Safety
Operate Guidance Systems Safely
Never get on or off a moving vehicle.
•
•
Verify the machine, implement, and guidance system
are set up correctly. If using iTEC Pro, verify accurate
boundaries have been defined.
Remain alert and pay attention to the surrounding
environment.
Take control of the steering wheel, when necessary, to
avoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or other
obstacles.
Stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your
ability to operate the machine or identify people or
obstacles in the machine path.
Do not use guidance systems on roadways. Always turn
off (disable) guidance systems before entering a roadway.
Do not attempt to turn on (activate) a guidance system
while transporting on a roadway.
•
•
Guidance systems are intended to aid the operator in
performing field operations more efficiently. The operator
is always responsible for the machine path.
•
•
Guidance Systems include any application that automates
vehicle steering. This includes, but may not be limited to,
AutoTrac, iGuide, iTEC Pro, ATU, and RowSense.
Consider field conditions, visibility, and vehicle
configuration when selecting vehicle speed.
To prevent injury to the operator and bystanders:
JS56696,0000970 -19-10MAY11-1/1
Use Seat Belt Properly
Use a seat belt when you operate with a roll-over
protective structure (ROPS) or cab to minimize chance of
injury from an accident such as an overturn.
Do not use a seat belt if operating without a ROPS or cab.
Replace entire seat belt if mounting hardware, buckle,
belt, or retractor show signs of damage.
Inspect seat belt and mounting hardware at least
once a year. Look for signs of loose hardware or belt
damage, such as cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear,
discoloration, or abrasion. Replace only with replacement
parts approved for your machine. See your John Deere
dealer.

Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
Surface Water Pro is a two modular program—basic and
advanced. Surface Water Pro (basic program) is designed
for users to create levees and develop basic ditches
in their fields. Surface Water Pro Plus is an advanced
ditching program that generates a “best fit drain”. Surface
Water Pro Plus calculates the most effective drain in a field
while moving the least amount of soil. This information
is generated from vertical GPS signals calculated from
StarFire 3000 or StarFire iTC receivers. Surface Water
Pro Plus requires both a machine and implement receiver
and cannot operate with just an implement receiver.
Levee applications require John Deere RTK, and ditching
requires either SF2 or RTK signal. For greater accuracy,
we highly recommend the RTK solution.
Surface Water Pro features available on the GS3 display
and our Apex Desktop Software provide value by offering
ways to manage your topographic data better and ensure
optimum water distribution for crop production. Apex
Surface Water Pro features allow you to unload your GS3
survey data to generate Depression, Flow Direction, and
Drainage maps utilizing GSDNet. You can also manage
your Ditch and Levee Tracks from year to year by editing
cut, slope, or drop of fall. Additionally, layering your
ditch or levee tracks over your yield data displays your
results from the work you completed. See your local John
to learn more about these additional features for your
Surface Water Pro program.
NOTE: For best accuracy, recalibrate benchmark after
power cycling the quick survey and absolute base
station. When starting up the base station, the
point of reference could shift slightly, so for the
high-accuracy user, consider recalibrating.
Reprogram receivers (Surface Water Pro Plus) at the
vehicle receiver location. Each receiver must be updated
individually every time a software update is available
[3.20D or older]. You cannot have both receivers attached
to the wiring harness when reprogramming.
Operating with an absolute survey base station
reduces the need for benchmarking. In quick
survey mode, anytime the base is moved or
power is cycled, another calibration is required
for high accuracy users.
IMPORTANT: A StarFire iTC receiver, or newer, is
required for Surface Water Pro.
Surface Water Pro Plus does not support an
Implement Receiver Only configuration. Do
not run ditching with an implement receiver
only—both a Machine & Implement receiver
must be used to operate that software.
John Deere implement mounts must be used
because they reduce vibration and minimize
hardware failures. Vibration mounts help
minimize hardware failures over time, especially
in ditching applications.
Surface Water Pro and Pro Plus Survey
function is NOT compatible with Swath Control
Pro. Do not use the survey function in
conjunction with Swath Control Pro.
Record ditches from HIGH TO LOW elevation.
Cut ditches in either direction.
Surface Water Pro and Pro Plus is NOT
compatible with iGuide Do not use in
conjunction with iGuide.
To ensure highest system accuracy, do not operate
Surface Water Pro and Pro Plus outside a ONE
MILE radius of the Base Station.

Machine and Implement Setup
NOTE: Machine Turn Radius and Turning Sensitivity
are for use with iTEC Pro only.
Machine Turn Radius—How sharp the machine can
turn without an implement attached and without applying
brake pressure. The turn radius is half the diameter as
measured at the center of the rear axle of a row crop
tractor, and the pivot point on tracks and 4WD tractors.
Example: 8030 wheel tractors have a minimum turn
radius of 6.1—6.7 m (20—22 ft). Choose a number to
start with and change as needed for accuracy.
Turning Sensitivity—AutoTrac gain setting when the
vehicle is in an automated turn. This is adjustable by the
operator to improve performance (default 70).

dimension is critical for accurate ditch designs.
Remember: Always measure to the same

of implement. This is the lateral distance from the center
of the tractor to the center of the implement which will
be 0.0 for most common implements. This dimension is
used to alert the operator to potential collisions. This is
critical for proper end-turn performance and may need
to be adjusted.
Remember: Always measure to the exact
same place on the receiver when measuring
(that is, top, middle, and others.).
D) In-line distance from connection point to control
•
point of implement. In many cases, this distance will be
from the connection point to the carrying wheels. For
proper turns, measure this distance with implement at
the height it typically will be at while turning.
NOTE: For a rotary ditcher, dimension (C) refers to
the distance from the receiver to the cutting
edge. On a rotary ditcher the cutting edge is the
bottom of the paddle wheel, since this contacts
the soil first. This dimension could be adjusted
depending on individual requirements.
NOTE: These dimensions may need to be adjusted
for fine-tuning performance in the field.
IMPORTANT: Ensure vertical distance (D) is measured
from the GPS receiver to the ground when the
implement is in the FULLY RAISED position.

of potential collisions if there are times the
implement is wider than the dimension entered
(e.g. marker arm lowered). If markers are used

(working) width, a message will appear as a
reminder that this is not usually correct (A 16R30
planter is physically wider than its 12.2 m (40 ft)
working width). An example where the working
width is wider than the physical width is a dry

from the ground to the middle of the receiver (inches).
Dimension C—measure from the middle of the receiver to
the cutting edge.
IMPORTANT: Always measure to the exact same
place on the receiver when measuring.
Enter 0 for the For and Aft dimension for the implement
receiver if the receiver is mounted over the cutting
edge—this space is reserved for future enhancement.
StarFire 3000 Receiver
For optimized performance make the Hours On After
Shutdown the same value as on the machine receiver
(24 is recommended).
Perform a TCM calibration each time the receiver
is moved to a different implement or vehicle.
The implement TCM is used for determining
vertical position of the blade.
NOTE: When performing a TCM calibration on the
implement receiver, the wheels of the main frame,
to which the implement receiver is mounted,
need to be in the same location after turning
implement around so the right-hand wheels are
in the same place as where the left-hand wheels
were. A smooth level surface is recommended
while performing a TCM calibration.
For more information refer to your StarFire 3000 operators

Survey
How to Survey a Field
Flatter fields — a track spacing of 15 m (50 ft.) is
recommended.
Flat to precision leveled ground — a track spacing of
15—30 m (50—100 ft.).
•
Surface Water Pro provides a Survey tab for the purpose
of performing a field survey. When a survey is performed,
the RCD (GS3) creates a survey file for the field that
contains a collection of data points. Each point represents
a specific latitude and longitude position within the field for
which an elevation value is stored.
•
Do not exceed 50 m (164 ft.) track spacing for
surveying purposes.
4. Two forms of Survey recording types are available:
The data collected can be valuable to create informational
maps. Any maps created from this data is only as good
as the quality of the data that creates it. In order to create
quality maps from your field survey data, be sure to
perform your field survey to the highest quality. As a start,
please observe the following guidelines as a minimum for
performing a field survey.
Distance Base—ideal for low speed surveys and
consistently spaced at user-defined distances.
Time Based—suited to higher speed surveying and
the distance between the points varies with the
speed at which the survey is recorded.
•
•
5. Ensure that the entire field has been covered. Do not
skip parts of the field because they are inaccessible
due to wet or muddy conditions; you are in a hurry;
you think you do not have time to finish properly. This
has a negative impact on the quality of your maps
generated from your collected data. It is important to
cover the entire field.
1. Use the correct differential correction for your
application. It is recommended an RTK correction
be used for the highest accuracy and quality survey
data. An SF2 correction is allowed for surveying your
fields, but only after consulting your dealer to see if
it is right for your application. An RTK correction is
always utilized for flat to rolling field terrain. Using
an inappropriate differential correction for collecting
elevation data leads to inaccurate maps.
6. It is also a good idea to survey the bottom of existing
ditches within the field, and at a minimum ditches with
measurable width and depth. Utilizing parallel tracking
with straight track can cause the user to miss areas
of interest for surveying, for example the bottom of
a main ditch which can have measurable width and
depth.
2. Make the first pass very close to the exterior field
boundary, when collecting survey data, to ensure
sufficient data around the perimeter of the field. Make
the second pass around the field boundary but slightly
offset inward from the first pass. Offset the second
pass approximately 15 m (50 ft.).
Survey Mode is designed to allow an operator to collect
elevation and position data as a separate operation. From
this data, topographical information can be created and
displayed. The accuracy level while surveying determines
the accuracy of the topographical maps. Elevation
data points can also be obtained for log files created
while performing field operations such as planting and
combining.
3. Conducting a thorough survey can be done by
setting up straight track lines and parallel tracking
off them through the field. Set up straight track
lines with intervals depending on the field being
surveyed.
Fields with significant elevation changes and slopes
— track spacing of 7.5—15 m (25—50 ft.) is
recommended.
•
NOTE: Survey Mode is not allowed with Swath Control Pro.
