Work recorded
(logged) in
memory? Yes
Although recorded work in Straight mode is
not used for guidance, it is used if you
switch to Contour mode and then want to
make a pass along previous work.
Yes
The recorded pass defines guidance for the
next pass.
A and B points
required? Yes
A/B points define the first pass; subsequent
passes are laid out automatically.
No
Guidance is based on previous passes.
Guide from
previous pass? No
Straight guidance only looks at predefined
parallel lines spaced by the implement
width, as entered in the Swath Width menu.
Yes
If RANGER recognizes a previous pass
close by, it automatically begins guiding on
that pass. Wherever the previous pass goes
guides the next pass.
Numbered
passes? Yes
The first A=B line is pass 0 (zero). Passes
to the right inc1, +2, etc. and
passes to the left decrement -1, -2, etc.
No
Swath width
integrity across
the field? Yes
All passes are equally spaced in multiples
of the swath width (ideal for planting,
harvesting, ditching, and furrowing).
No
Guidance works from the last pass, so
driving errors add as you work across the
field. Each pass redefines the next pass.
Switch modes? Yes
Switch from Straight to Contour mode at
any time by pressing the Contour button.
Contour mode recognizes previous passes
driven in Straight mode.
Yes
Switch from Contour to Straight mode by
pressing the Straight button. You then have
the option of using a previous A=B line or
setting a new A=B line.
Skip passes? Yes
You can complete passes in any order and
they will still be equally spaced across the
field.
Yes, however...
If you skip an area, RANGER recognizes it
as a new pass and continues logging.
RANGER can guide using the new pass or
continue guiding using previous passes.
