During harvesting, move the stage point to ensure the tractor is positioned conveniently for efficient syncing with the combine. marker to the desired location for the grain cart to wait to unload the controlling combineClosed The combine that may assign paths to, and may sync with, the OMNiDRIVE™ tractor. One controlling combine is required for all OMNiDRIVE™ locations..
    2. Tap the Start button to plan a route to the stage point.
    3. Confirm the route to command the tractor to move to the stage point.
    4. Once the tractor reaches the stage point, the tractor will stop and await further commands.

  6. Unload Point

    Note:  OMNiDRIVE™ will not automatically unload the grain cart. An operator must get in the OMNiDRIVE™ tractor cab, stop autonomous operation, and manually unload the cart.

    To send the grain cart to the unload pointClosed Location where the grain cart will stop and wait to be unloaded into a grain truck. Move the unload point if the location where trucks will access the field changes.:

    1. Move the unload point marker to the desired location to wait for an operator to unload the grain cart.
    2. Tap the Start button to plan a route to the unload point.
    3. Confirm the route to command the tractor to move to the unload point.
    4. Once the tractor reaches the unload point, the tractor will stop and await an operator to manually unload the grain cart.
    5. Once the grain cart is unloaded, the combine operator may command the cart to the stage point.

  7. Tractor
