As winter trainings come to an end, someone will inevitably ask me “What are you going to do with all of your free time now that training is over?”  Some one will ask me the same question at the end of planting, and again in November at the end of harvest.  The truth is, tech [...]

This video demonstrates how to create a new self-propelled sprayer in your display, including setting important measurements and GPS offsets.

This video shows how to import and manage an .MSF (Management Setup File). An .MSF is used to import management items into a display, such as growers, farms, field names, boundaries, products/product mixes and guidance patterns.

This video explains how to create field boundaries, the difference between inner and outer boundaries and the importance of boundary offsets.

This video goes through the creation of a new tractor and properly setting measurements and GPS offsets. (If you are using OnTrac2 or ParaDyme, please visit the Knowledgebase on Ag Leader’s Customer Support page (http://support.agleader.com/) for more information about entering GPS offsets.)
