The Pro-700 has a "Field" swath type that is generated from the boundary that you can use for headland passes. It's semi useful. For whatever reason it picks a random spot on the boundary to shift over to the next pass, which is super annoying. Typical example of something that was engineered by someone with no farming experience. They should have just created concentric curve paths (concentric to the boundary) instead, as a farmer is going to do his own shifting from one headland pass to another when and where he wants. And none of the systems I've used understand how farmers farm around pivots.

I have AccuTurn unlocked on my sprayer on the Pro 700 but rarely use it. Like @kauppfarms said, it's not easy to set up. You have to have a boundary first, then you have to create a "headland" and enable that. Basically AccuTurn triggers on crossing into the headland. I don't think the turns it creates are always the same. In other words if you did herbicide pass one with it turning for you, on pass two a few weeks later I don't think it will follow the same track exactly unless speeds were precisely the same. By the way I've never quite understood guys doing two headland passes for spraying because that would tramp a lot of crop down. Sprayers are wide and capable of turning relatively tightly, so turning onto the single headland tracks makes the most sense to me... but are there any auto turn systems that can do that other than Brian Tischler's homemade AgOpenGPS?

But the main reason I don't use AccuTurn is because it doesn't work well with pivot circles. I used to always do a single headland and turn on the headland track as exactly as I could, minimizing crop destruction. AccuTurn could never do that (minimize the amount of crop tramped down). Now I have changed the way I do things a little. I spray a single headland pass and turn like I did before for the widest part of the circle, but as soon as I have room in the corners to turn aound (usually about 3 or 4 passes out from the center line of the field), I now drive straight through and turn outside the field boundary. If you haven't farmed a pivot circle that might not make sense! Anyway AccuTurn definitely cannot do that!
