I'm trying to learn how to use the AGCO C3000 (mostly the same as Topcon X30) auto-steer screen. I did not find instructions from the manual on setting the navigation point to the implement instead of being set to the tractor.
Currently the C3000 steers the tractor to follow the stored (curve) wayline. I'm used to Fendt VarioGuide and it allows me to define the navigation point at the implement to make the implement follow the curved wayline. How do I do it with the C3000/X30?
If there is no setting, is there any other way to reuse a set of curved waylines for different implements. An example is a trailed drill and a mounted sprayer. The trailed drill should follow exactly the wayline because the tramlines should appear where the mounted sprayer would be driving when using the same waylines (every n:th for the sprayer).
Here an example of my quite narrow test field. At the curve my drill is not following the wayline as you can see from the coverage map. Instead it is the tractor that follows the wayline.
I must have missed a setting or have I defined the implement incorrectly?
Another issue feature that I can handle with the VarioGuide but could not figure out for the C3000: the X30 manual explains that recording a curve guidance line can be interrupted. How should this be done? I figured it out for the field border but not for the curve wayline. An example application is a wayline that consists of straight sections and curves. If I stop recording at the start of the straight section and restart recording after the straight section, I get a "clean" combination of AB-line sections within a curve wayline.
I could record the wayline with VarioGuide but unfortunately there is no way to transfer the recorded curve line from VarioGuide to C3000/X30.
How do C3000/X30 experts handle curve lines? A tutorial would be welcome.
