Missouri river bottom south of Sioux City, IA | Check out the news release on Trimble's website. It will guide the tractor and implement. That’s the only way you will get repeatable accuracy with both the tractor and implement.
A system that just uses the tractor’s guidance to compensate for implement drift not work in any row crop situation where you want more then one repeatable pass. And I think one pass with that type of system is questionable also. On a tractor with 18-inch tires pulling a 30-inch row planter, you have 6 inches between the tire and the row. If the tractor has to compensate for implement drift more then that, then you’re planting in compacted wheel tracks. Actually its more like 4 inches because of the way soil compacts from the edge of the tire.
