OK you guys are burnin me up here with my comment on backing up a combine! ouch! pretend for a second that you just opened up a field by taking off down a contour that was a saved a-b line from say your planting trip. your corn is yielding +250bu and your row length is 1/2mile+, i. e. you can't break through the field. your options traditionally was nibble sideways on both sides of your pass to make enough room for the cart to get along side so you can dump, or using the same method to turn around. problem with doing it the old way is it messes up your yield map for many future plans. like multi year comparisons of yield used to build a variable rate N map. ok now if you had autopilot or autofarm onboard, you slam the combine in reverse, engage the autopilot and let it back you out of the field.

the moral of the story :P I was just trying to point out how "intelligant" autopilot is. that's all

Flames always welcome,
