Row Follow takes control of the steering to keep the MK-V centered in the middle of the row, enabling you to focus on controlling the implement and your operation.
Please Note: If the row has young vines with minimal or no foliage, Row Follow will not recognize the row. We are expanding the range of working conditions and will make them available in future software updates.
For your best experience with Row Follow, use it only in the conditions specified below.
Using Row Follow is easy:
-
As you enter a row: adjust the implement (Lower 3PT, Turn ON PTO, etc.)
-
Press the Row Follow button at the bottom left of the Smart Screen to activate Row Follow.
-
You can control the MK-V's speed and implement while the tractor stays centered in the row.
-
When you get to the end of the row, toggle the steering wheel to take back control and end Row Follow or the MK-V will stop on its own to ensure safety. Avoiding the need for the MK-V to come to a full stop will keep your operation moving efficiently.
-
Adjust implement (Raise 3PT, Turn OFF PTO, etc.)
-
Steer the MK-V to the next row.
-
Repeat steps 1 to 6 for every row until you finish your operation.
Collision Avoidance in Row Follow:
-
Collision Avoidance is always ON by default, and the tractor will automatically stop if it detects any obstacles.
-
You can choose to turn Collision Avoidance OFF if there are too many stoppages based on your in-row conditions. Always use caution when operating the MK-V when Collision Avoidance is OFF.
MK-V health issues:
In the event of a tractor health issue, please follow these steps:
-
Wait for 2 minutes or continue operating manually to see if the issue is resolved.
-
The MK-V will auto-resume once an issue gets self-resolved.
-
If the Row Follow button still does not appear, please reboot the tractor.
-
If the health issue persists, please contact Monarch by filing a service ticket on the MK-V smart screen.
