How accurate is the AgGPS Parallel Swathing Option?
Initial field trials comparing GPS and foam marker guidance show that when using the AgGPS Parallel Swathing Option, skilled equipment operators regularly achieved less than 1.5% overlap and skip. The cross track error in open fields is on the order of 2 ft (0.6 m). However, results will vary depending on operator driving skill and the DGPS correction quality. These tests were completed using an 80 ft (24m) boom.
