System Wide Notes

• Diagnostics of compressors - "My compressor won't stop running, or, my compressor wont kick on."
• Specialty crop and seed corn setup best practices.
• GPS resources, if there is a display that we don't have a document on and you figure out how to connect and where to set it up in the OEM display, please grab screenshots and let us know the steps that were taken to create a document on it.

.1

• If you are on .1, please keep up to date on software updates.
• specialty crops and seed corn setups and crop change. Different processes in .1 than in .0 softwares.
• If you have a frame mounted lift switch (primarily whisker switches), you need to do the calibration. If it calibrates to 0 and 100, then put manual percentages in for 5 lowered and 95 lifted.

All systems

• Resources used often - Setup Videos, Dealer Service Manual, Operation Manuals (RowFlow as an example).
• FieldView not connected - Check app version is up to date, hard reset of iPad, make sure fvm is green in diagnose page on gen 3, if it seems to be the ipad chord use anker as a brand.

24.0.X notes

• When setting up a vApplyHD system that is either turbines removed or EMHD you must change the flow source for ALL rows. Setup - systems - liquid application - vApplyHD - continue to vApplyHD Module Assignements - flow source on far right side.

.1 notes

• 1.7 relieves the need for a Rate Control Module to be set up for HD's to function on an uncontrolled system.
• auto-loading failing is being addressed.

Talking points for this episode are:

• SRM diagnostics – break the system down as normal to isolate the issue. This does apply to diagnosing a 2150 as well.
• It never hurts to have a your configs backed up and in the cab. Whether you are updating to a .0 branch or once you update to a .1 branch and get it set up correctly, export your configurations and keep them in the cab.
• When setting up a liquid system with HD’s on it, rate controller.  must be configured whether present or not.

2024.1.X Specific

• Sprayers need to be on .1.6 available on the cloud.
• If you are running on .1, stay up to date on the software updates. It helps us validate fixes we are putting into software but also will provide a better .1 experience.
• When setting up a liquid system, we have to select the correct style of Rate Control Module as well as the correct mode for the Rate Control Module (base/HD).
• When changing crop, be sure to change in the fields tab, products tab, active rows in equipment, as well as making sure we are changing our seeds/disk (the last page of vDrive setup).

Talking points for this episode are:

-Recommendations on when to update a Gen 2 to 2020.0.4

-If someone says their SmartDepth calibration wont do the offset portion (.0 or .1 software) make sure the 2020 shows the planter lowered.

-Make sure liquid pressure sensor module and rate controller are plugged into same row/location with the same jumper color

-Internal battery failure warning on Gen 3

-Flow rate adjustments-use the worksheet attached here and available on the cloud under vapply->install resources. It is worth reading over it in advance.

-Watch out for growers getting CAN A and B swapped when hooking up to a planter for the first time.

-Gen 3 on .1 software, make sure that the 16" display is being plugged into a DBM on .1 software before connecting for the first time.

-Gen 3 on .1, be sure to select the row unit type in the planter profile or DeltaForce load cells will show up yellow. Also make sure they are zeroed.

-Gen 3 on .0 or .1 software, make sure that there is a control widget set up and enabled for every product, even for products like flowsense and smartconnectors.

Drew and Tyler welcome into the studio two of Product Support's own, Allen Huber and Matt Locklear, as they tackle the question of what resources are best used during spring. From product resources to other team members, we get an inside look on what our support team does when taking phone calls.

Radicle Agronomics, a term that has been used around Precision for the last year or so, but what is it? Product Support member Eli Sloneker joins Nate and Freya as they discuss what all is included in Radicle Agronomics, how it is impacting our view of soil testing, and what the future is looking like for Radicle with Precision.

Planning an agronomy day can be a challenge for anyone. Planning your first agronomy day can be even more daunting from when to have it, what to focus on, and how to create the best experience for our growers. Tyler and Hans have a phone call with Bill Lehmkuhl with Precision Agri Services and Blake Reynolds with Reynolds Ag Solutions as they look at what their views are when it comes to putting an agronomy day on. As they tie everything up Tyler and Hans bring on Jason Portner, Precision Planting Region Manager, as he brings in his own views on agronomy days.

Tristan Herrmann from R&D, Ken Sauder (Nothern Illinois Region Manager), and Hans Stutzman (Product Support) join host Tyler Hubert to discuss what they look for to determine Reveal, DeltaForce, and FurrowForce have been set properly in field. They also pass along what they look for next in the event that the "Standard Setting" does not have the desired effect.

It's that time of year again, planter clinics and shop meetings will be here before we know it. In this episode, hosts Freya Watson and Tyler Hubert are joined by Jack Bartholomew and Melissa Mohr from Bottom Line Solutions in Morton, Illinois. Jack and Melissa share what the value has been to their business and their customers businesses by having monitor and planter clinics. They also share the tips and tricks they have learned to make these meetings a great experience for attendees.

The world of fertilizer is always changing. Products being offered, application methods, and new findings in research. Nate is joined by Stu Hirt as they discuss some of the high level ins and outs of biologicals as they are entering the market. What are they? What are the benefits and costs? And how can we utilize them and available programs to make our operation better?
