Manual scope
This manual covers the AFS Field Performer functions for
the large tractor application. The manual assumes that
you have read and understood the contents of the display
manual in preparation for this manual.
Your manuals have changed to a layered approach to
match the layered architecture in your new farming soft-
ware. Each manual builds on the knowledge learned in
the previous manual; the display manual is required read-
ing for this application manual.
This application manual is organized as follows:
• Chapter 2 explains the control and reporting win-
dows available from the Field Performer application
for monitoring productivity and performance during
crop production.
• Chapter 3 explains how to use software features for
the remote valves, rear hitch, Automatic Productivity
Management (APM) and auto-PTO.
• Chapter 4 explains how to use the Field Performer
application to monitor productivity and performance;
how to use the electronic End of Row (EOR) sys-
tem; and how to use the service and maintenance
features.

Status and warning icons
The left hand area is visible on all screens and is split
into three areas for your tractor:
• the status icon area (1),
• the horizontal sequence bar used with the electronic
End Of Row (EOR) system (2). See 4-18 for infor-
mation on this feature,
• and the window area providing operator selected
performance information, productivity information or
maps (3).
RCIL09DSP064BAG 1
Six status icons are specific to the large tractor application
and display in the status area when appropriate.
Implement position icons show the
current position of the hitch-mounted
or towed implement. The up arrow
indicates the implement is raised.
The down arrow indicates the
implement is lowered. Implement
position is determined by the
position of the hitch, the position of
the EHR #1 lever or by input from
the implement status switch.
This area control icon flashes
whenever the Area Control ON/OFF
window is set to off. The operator
must turn area control on to
accumulate any area or time data for
the current task.
The roading icon displays whenever
the operator selects on in the Road
Mode window to indicate the vehicle
is roading to or from the field for the
task. The icon disappears whenever
the selection in the Road Mode
window is changed to off.
Service alert icons inform an
operator when scheduled service or
maintenance is approaching. The
icons count down from 10 hours to 1
hour when a service interval is about
to expire.
When service is due, the icon
changes to a flashing service
wrench. See 4-29 for more
information on the icons and the
maintenance functions within the
large tractor application.

Home screen
The icons on the home screen organize the screens for
all farming applications by their function.
Any vehicle specific software (for example, autoguidance,
performance, planting, or harvesting software) can add its
components to these navigation icons.

Press the Toolbox icon to access screens for setting dis-
play preferences and operator preferences, for customiz-
ing the Run screens, for setting up the GPS receiver, etc.
The selections vary with the applications installed. The
Toolbox provides the location where shared tools used by
other applications can be configured.

all applications resident on the display. These are the
screens normally used while operating the equipment.
NOTE: The names for the Run screen navigation icons
cannot be edited.
Press the Diagnostics icon to access screens for check-
ing software revisions, controller status, specific sensor
signals, resource usage, GPS signal status (if equipped),
GPS receiver interface (if equipped), and for checking and
clearing fault codes.

cle and application specific calibrations such as distance,
area, crop, steering sensor, etc.

Field Performer windows
The Field Performer windows from the Precision Farming
and Trip Computer applications may be placed on any of
the Run and/or Summary screens or the left hand area as
indicated. Refer to the display manual and its explanation
of the Run Layout screen in the Toolbox to review window
placement.
Area/work control and reporting windows
The Area, Work and Road Control windows determine
how all information is gathered on area and time spent
in work and out of work for the current task. This infor-
mation is used then to calculate fuel economy, power and
productivity.
RCIL09DSP001BAG 2
Area On/Off
Placement label: Area On/Off
Placement location: Run screens or left hand area
The Area On/Off window is used to determine whether
area and time are accumulated for the current task.
DGPS spatial data provides distance and time informa-
tion. Swath width is determined by selecting an Imple-
ment to perform the work. The Area On/Off window then
determines whether work data is accumulated for area
and time reporting windows. This window acts as the
master control for whether production data is accumu-
lated. RCIL09DSP002BAA 3
The Area On/Off window has two
settings: OFF and ON. Press the Area
On/Off window to access the pop-up
options window.
Press the desired option.
When Area On/Off is set to OFF, area and time data are
not accumulated for the current task. When Area On/Off
is set to ON, area and time data is accumulated for the
current task.

12. 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS
Work Control
Placement label: Work Control
Placement location: Run screens or left hand area
With the Area On/Off window set to ON, the Work Control
window determines when area and time are accumulated
for the current task.
RCIL09DSP003BAA 5
Work control operates automatically based on the input
from the hitch position sensor, EHR #1 lever position or
the implement status switch. Choose the desired input in
the Implement Type window at Home > Toolbox > Impl.
See 3-11 for information about implement setup.
When the implement is lowered, the Work Control window
will read “ON.” When the implement is raised, the Work
Control window will read “OFF.”
Information is gathered on area and time for the current
task whenever the tractor is moving and one of three
conditions is present:
• "Hitch Implement" is selected for the implement
type, and the hitch is down as sensed by the stan-
dard hitch position sensor,
• "EHR 1 Implement" is selected for the implement
type, and the lever for EHR #1 is in the retract or
float position,
• or the implement status switch, if equipped, indi-
cates the implement is down.
Although the Work Control window has two settings – ON
or OFF – automatic operation begins based on the posi-
tion of the implement, regardless of the current selection
in the window.
RCIL09DSP003BAG 6
With the implement raised, if Area On/Off is turned ON
and work control is turned OFF, data accumulation will
begin when the implement is lowered the first time.
With the implement raised, if Area On/Off is turned ON
and work control is turned ON, data accumulation will be-
gin when the tractor is moved. Automatic operation will
begin the first time the operator lowers and raises the im-
plement.
RCIL09DSP003BAG 7

13. 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS
The OFF selection is normally used by the operator to
temporarily stop data accumulation while the implement
is lowered. The may be required to cross a non-arable
section of the field or when driving an overlapping pass.
Press the Work Control window to access the pop-up op-
tions window. Select “OFF” from the option window to
temporarily stop data accumulation. Press the window
again to return work control to automatic operation.
RCPH11DSP100BAG 8
Road Mode
Placement label: Road Mode
Placement location: Run screens or left hand area
The gathered information from the Area On/Off and Work
Control windows is further separated into working time
and distance as opposed to roading time and distance by
use of the Road Mode window.
The Road Mode window is used by the operator to indi-
cate when roading occurs for the current task. The Road
Mode window has two settings: ON or OFF. Based on
this window’s setting, the software tracks the distance and
time spent roading for the current task separately from the
distance and time spent working.
RCIL09DSP005BAG 9
Press the Road Mode window to access
the pop-up options window. Press the
desired option. Select ON while the
tractor is roading. An icon displays in the
Status area to indicate that Road Mode
is ON. Select OFF when the tractor is
not roading.
