Kverneland/Accord marker trouble

Just checking over the faithful KV/Accord tine drill, which I have removed from the back of the shed.
The markers lift up and down perfectly on the hydraulics, but they do not move on the bout marker on the FGS control box.
I don't think it is the FGS control box, as I can move on the bout marker manually, using the over-ride button.
What do I check for next, please?

Just work it manually or if you have headland management work them on that .

Mine is not trustworthy either, have to keep constant check on it.
As a above, will be in magnet switches or connections probably.

Almost certainly the magnetic (or reed) switch on one of the markers is faulty or the distance between the magnet and the sensor is incorrect. The Bout maker will only move on when both markers are up and both sensors detect that they are up.

The box that KV/Accord uses aren’t the most reliable and the plug going into the box can cause a problem too.
Every single one I have ever had, ended up with me Manually moving it on to the next bout. However, the Kuhn one I now use is much better.

Another fault with the Accord system is that it does not like getting wet. I once had it move onto the next bout several times on a single run, during a heavy shower.

Can I ask, why is the Kuhn one better? What system does it use?



And if you listen very hard
