Watch this video to learn how to deliver a load of feed using Fusion.
Time: 3:35
Alright, let's get ready to feed some cattle since our truck is loaded with feed. If it's not already open, just tap the "Bunk Calls/Deliver Load" button in the main menu to open the "Bunk Call/Feed Delivery" window.
When delivering feed, the scale indicator works just like when you were loading—the small number in the upper left shows the actual weight on the truck, and the large number is the smart weight that adjusts based on the situation. For instance, when you're delivering feed to a pen, Fusion sets the smart weight to match the pen's target weight. This way, it counts down towards zero, making it easy for you to hit the target every time.
Below that, you'll find the "Pen Focus" window, which lists the pens that need feed. Fusion only displays the pens that match the ration on the truck and still require feed for the current pass. However, you can modify this using the Filter if needed.
On the right side, you'll see the "Feed Delivery" tab. Currently, it's covered by the "Feed Guard" warning because the truck hasn't reached the selected pen yet. When GPS is enabled, Feed Guard helps prevent accidentally feeding the wrong pen.
Now that we've arrived at the correct pen, you'll notice the Feed Guard warning disappears, revealing the delivery controls. Towards the top, there's the "Target Quantity" field. Fusion sets this automatically, but you can adjust it if necessary. The smart weight will reflect the changes you make.
Below that, you can see the feed deliveries that have already been made to this pen today.
As the driver begins delivering feed, the "Delivery Guide" appears. When the feed is discharged at the optimal speed, the blue and green lines will align. Following this guide will help distribute the feed evenly along the bunk and reduce the need to back up.
Once this pen is done, simply tap "Record Weight" and then "Next Pen" to automatically move to the next pen on the list. The pens are listed in your drive order, so this is usually what you want. However, you can tap any pen in the list to select it.
Notice how the Feed Guard warning appears again until the truck is beside the selected pen. Also, observe how the smart weight now reflects the new target weight.
Let's watch another delivery.
After tapping "Record Weight," do you see how the delivery just made is listed in bold? This means it hasn't been committed to memory yet. If a mistake was made, you can still undo the delivery. You can also deliver more and tap "Record Weight" again to add to it. Once another pen is selected, the delivery is committed to memory and can't be changed.
When the truck is empty, simply tap "Mix New Load" to start creating another load.
