Subject: I wish JD could transfer coverage maps from one screen to another...



Chebanse, IL.....

We sidedress liquid UAN  on our end rows using a 2630 to control & record the operation. Maps are viewable in Apex & become permanent records. Then after we complete the headlands & odd rows, we sidedress NH3 on the main rows with a different tractor using another 2630 to control & record. It makes permanent maps also. However, we would like to transfer the "coverage data" (blue lines showing work done) from the liquid UAN monitor to the NH3 monitor so that the autoswath system would work & acreage would be 100% complete when the NH3 is completed on a given field. Both operations have a TASK title of "applicaton". The products (UAN or NH3) shouldn't make a difference.

However, we don't seem to be able to accomplish this. It appears that every time we try to export data from the liquid machine & import it to the NH3 machine, the rate controller must spoil the intentions on the import. Data from the liquid UAN machine will seem to remove the "Implement 1" setup in the NH3 machine as the UAN data is imported. You go check the IMPLEMENT 1 setup in the NH3 machine following the upload & you'll find there is no longer any IMPLEMENT 1 setting & you have to re-enter it. What's more....there is also no coverage data.

Our AMS folks have looked at this for years & haven't been able to figure a way to "fool" the machines to make it work. It seems this is not such an unusual request & that JD would/could either tell us how to do it, or make changes to make it possible.

Again, the main intents are to utilize the auto-swath controls on the 2nd operation into the field, being the NH3 applicator, which by the way is also a JD 2510H. The only thing not JD in the mix is the UAN applicator. It's a FAST painted green, which are now available from JD anyway.

Or, is anyone successfully doing this & maybe we're missing something along the line? Again, it seems that maybe the rate controllers (necessary items!!) are spoiling the coverage swapping. Along this same line, if you ever accidentally "Clear coverage" on  a field you know that your autoswath is no longer usable. So,  you think you'll just go to APEX & get the coverage maps back that were wirelessly transferred & put them back in to fix your mistake? No. Coverage can NOT be transferred from Apex to the 2630. The blue coverage lines only exist in the 2630.

Thanks for listening.
