John Deere Boundary Recording Setup and Benefits

An informative video of setting up your John Deere Gator to perform accurate boundary recording by first measuring your planter and implements. Next it covers how to verify your measurements on your Gator or machine you plan on using to record boundaries. Also covers the benefits of accurate boundaries such as Turn Automation, snapping to an interior boundary, AutoPath, and Passive Implement Guidance.
Special thanks to Glen Oetken at ‪@JohnDeere‬ for allowing me to put this video together to guide other farmers towards machine automation and beyond.

Nice. Glad to see im not the only one who does this. I did one up you & have an ATU300 in my 835R. , 6000 RTK.

[@4930driver]

Very nicely done sir

[@jeramerief]

How did you get the ATU300 to work?

[@4930driver]

Since the plug in gator is different than the tractors for display harness,, i changed it over to make it like the tractors. Then had Ag Express make me a display harness with the adapter harness for the atu300

[@alexmachin8202]

Do you not put a front implement off as that is recording from the edge but only where the dome is lined up

[@jeramerief]

For a Gator or Tractor you don't have to add an Implement. Its recording either directly to the left or right of the globe based on inches you tell it to record. Some people put the globe on the front/left of Gator and tell the display to record 6" to the left of it. Then you can drive into corners and "square" them up a little better.

So did you tell the display to record the boundary 32" from centerline of the gator?

[@jeramerief]

Correct. So the left edge of the tire is the "boundary". And if on 30" corn, the steering wheel is roughly where the corn row will be (15" in from the tire)

@@jeramerief Thank you, this video was VERY helpful to me.

​@@jeramerief did you record any AB lines at the same time? Wouldn't that AB be 32" off the boundary then rather than right on it?

[@icbarbulescu]

how big is the area that you can cover in one hour? How much time will take for me to measure boundaries for 100 ha?

[@jeramerief]

Hard to say because it's based on complexity. A perfectly square 160 acres I can do in 20 minutes. But a complex 40 acres with terraces and waterways can take over an hour. When you pause and resume at each pole, tree, or property marker, you can drive as fast as you can in between each mark. So it goes pretty fast.
