity when used on rough ground, if it it wobbling a lot then the gyro adjusts the sensitivity on its own. its not really needed, I have one customer that uses it, but other than that leaving it on auto is best

That’s useful to know. Thanks for that

If you do ever use it, you will have to run sensitivity very low, its amazing how much damping it does without you realising!

I drill with a 4m vaderstad so quite a long bit of kit. To get the tramline in the right spot there has to be an overlap put in so the headland is only 22m wide. I now put in an extra turn so it’s 26m. I then have plenty of room and can be fairly straight to the ab line and the tractor picks it up easily.
I use the auto headland switch so all I do is turn the steering on and the tractor does the rest when it hits the mark.

Off topic but is that an Isobus drill or not? I thought you could reach better accuracy if auto-headland just lowers and lifts the drill while section control would switch seeding on and off?

Only discovered it the other day. Thinks it’s always been on auto so will just leave it. Occasionally the tractor steers loads picking up a way line. I think it’s mostly to do with contour segments and how they tend to curve in a corner of a field just where I tell the tractor to find it. Keeping speed down for a few metres seems to help best.

Not an isobus drill, the old red vaderstad box. That’s the next stage but not for a few years, will probably just fine tune my measurements.

Do have isobus sprayer and fertiliser spreader. Both work a treat definitely the best way to go.
