John Deere with iTEC Pro automatically turns at the headland

Ride in the cab as this JD8530 with GPS-controlled iTEC Pro turns at the headland with minimal intervention from the driver - all he has to do is press a button in response to a double-bleep to confirm each automatic manouvre, although even if he didn't the tractor would continue on its way but would continue to bleep until the button is pressed. In this example, the implement being used was a Vaderstad 4m TopDown and the system was set up for a 25m headland and a 6m turning radius.

why does it cut the last straight in half ? was it too wide for 1 width?

I've a feeling that because this was a field demo with limited land, the tractor/cultivator combination was working with a fair bit of overlap.

Can the system reverse the tractor at the headland when there is limited space?
