[QUOTE="Timbo, post: 7441298, member: 772"] Right, So once you have set up Tractor dimensions, an Implement & width , a Farm and a Field and created a New Track...... What Tractor have you fitted this to? i.e. how do you want to be triggering the Coverage toggle? As in the pic above you have a choice between triggering it from a linkage movement input direct from the tractor (if on a modern JD the GPS harness would pick that signal up from the tractors canbus, (adapters for other makes are available - called bridges). The drop down box gives you options for triggering the coverage. Other trigger options are a manual switch connected to the GPS harness, or a microswitch added to the tractor lift arms, or a signal from an implement box - anything that that basically tells the GPS when you are in work. It can be switched to +12v or switched to 0v. You can also toggle the coverage from the screen with that soft key (either way, the pale red dot will turn red, and the tractor on the screen will start colouring. You could make up small sub harnesses to plug in depending on the implement you are using. EG a trailed mower put a switch on the lift cylinder. I personally have a manual toggle switch on the console, and also a harness connected to tractor for linkage input (JD 30 series) since I often use a fert spinner than doesn't have a means to activate the coverage switch. Does that help ? [/QUOTE]
