SEQ, Australia
The funniest I had was an operator with a "then new" Ag170 NavI AutoPilot that used to have the option of doing a field boundary first to set the EOR alarms. Said operator was in too much of a rush to plant wheat that night and just set an A-B line, making the EOR alarms go off perpendicular to the A & B points across the field. All went well til after midnight and the field began to taper off. Operator woke up with the alarm going in his ear, silenced it and proceeded to scan for the end of the field. After 2-3 minutes he started to catch on that something wasn't right, glanced at his screen and noticed one coverage pass was "a bit longer" than all the rest. While he was asleep he planted to the edge of the field, through the tail drain, across the access road, through the neighbours tail drain, and was 150m into the neighbours place merrily planting wheat as he went...... I laughed at him.... A LOT!!
