loses the contour from the previous pass, resulting in gaps in coverage. Use Last Pass - Swathing for these
situations.
LAST PASS SWATHING
FEATURES AND USES
Last Pass Swathing is used when making passes back and forth across a field. After turning roughly 30 to 45
degrees, it assumes the machine is turning around for the next swath in the field. A dynamic fixed contour line is
created after a turn, which enables the guidance path and the machine to hold tighter to the previous coverage.
The line is also extended out approximately 40 meters at the beginning and end to help with leading in and out of
the headlands. These line extensions also help auto-steering by allowing the machine to acquire the line earlier.
The line will not disappear as long as the center of the machine is within 1/2 of a swath width. After 1/2 of a swath
width, it will search for another piece of good coverage. The refresh button can be used to clear the line and cause
guidance to search for another good piece of coverage. For example, use the refresh button when switching from
making north/south passes to making east/west passes. Driving 1/2 of a swath width away from the current line
will also work in this situation.
NOTE: Using the refresh button or driving 1/2 of a swath width away from the line will not create the line
extensions. The line extensions will not display until the following pass.
WHEN NOT TO USE LAST PASS SWATHING
Last pass swathing is not meant for headlands, U-shaped areas, or circular patterns. Use regular last pass swathing
in these situations.
SETTING GUIDANCE PATHS
The AB Utilities widget will be required to set and manage AB guidance paths during field
operations. Refer to the Add Widgets to a Screen Layout section on page 138 to add the AB
utilities widget to a screen layout before performing the following procedures.
NOTE: The AB Utilities widget may also be used to access nudge features and tools. Refer to the Nudge
Features and Tools section on page 155 for assistance with using AB guidance nudge during field
operations.
TO SELECT A GUIDANCE PATTERN
NOTE: The Last Pass modes is enabled and set by default when starting a job without selecting a saved
guidance path. Refer to the Starting a Job section on page 128 for assistance with configuring job
