Midwest | LAfarmer435 - 6/19/2025 11:35 That’s what I struggle with. When I test it before season it’s right. Going across the field it works until it doesn’t. I wanted to tell myself it was falling in a tillage track or something as it did it significantly more in my worked corn ground theb it did my no till beans however still did it in beans. When it happens the narrow row is more dramatic than the wide row is. I just don’t know what to even look at at this point. It seems like iv gone over everything 10 times
I have a field out my back door that the soil types will vary from muck to sand and back in the same pass and implements that don't pull straight will go from perfectly centered to 4" off (8" guess row) and back in the same pass.
The real test is when it's "off" in the field raise the planter and in the field or on the gravel road make a AB line and steer it once going one direction. (planter up or unhooked) Flag the tire location after you've been on the line good and stopped mid-pass. Drive ahead and turn around and come back on the same line and stop in the same spot. If the tractor tire tracks are in the same spot the signal, receiver, steering system, and anything on the tractor are good. (likely)
Then do the same thing with the planter in the ground. Flag or mark the rows going one way on the line. Turn around on the same line and see how the rows line up or not. If they don't line up, however far they're off, take half of that number and put that in for your lateral offset in the GPS measurements. |
