Tramlines on Trimble 750 or 2050

[Case140]

Hi guys. Am about to purchase a gps system. Apologies if this has been asked before (I cant find it!) but does anybody know can you get a trimble 750 or 2050 to display which lines are the tramline passes? (just to clarify a 3 m drill so system puts up guidelines for the field @ 3m. I want every 7th line in different colour or flagged somehow to match where trams should be for my 21m sprayer) It seems to me to be a basic requirement but have seen a few systems and none seem to be able to do this without running through external software........or are the farmers who demo them to me missing something? Thanks in advance

I tramline on the first bout then just count multiples of 8(24m) and check it against the current pass number

Yes, that was my thoughts......but it would be great if it would mark them as my maths are not great!!

Oh....do they display pass numbers? So ab line is 1 next is 2 etc

AB line is 0 then, depending which side you are working, the next line is either L1 or R1

And can you see these numbers when you have the ab off screen?

Yes, they appear long the bottom of the screen.
When we did something similar to what you want, I did a list of all the tramline numbers for quick reference.

Thanks for that.....Its a work around!
Mind you it would seem a simple bit of programming to mark the lines?‍

GFX 750 and TMX 2050 (piq app only) have a tramline feature in field manager on newer f/w versions.

Field manager is an extra external software??

No it is part of the internal piq app.

As havnt yet used trimble, how does that work? When you create your ab line and the field guides come up on screen what next?? Thanks

You enable tramlines in field manager, input your swath spacing, 7 in your case and then in the run screen you 'set tramline' on your first tramline bout and then every 7th bout will be highlighted in a different colour (grey) from your normal guidance lines.

Perfect...thats what I was looking for?Thanks a million.

No problemo.
It's not available on CFX 750, only GFX 750 and TMX 2050

I've a Trimble 1050 running EZ Pilot Pro motor and it has the tramlining feature exactly as described by @Slick Its part of the field IQ app.

Don't suppose it provides a high output on a pin when you're on that bout? Even if it wasn't used to control the tramliners, it could be used to verify everything was in sync and alarm if not. XOR would do the trick.

Cant seem to find it on xcn 2050 (new holland flavour) with ez pilot either??. And cant even find tramlines mentioned in user manual. Anybody know for definite please - think I am out of luck on this one!

 

[Slick]

Which app are you running?
PrecisionIQ or FMX+ ?
CNH branded displays use different firmware to Trimble versions so I don't know what version you need
to be on to get tramlines.
They are only available on PrecisionIQ app.

Fmx 2050 I think it is called (will check later). Firmware v is 3.5.1.3. I have downloaded a new firmware v 6......... which I have not yet updated (I am a bit of a cynic and operate on the old principle of "if it aint broke dont fix it!")
Havnt really explored p iq app as it came with a dealer warning of "dont use that!" A prelim glance at the app seemed a complicated interface.........what is the point of the two apps??
