[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1632357, member: 27848"] Forget the video. The extender that comes with the MOCO sets the drive angle of the PTO to equal lengths so that in turns you don't have lead-lag differences (constant velocity...like in CV joint) due to differences in shaft lengths. On the turn, I run up to where I see the rear axle of the tractor pass the uncut-cut interface and immediately do a quick, full 360* turn plus a little (which varies somewhat on each corner I make) of the steering wheel of my Ford 3910. This produces a slow arc (rather than something like a 150* immediate change in direction) where the tractor is heading back towards the uncut material. In assuming about the length of the tractor movement of the rear axle in this arc, I straighten back up with the Rrear tire aligned back alongside the cut-uncut interface. On turns exceeding 90*, I cut the corner, leaving about 18" to 2' that I have to come back and pickup, usually as I exit the field...idea here is to not to leave more width than can be picked up with one pass from the center of the patch to the edge on exiting.
