Trimble GFX 750 / CNH XCN 1050: Setting Up Auto Section Control Overlaps - Simple Guide?

[Robert]

Does anyone have a simple guide as to how to fine tune the ASC on and offs - i.e. how to tweak the overlap and latency settings? Thanks

I have it on my 750 for the Kuhn but I cant remember for the life of me what settings I used, if I remember I will plug the box in tomorrow and see what my settings are. Not had any issues with mine at all for fert but dont use it for spraying.

These are the settings I have been using on Kuhn spreader:
I am using a Quantron A box but am sure that wont be much different to whatever box you are using.
On my Quantron box, my GPS Control info screen I have the following:
Distance=24m
Delay on =30.3
Delay off =0.3
length m =0
(although suspect I need to change the delay on setting)
On the FM-750
Implement Operation = Spreading
Implement Layout = Spreader Truck
On the Implement page I run the following:
Overlap/skip =0cm
Left/right offset =0cm
Forward/Back offset =250cm behind
Implement draft =0cm
Implement Mount type Hitched/3pt
On The Section Switching page:
Boon Control =Auto
Coverage Switching Overlap =99%
Boundary Switching Overlap = 1%
Coverage Allowable Rate Error = 5%
I think that's about it, obviously you get a better swath pattern with the machine set at 250cm behind the tractor and I have been running it like this for 3 years and it has been very good, no flat overlaps on pickets and the only issue I need to change is the switch on delay which I think is too great but other than that I have been happy with it.
