John Deere - AutoSwap wind compensation

Autoswap is John Deere's unique automatic wind compensation feature for residue management. Now, operators don't need to remember to reset the tailboard vanes direction manually at Headland turns using your mirrors or rear camera. If fitted, simply set the direction of the tailboard vanes to create an even residue spread. Then engage auto swap using the combine's Starfire GPS receiver. Autoswap will automatically change the direction of the tailboard vanes based on the combine's position, so you'll get evenly spread residue whatever the wind direction. And one less thing to worry about at Headland turns. Autoswap also ensures chaff is not accidentally blown into the adjacent standing crop. This proves prevents reduced combine performance caused by picking up excess material other than grain on its return pass. More importantly, properly distributed residue reduces the need for additional tillage and promotes even seed growth. This can bring significant savings of around €35 per hectare on tillage costs.
