00:00:00 Johnny ll the stream lag. I'm in here today with Chad Zeor with Tennessee Tractor. You know, one of the things we used this year, Chad, 00:00:05 was uh, auto Path. We started using it on the planters this year and you know, it was a learning process for us. 00:00:11 We learned a lot of things that we're gonna do different this year, but one thing that we thought we'd do is sit down 00:00:15 today is in the fall we're still in harvest, but we can actually sit down today and start looking at what's the best auto path for some 00:00:21 of these fields versus doing it when we get in the field with a plant like we did this year. 00:00:25 So let's kind of walk through that process there and kind show people really how you can do it this time of year. 00:00:30 And you can actually determine, you know, for multiple applications too, we can have different auto path lines depending on what crop 00:00:36 or wanting to do or what After. So we've got a new feature in here in op center called Auto Path Boundaries. 00:00:42 And so what it actually does is it generates a full field guidance plan based off that field's boundary. 00:00:49 And so one requirement, it ain't necessarily gotta be uh, RTK autonomous boundary, 00:00:54 but it does need to be super accurate because that's what keeps this guidance line off of. So if you've got a boundary that sticks way out the field 00:01:01 or cuts around a wash, it's gonna generate that guidance line incorrectly. So, uh, Johnny actually went out, uh, yeah this past winter 00:01:09 with the Gator recorded all these boundaries but this FRTK and so, uh, what we're gonna do now is go ahead 00:01:16 and snap some auto path boundaries, uh, based off different track spacing. And so this, and we've got a field picked out here 00:01:23 and we're gonna tell it for our 60 foot piners. We wanna go ahead and generate full field guidance. And what this does is it allows Johnny to be able to 00:01:33 confidently build a full field guidance plan and if he sends an operator that's unfamiliar with this field, he doesn't have 00:01:39 to worry about if he sets a line east, west, north, south, Johnny can build it here for this entire field, send it 00:01:44 to the machine, and all the operator has to do is pull in, unfold and run that full field guidance plan and we'll 00:01:49 Actually have him named as in like a plant that's right. Auto Path or Tillies. 00:01:53 That way they know which one they're grabbing. Yep. So we told this auto path boundary here to be a a 60 foot track spacing. 00:02:01 Uh, and you can see here we've got it set to just a line two boundary and it's gonna generate the best fit auto path plan 00:02:09 based off that boundary. If for instance, you did want to just, uh, snap it off of an angle, a heading angle, uh, 00:02:15 for instance you've got beds on that farm and you know what that degree heading is that those beds are on, 00:02:20 you can just simply type in 180 90 degree angle, however you want to do it and, and then snap It. And I guess you also go in 00:02:25 there and you tell that what we're gonna to do two passes of end rows. So That's right. So, 00:02:29 um, you can see the, the yellow dash line here, that's your uh, headland offset. So on this end we tow it, we wanted 120 foot headland, 00:02:37 we're gonna make two 60 foot planter passes around the end and we've got it set to a line of boundary. 00:02:43 And so auto path plan name, we're gonna tell this in 60 foot planter and go ahead 00:02:51 and make sure it looks like you want it to make sure there ain't nothing weird going on with the boundary or the plan at snap 00:02:57 it. Go ahead and click save. And once you get these boundaries put in the headland put in, you could actually plant the middle of the field first 00:03:03 and go back and plant your end rows last because that's correct. That's already gonna be generated to the boundary too. 00:03:08 Your outside passes or your end rows are actually gonna be generated off the boundary. So That's right. So yeah, back on this yellow dash line 00:03:14 here, that's your 120 foot hail land. So what Johnny's talking about is s swat control section control will then key off of this yellow line instead 00:03:22 of the pink line or a coverage map. And so he can pull in and unfold and go ahead and plant the meat of his field first 00:03:28 and it's gonna cut those clutches off on this yellow line. Yep. Come back when he is done plant his ROS last 00:03:33 that way you ain't got all that compaction, the pin control there on The end. That's right. Just 00:03:36 everything's like cleaner for us. But then for two by two that we're running, it allows us to pull the tanker in the field 00:03:41 and we're not running, we're running over what we've already planted. We, we will sit there and plant that last. 00:03:46 So it's easy going in this time of year and do this. And then, you know, I think we already had one, we were planted long go where it was actually fertility. 00:03:52 So it was at, at an angle to how we're gonna plant like a 30 degree angle. Yep, that's right. You know, having that stuff free done. 00:03:58 So the operator's pulling the field and if they're pulling a tillage machine like a vertical till machine, they can all automatically click on a line 00:04:04 and most time that's gonna be their fastest way across the field. That's another thing we can kind of figure out, 00:04:08 which is the fastest way to plant these fields off of the boundaries that are there. That's right. And you've got tillage in the fall across corn residue. 00:04:15 You wanna make sure that guy's cut in at a 30 or 40 degree angle. So you'll see Johnny actually built this 30 foot tillage 00:04:21 pass here and on this end if the boundary lined up with a good 30 degree angle compared to the cornrows, that's the way he built it. 00:04:27 Or if he could've simply told it what heading he wanted that pass to be built off of. That way Johnny assures how the operators run 00:04:33 that corner is due at whatever angle he wants. Yes. So It's good to know. 'cause sometimes the, the operators go in there 00:04:39 and they'll run completely the opposite direction of how I want it. And then when you're planting, you're sitting there filling 00:04:43 that bump all the way across the field from the tillage. So simple things like this, it's extremely fast, 00:04:48 extremely easy to do and you can save forever or you can, you can change 'em anytime you want to also. So moving forward, I think this is the way we're going 00:04:56 to do it versus like we did this year where we pulled in the field, we kind of selected with the player what we want to do. Yeah, 00:05:01 That's your other auto path option. Uh, if you wanna talk about that. Yeah, we can talk About some. Yeah. 00:05:05 So that one, that one's actually a little more, you can't view those auto path plans and off center yet. Hopefully it's coming, but the way it's generated is we got 00:05:15 a receiver of the planter. Yep. And Johnny pulls in and plants that field the way he wants to and that receiver records everywhere 00:05:22 in that field that planter went. And so essentially where the planter was driven is how the auto path that's generated every 00:05:28 Row basically. Correct. This is in there. So that's a lot of data that is pulling in. 00:05:31 It's unreal amount of information that is. And we can take that data and turn around and that's where the sprayer's gonna be running. 00:05:37 Correct. That's how it gets this lines put in all the way down to the combine, right? Yep. So the combine will actually know if you're running a 00:05:43 60 foot planter, 24 row, uh, planter and you got a 12-year-old cornea, the combine automatically knows 00:05:49 we're everywhere it needs to be. So you're never on this metro, so you got multiple options on what you want to do. 00:05:53 Some of it's just gonna be a learning process for us here in West Tennessee, we have very irregular shaped fields, very small fields. 00:06:00 So it is sometimes harder to do this than what it is in other parts of the country. But being able to learn, get more used 00:06:05 to it is gonna be a big thing moving forward. 00:06:07.385 --> 00:06:07.605
