Steering; Heading - Ag Leader EDGE User Manual

Steering

• Steering's Simple Analogy: Motor Aggressiveness is a setting which varies how responsive or reactive
Steering is at turning the steering wheel.
- Too High: If Steering is responsive but jittery or jumpy at turning the steering wheel, Motor
Aggressiveness is too high and should be reduced.
- Ideal: If Steering is responsive and not jittery or jumpy at turning the steering wheel, Motor
Aggressiveness is set correctly.
- Too Low: If Steering is lazy or not very responsive at turning the steering wheel, Motor
Aggressiveness is too low and should be increased.

Heading

• Heading's Simple Analogy: The Heading Aggressiveness setting could be viewed as the volume at
which Heading speaks to Steering.
- Too High: If Heading speaks "too loudly" to Steering, Steering over responds to Heading's
commands and the tractor oscillates across the AB Line. Heading Aggressiveness is set too high
and should be lowered.
- Ideal: If Heading speaks at the "ideal volume" to Steering, Steering responds just right to Heading's
commands, and the tractor does not oscillate or wander across the AB Line. Heading
Aggressiveness is set correctly.
- Too Low: If Heading speaks "too softly" to Steering, Steering is not responsive enough to Heading's
command and the tractor wanders across the AB Line. Heading Aggressiveness is set too low and
should be increased.

Motor Aggressiveness adjusts how
aggressively Steering turns the steering wheel
left and right. The higher Motor Aggressiveness
is set, the quicker and more responsive Steering
turns the steering wheel. The lower the Motor
Aggressiveness is set, the more lazily Steering
turns the steering wheel. Motor Aggressiveness
should be set as high as possible so that the
steered wheels move quickly, but not so quickly
that the wheels are jittery.
Heading Aggressiveness does two things:
- First, it adjusts how loudly that Heading gives commands
to Steering.
- Second, it tightens the tolerance which Heading tries to
keep the tractor's heading within.
The higher Heading Aggressiveness is set, the
louder Heading talks to Steering and the tighter it
tries to keep the tractor's heading tolerance. Lowering
Heading Aggressiveness lowers the volume at which
Heading talks to Steering and loosens the tractor's
heading tolerance. Heading Aggressiveness should
be set as high as possible so that the tractor does not
oscillate or wander across the AB Line.
