Saving adjust Fendt waylines

[shakalakka]

Hi,

Sometimes i need to adjust the contour-waylines around the field. Say you have 15 m headland, and you want to move it 50 cm in from the boundary. I move the tractor to where i want it, and hit the button to "move wayline to current position". Works fine, but is it possible to save this newly adjusted wayline? The reason for this is that sometimes the system creates a headland wayline that is off the 15 meter center. Dont know what i am doing wrong, but i drive into the field and nudge the waylines 7,5 meter in - and still the tractor is way off the middle of the headland.

I think it depends on which system you have? it is possible to nudge all the countour segments by a specific amount, Ive never tried an individual contour but think it can be done. If you have the tractor set on contour segments go to the nudge part and there should be a move all sections button. The gen 6 screen also give you an option to pin a specific segment wayline I think that one can then be moved individually. The best thing you can do is to make certain the headland boundary is correct. I usually change them when planting if necessary.

This is a Fendt 516 from 2014, so not the newest screen. Ill look for the nudge all sections! My boundary seems to be correct, i just dont understand how the wayline nudged 7,5 from the boundary on a 15 meter headland can be off by 1-2 meters? Maybe its a bug and i just need to re-do the boundaries on the affected fields.

Rtk should be spot on, egnos will probably not be quite right. I will look to see if it’s on my 2013 716 later.

Thanks! Yea, using RTK, working perfectly on most of my fields except two that has this weird wayline too close to the boundary.

Field boundaries shift every year in a plough based system depending if ploughed in or out?

Would be useful to be able to move them. I map them again every year with drill.

 

[Boysground]

Can you delete it and create new contour segments for the field? There is a button that should put all the waylines back to their original position.

Is the working width all correct? I have had machines mysteriously change width in the past, usually isobus related.

I never plough, but i guess i could do one pass on the outer edge of the headland to remap with the drill each year. I have only mapped boundary using the tractor without implement before, can you instruct it to use the edge of the implement as the boundary?

I'm new holland/trimble not Fendt. So can't help you I'm afraid.

I can try to delete and re-create contour from boundaries, thats a good point!

yes. As long as the implement width is correct and the tract knows what you are using. I do it with the drill all the time

It’s better not to drive around the corners but to pause and put a right angle in if possible

Yea, waylines get very strange if you just drive through the corner without stopping.

I don't get the point of field borders moving even on a ploughed field. I guess depends on what one wants to do.

I've mapped all fields with a quad-bike (with AOG), drives decently on corners. I then edit field borders further on google earth. Make straight lines where the field is straight (and I've driven the quad bike a bit off). Make corners tight where needed etc. Then copy everything to each tractor.

No problems with a Fendt when a contour wayline is created from the boundary and moved inwards to the field to match the implement width.

They only move for me if someone manages to grab a bit of extra ground with a cultivator. It is often only a few cm however many of my fields don’t have hedges or fences or fences in one piece, so it can be a metre sometimes. That’s when I end up changing the boundary. Most years for most fields nothing changes.

Which receiver do you have. The older topcon can’t do contour lines from the boundary

 

[shakalakka]

Its a Novatel something using RTK.

Do you have contour assist unlocked

 

[shakalakka]

Yes, the contours work well on mot of my fields, just the two that seems to be way off.

 

[Richard Smyth]

I do find that almost need a different contour line for each implement as with different geometry etc they never do corners etc exactly how I want. I’ve started using the boundary as a starting line then record a contour for each machine. Also depends what direction they have been done

 

[shakalakka]

Thats a good idea, ill try that, thanks!
