<span style="font-size: 16px;">**Cause:**</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">There are many ways in which a system can collect bad data points. This could be due to the tractor being parked at the shed with the linkage down. When the tractor is started and the recording source is set to the linkage. The system will record a couple of points at the location. You will not know that at the time but when you bring that data into T3RRA Design Plus you will see the field to be all one color.</span>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">**Solution:**</span>
