Subject: 1245 guess row


Perth county, Ontario
Tried for over 3 hours today to get the guess row set for 15 inch beans and couldn't get it dialled in. We are running a FM1000 for guidance and the pro 700 to run the planter, the 1000 is feeding in GPS for the clutches on the planter. We are planting 31 rows at 15 inches which is 38.75 feet wide. We have put in work width of 38 feet 9 inches all the way down to 38 feet 6 inches and then tried putting in an offset, that should adjust it to get our guess row acceptable. We seem to be able to get one side acceptable, then when we come back on the next pass it's somewhere out in left field, We've ranged from 7 inches to 21. Talked with one rep and he said to forget about using the offset and use trim tried that and going the one way our guess row was 15, (alright we're making progress) then head back the other way on the next pass and the guess row is at 29 inches, any suggestions ideas? On top of this we haven't planted anything in 20 days so emotions are a little higher than normal to begin with. Thanks for any suggestions, also forgot to add that we did a roll cal at the start of corn, which was 700 acres ago so struggling to rationalize why that would be an issue. We did drive the line with the planter down, turned around came back on the line with the planter lowered and were about 3 inches to the left of where we should have been. Thanks for any suggestions
