Hyd Lift Look Ahead

Working on with setting up hydraulic lift and found that in V6.6 or 6.7 the look ahead for lowering does not make any difference and will only lower when implement crosses the leadland. Screenshot show timer line crosses but implement still up.


If I back up to v6.4.4 it does lower when the pink timer line crosses the headland.

V6.6 i believe has a bug on the timings so this migt ne your issue.
Ive gone back to v6.1 from last year that seems to work the section control better
Ive not tried v6.7 yet

set your headland 3 or 4 meter shorter as a workaround for now?

Dear partners,

In fact, I don’t undestand how to use working switch. Is it used to hear a bitttt noise and in that moment rise (or drop down) the tool? Because I normally make a furrow in the field before begin to know it.

I have opened an Issue on Github for this.
If anyone has details to add:

Did some more checking after seeing the github discussion. From what I can tell the apply to headland was the difference not version. If apply to headland is active the look ahead appears to have no affect but when selected to not apply to headland it functions as I would expect.

If you select “apply to headland” I expect auto lift don’t work at all?

I never used it so its a bit teorical for me.
What kind of behaviour should we expect when “apply to headland” is active?

It should lift over an applied area? And it should always lift over an applied area no matter the mode?
This part work as expected?

I’m a fairly new user trying to get it all working and didn’t notice the different setting. The way i assumed was when the headland is active and you activate the lift the timer line shows up it would use it. Knowing the headland application affects it I can set it and should work for what i need.

Yes it does seem odd that lift and lower still activate with apply to headland, just doesn’t use the look ahead, but still shows the line.

Having lift activated by headland is logical to me.

Only other thing that affects it is that auto sections must be active, no big deal but as discussed in another thread, if you use an implment work switch, which is very handy for say pausing a boundarie recording, you don’t have lift functions till you dissable the work swich for auto sections. Only thing i see here is say drilling with no means of autmatic clutch, instead of planting with row clutches, you may want to still have a work swich for actual applied area.

The ISOBUS Pull Request bring a PGN to retourn the actual section status, this should then also be used for auto lift (any machine module that can give a section status feedback).

Because the work switch dictate when to work as the auto lift does. This is conflicting, you must choose one or the other.

Thanks for all the help understanding how it all works.

Pretty cool to have everyone here that know how this is made and works inside and out!

It really is a pretty versatile and powerful system.
