* New documentation capability establishes row location for all subsequent field operations, regardless of implement width*
* Guidance lines are automatically created from a map of crop row lines for each field
* AutoPath is included in the Generation 4 Automation Bundle and available for either the 4600 CommandCenter(TM) Integrated Display or 4640
According to
During the first field pass the planter or strip-till implement and tractor are equipped with StarFire(TM) Receivers to precisely record the location of each row with AutoPath. Thus, subsequent field passes are based upon actual documented row location rather than a static AB Line which may or may not actually represent the planted row due to implement drift on side hills or around curves. This reduces guidance line setup time and line management when starting all subsequent field operations in standing crops, eliminates the need for counting rows, optimizes all field operations and helps reduce crop damage.
"Operators can use implements and platforms of different sizes or widths for subsequent field operations since AutoPath automatically adjusts the row guidance lines based on each machine's size," Mishler adds. "It helps operators automatically find the right row, maximize each field pass to help reduce overlaps and damage to standing crops while saving time, fuel and equipment hours."
AutoPath is included in the John Deere Generation 4 Automation Bundle and available for either the 4600 CommandCenter(TM) Integrated Display or the 4640
