Automatic target control

Set a target value of weight that the operator wants to maintain between the ground and the gauge wheels on each row. The system will adjust the applied force and/or lift as needed on each row independent of each other to maintain the target value that was set. All DeltaForce adjustments will be based on the load cell readings measuring the weight on each gauge wheel.

Select between:

  • Light
  • Standard
  • Heavy
  • Custom

For recommendations on how to set DeltaForce and what automatic setting to use, refer to the section of this manual on how to set DeltaForce.

Light

The light target is 50 lbs. This means the system will target 50 lbs of force between the gauge wheel and the ground.

Manual mode

The DeltaForce system may also be operated in manual mode. This control mode allows the operator to designate a desired force for the system to maintain.

Enter both a lift force and down force value

When using manual mode, weigh pin readings are not taken into account and all cylinders will apply a single force to all rows until manually changed by the operator. Use the plus and minus arrows to adjust the lift and down force targets. Net applied force will be displayed at the top of the screen.

System PSI displays the current PSI reading from the pressure sensor located on the DeltaForce lift manifold.

If the DeltaForce system is not functioning and all requirements for running it have been met, use the troubleshooting trees in the Dealer Service Manual for assistance.
