HydroSwing Configuration

First field using my own RTK base for corrections and cutting with the Hydroswing. I couldn’t quite figure out the implement setup for proper painting on the screen as well as U-Turn lining up for the next pass properly. Does anyone have a good implement configuration for a Hydroswing? Overall very pleased. Yesterday I could cut at 13km/hr with no misses. Still some issues with the tractor not being right over the swath, not sure if its antenna offset or the discbine distance is different on the left or right side of the tractor

ya I’d be interested in some pics of how you setup your offset. For running grain cart for the combine I thought I could use the same size implement as the combine with a 20ft offset to put us under the auger center but the AB line is under the tractor not the middle of the implement

I’ve spent some time with a hydroswing and autosteer, but it wasn’t AgOpenGPS.

The autosteer system doesn’t know which side of the tractor the mower is currently swung to, and I don’t think you want to edit your config every pass, so painting correctly isn’t going to work.

Easiest thing to do is to set the config up as if the mower was straight behind you. Mentally note that the paint is always one pass behind.

If the tractor is not right over the center of the swath then change the implement width setting.
