Subject: Can you fool terrain compensation (roll) for better implement steering? mojo, trimble?



East Troy, WI

I know, not ideal, but...

Drift (and ultimately the angle of attack i.e. the incident angle) on a given implement depends on draft and lateral forces.

I don't currently have any terrain compensation on anything, but can you fool the mounting position of the antenna so that the tractor end up predictably on the uphill side? It would seem i could predict the implement angle of attack fairly linearly with the slope of my side hill, with error i know, but first approximations gotta be better than nothing. I understand the forces change uphill versus downhill, just trying to get the average.

These systems seem over damped, so my guess would be i wouldn't get into oscillation problems, but has anyone tried this? Can you jockey the receiver installed height on any of the receivers? How about on a mojo system?
