SE South Dakota | then north then too wide a gap, a bit of an angle etc. Between 4:30 and 5:30 Central daylight time today my JD auto-trac started giving me problems. First I noticed the gap between planter passes would narrow as I drove across the field. Then the gap would be too wide. I did notice that I was down to just 5 sats in the solution then. Later when all was well again I had up to 10 Sats in the solution.
I've owned and used this machine for now 4 years and this is the first time that I had to put the planter markers down to keep planting, if only for a bit. I usually the guy on this board that wonders what in the world you all are talking about the problems you have sometimes with your auto-trac. Mind has just plain worked and worked well up to this point.
I might mention that I was working under high voltage electric transmission lines on one end of the field. I don't think they had anything to do with the steering because later in the same field I was under then alot more and nothing unusual happened.
Anybody else have problems during that time period? Something with the sats? I wonder why I had only 5 sats in the solution then later ten showed up?
Jim
