General Pro 600 / Pro 700
These questions relate to general AFS Pro 600 / Pro 700 usage that is not specific to any individual operation. For example, a question like "How do I create a new Task?" will be found here, but a question like "How do I create a new swath?" will be found on the AFS AccuGuide page. Unless otherwise noted, all FAQs apply to both the AFS Pro 600 and AFS Pro 700.

Version 26 software for the AFS Pro 600 / AFS Pro 700 allows the Case IH displays to be connected to a Hardi 5500 rate controller for variable-rate and mapping functionality. The Case IH displays can also perform automatic section control when the 5500 controller is used in conjunction with a JobCom board.
The Case IH AFS Pro 600 / Pro 700 can also be used in conjunction with Raven SCS100/1000, Rawson Accu-Rate, and Flexi-Coil FlexControl II rate controllers. Contact your local Case IH dealer for more information!

Large Tractor software version 21.2 (and higher) enables data-logging and area-counting to be controlled via the primary hydraulic valve (EHR1).
In AFS Pro 600 Large Tractor software versions prior to v21.2, data-recording and area-counting (collectively referred to as Work Control) could be controlled via the three-point hitch (3PH). v21.2 continues this function and adds control via the EHR1.
In the AFS Pro 600 display, the operator uses the Implement Type window on the Toolbox > Implement screen to select the appropriate Work Control option for the current implement.
If "EHR 1 Implement" is selected, the implement is considered to be "working" when the primary remote valve is retracted or in float, and the implement is considered to be "not working" when the primary remote valve is extended.
If "Hitch Implement" is selected, the implement is considered to be "working" when the hitch is lowered, and "not working" when the hitch is raised, based on the Implement Working Depth set in the Work Condition > Hitch Notebook screen.
NOTE: v21.2 Large Tractor software may require updates to the software installed in other tractor controllers, to ensure that all features are available.
