Patchwork eco+

Using a patch work eco+ working at 16 meters for fertiliser. It measures fine with worked area to my left but only 14 meters with worked area to the right. Been in touch with patch work but no solution found. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Thanks
 
Have you tried calling them? They were always very good when I rang them in the past
They called me back fews days ago. Apparently it had some old software on for the tilt compensator sent it back to be updated. Not got it back yet hopefully problem will be solved. Spoke to a chap called mike very helpfull

Antenna on bonnet over front axle works fine there gets a full signal and it's easier to follow find ab line doesn't move about so much
Have a look through the settings if it's like my advance I run the smoothing on coarse and it's easier to follow the line but you're right the further forward the antenna the easier it is to follow

Patchwork in my experience are usually very helpful on the phone. There was a software update for the Eco+, seemed to be a couple of glitches in the early version.

As above, the receiver needs to be in the centre of the roof, and in the menus check the offset setting/distance.
 
Sent it back to patch work. It turned out there was a problem with the tilt compensater. All sorted now works spot on. They were really good to deal with.They even called back a few days later to see it was ok and not having any more problems

Is this from experience or something you have "heard"
I don't see any difference if it's something that I have heard or have experience of if it's correct. Take my advice and get a trial before purchase although I'd doubt there is any hope of that happening the way they are getting on recently. Good luck and let us know how u get on
