I know it's been said but first time corn planting and with an articulated tractor! Good job!

Ya its a little different but once you get a hang of it, its pretty nice. My uncle had issues with his 8430 because his GPS was practically right above the articulation of the tractor and it was constantly steering. He build a bracket and moved it further out and it works well now. Our gps is on the front of the hood

Looks like you were getting the hang of it by the time you finished. Those electronics can be frustrating when they don't work right. My setup is pretty simple, just straddle the furrow in the dirt the marker arm makes! Lol!

BornToFarm101 you did a good job for first time... it's always nerv racking with the dad watching I started doing our planting about 10 years ago before we had auto steer.... it's not such a bad thing learning without it some end rows I still have to drive... when you use markers and going around curves remember don't look at hood keep the mark under your butt and you won't have wide guest rows around curves

Lol man that’s gonna be fun for the combine driver!! Those are some pretty sharp curves. Why not find the straight side and go back and forth? All those curves are wasted time come harvest

the curves actually made less passes--they weren't too sharp for the combine. i know what you're saying--this was also testing the auto steer from the previous passes

We have auto steer but still use markers in case we lose GPS Signal and helps us see where we have been and helps us keep going if the gps does not come back.

Not a bad idea, most guys don't do that up here tho. Knock on wood, once the GPS is working, we don't generally have issues with it

It looks like a program called 'field view'. It's what's usually used with the Precision Planting 20/20 system.
