NEND | I had relatively good results with it last year. I have a 44’/24 row planter, 110’ sprayer. It works out good, I’m never straddling the guess rows because the sprayer is 2.5 times the width of the planter. A couple things that I struggled with… 1. On one field that has mostly 1/2 mile long passes, but on the side that I finished planting on, it has much shorter passes parallel to the side that I started planting on. Logic would tell you to spray across the field starting on the long passes, overlapping where the short passes are. AutoPath had me over lapping on a random, 1/2 mile long pass.
2. It follows where the planter goes, so if you don’t come out of the headland perfectly, the line will veer off , and thus your sprayer will also. This goes back to the planting job I know. I experimented with Turn Automation, but never could get it to work really well when only making 2 headland passes. I might try 3 passes this year, I’m sure it would work better with three. I never could make it do a lightbulb style turn. No matter how I changed the settings, it never would turn a bit in the opposite direction before it turned towards the next pass. It would just go into the headland straight and turn towards the next pass (ending up as a “P” shaped turn).
