I bought a new Outback S lite guidance set up for my 1850 to spray burndown on cover crop rye. I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong. I had it set and made the perimeter pass OK. I went around the field 2 times so I would have plenty of room to turn and find the signal before I turned the sprayer on. You are supposed to be able to switch from contour to straight line mode on the go. I started out after 2 passes around the field and switched to straight line mode and the light to drive by went out leaving me lost. I had pressed enter for A , probably forgot to push enter to set B at the end of the pass. It had me wandering all over, so I switched back to contour. I have the sensitivity set on medium, but as I go across the field, the center light goes out and either the red or green light comes on and as I try to get back in line, all the light go out for a second or 3 and then the lights start on one side of the arc and go clear across to the other side, eventually the center light comes back on. I think there will be several missed spots when the rye finally dies. Towards the end I wasn't looking where I was driving, I was glued to the center light trying to keep it on, I had been hearing a loud banging, the field was pretty rough, so I just figured the sprayer was bouncing around. I finally looked at the pressure guage and it's on 0. Stopped and look back and down, the back 1/2 of the PTO shaft is gone and the front 1/2 is banging around on the drawbar. Looks like a good time to quit since it's almost dark. I'm not sure if it will save the info if I turn it off, so I left it on . I'll have to take the pickup and drive around the field in the morning to find the PTO shaft and then try again. Man, if this wasn't so much fun, I'd just quit altogether!!! Chris

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
