I’m having troubles trying to configure an Intelliview just right. It was varying the products yesterday but today since I started the machine the farthest they I’ve gotten is getting the prescription maps up. The rates aren’t varying and are wrong. Anyone with experience with these?

You running latest software on the 700? New one came out about a year ago that is supposed to be a lot better.

Yes, version 33 the techs updated it a couple days ago. Two techs were out here for hours. Finally got it going but the tech said “don’t ask me how I did it”.

Now when I start computer up, it starts applying products at 35 lbs/ac instead of 80 which is the lowest rate. I have the min set at 80.

Do you have the applied % set right? Your materials or tank product can be told to apply at a percent of your Rx prescription. I used it when I only had one map but wanted to pull product out of all the tanks and run out at the same time. One would be 33% another 24% etc. Couldn't figure out why one year it kept trying to put down huge amounts of product. I forgot to put the decimal point in. Took some fresh eyes to find that one.

Don’t know anything about this applied %. Where is it found? Which tab?

I traded the drill so just going by memory. Toolbox then product. Rx scale factor. Found a quick guide ha. Same place it shows your min and max.

They are also finicky about where you are when you start the field. Need to be in the field before you create job.

You are in the same field as the day before but it quit working the next day? Maybe check what errors you have on the screen there too. Might be a new one you missed?

Is variable rate worth it? What is the pros of it? Argornomist did his thesis on it and says it doesn’t pay. Not agreeing or disagreeing. Just curious

Might be best to start a new thread or search for older ones.

Thanks for the ideas. New to us this

I’m just the hired operator, not the one paying the bills. Yes, IHARF found similar results twenty years ago. But every farm/field/soil is different. Maybe partly due to trading up to a newer cart and using it since it’s there.
