General Information Tab

To view the General Information tab:

  1. Select the Machine Panel icon in the bottom left corner of the Street Maps view to display the available machine configurations.

  2. Select any of the profile buttons for the machine or implements that are desired to be configured.

  3. Select the larger machine icon near the top of the screen. The General Information tab of the selected machine or implement will display.

    Note:  Use the page navigation at the bottom of the prompt, or swipe across the screen, to access other information for profiles assigned to the selected machine configuration.

    Note:  Information may be prepopulated in the following fields if a preset machine or implement profile has been selected during set up. Select any of the fields described below and use the on-screen keyboard to edit the displayed profile information.

General Information Details

The following information about the machine or implement profile will display on the General Information tab:

A description of the type of machine or implement used with the selected profile.

The sub-type field offers an additional line of equipment description to help identify the appropriate equipment with which the profile should be used.

Name or description of the original equipment manufacturer.

A model number, model year, or other designation to help identify the equipment used with the profile.

If desired, a name or description used by operators or fleet administrators to identify the equipment may be entered. This description will be displayed in the machine panel area on the main display.

Tongue/Hitch Length

Note:  The tongue and hitch length settings are only applicable to pull-type implements and carts and will not be used with self-propelled or tractor profiles.

Enter the distance in inches [centimeters] from the implement hitch to front axle on a pull-type implement. The tongue distance must be measured parallel with the direction of travel.

Note:  Only one tongue length measurement will be required for implements with a single “axle.”

For pull-type implements with an offset working section, set the left or right offset in the section group settings. Refer to Equipment Setup - Measurements Tab for assistance with section group offsets.

For implements with a second “axle,” Enter the distance in inches [centimeters] between the front and rear axles. The rear tongue distance must be measured parallel with the direction of travel.

The hitch distance should be entered if the implement or cart will be towed between the machine and another implement during field operations. Enter the distance in inches [centimeters] from the implement rear axle to the hitch point on the implement or cart. The hitch distance must be measured parallel with the direction of travel.
