Red Oak, Texas | I installed my Ez-Guide 250 and the Ag15 antenna last night in my John Deere 5525 cab tractor. I'll post a couple pics tonight. A couple notes: the power cord is really too short and the antenna is really too long. I was going to cut off the cigarette lighter cord and put a JD connector on it to plug into my power strip but it holds the fuse for the unit. I'll figure something out later on that.
So, at midnight I decided that I needed to go try this baby out.
Satellite coverage is not a problem - locked in by the time I got tot he field.
I figured I would do a couple headlands (2 circuits) and then fill it it. Well, I selected headland and then select A. What is this drive 160 feet to point B. What do they really mean by that?
I figured out the button on the left turns the mark on and off - pretty cool.
Well, I went around pastures and I was zooming in and out of the map and I came back to point A (it was on the map). I was not sure what to do. So, I just kept going. Circuit 2 didn't see B either (also - no LEDS lit).
I finally gave up on the headland thing and did a point A to B and I finally got some guidance, but man with a narrow implement I am going to be busy but I guess that is the point. The one thing that is confusing is if you go past the line you want, it will go onto the line on the other side. I guess that is just an experience thing.
So - how do I get this headland thing working?
Any advice for me?
Not sure where everybody else mounts these untis, but I mounted mine at eye level on the upper mount in my cab. If I had to look down at this thing to often I suspect I would get vertigo.
This thing is going to rock when I get it figured out but sure glad I was not trying to do any real work with it the first time.
Thanks,
D.
