Drive Over Piles
To measure a drive over pile, creating a surface with multiple clicks on the ground around the pile. If the ground significantly slopes around the pile, make sure you’re making enough clicks around the pile to compensate for the change in slope.
Sometimes there can be challenges with measuring these piles:
- Unusual ground sloping beneath the pile
- Two or more piles conjoined or overlapping
Ag Bags
To measure ag bags, there are two options:
- You can click the ground around the bag and measure the volume.
- You can precisely measure the length and apply a cubic foot per unit of length.
Sometimes there can be challenges with measure ag bags:
- The bags are too close together to accurately mark the ground.
- Grass or dirt may not allow you to accurately mark the ground.
Bunker Silos
To measure Bunkers, click around the edges of the feed in the bunker, and then adjust the elevation of surface so that it is under the feed.
Bunkers are the most difficult to measure. Usually there is a slope underneath that is difficult to measure accurately.
Trench Silos
To measure a Trench Silo, only click on the ground at each end of the feed. This will allow the surface to approximate the slope of the ground underneath the feed.
Sometimes there can be challenges with measuring Trench Silos:
- Unusual ground sloping beneath the feed
- Curved or sloped walls, not allowing for a straight edge of the surface
- Two or more piles conjoined or overlapping.
