| We have had implement guidance on our ExactEmerge for the past 4/5 years. Plant with 16 rows, harvest with 12 and spray with whatever. Been working perfectly until this year. Normally we are not back in the field until spraying and y-dropping nitrogen. I run the planter around 8 mph+/- and watch the planter guidance bar like a hawk to make sure it runs mostly in the "green". Received an error message half way through the season that "Guidance Performance Reduced- Shared Signal will result in reduced guidance performance. Tractor GPS reciever has lower activation level than implement receiver." Our tractor has the activation and the planter reciever "slaves" off the tractor and has now guidance. I checked, both were running the same software update -Version 6.80C.
This year, we had to run a rotary tiller for crusting. It was eyeopening. Guess row passes were overly evident for pinching as we tracked through the field. We'll fly with a drone as the crop comes up, but the planter "swaying" back an forth on the guess rows has us very concerned. AutoPath will be useless with the sprayer and combine. We will be running rundown all over the fields. Hearing rumors of a Deere software issue. Any one else seeing these issues in the field or hearing from the dealer?
