MACHINERY FOR WORKING IN THE FIELD

Abstract

The term "field work machine" refers to a machine working in a field that performs predetermined tasks within a field work area, which includes both a work area and a non-work area. This field work machine consists of a moving body that follows a first straight path ending at the boundary between the work area and the non-work area, and a second straight path starting at the boundary between the work area and the non-work area. In this order, the positioning unit outputs the position of the field work machine as positioning information based on positioning signals from a positioning satellite. The control unit switches the steering mode of the moving body according to the user's operation between automatic steering mode, where the moving body is steered automatically, and manual steering mode, where the user manually steers the moving body. The control unit also notifies the operator if the steering mode of the moving body is automatic.Inform the user that the machine body has moved into the bcn-end region between the reference position established on the first straight path and the end of the first straight path.
