Now I want to hear from you guys what your precision systems are and how they are working for you.. currently we at Schwartz Farms are trying to move our selves into RTK and the CORS network through Trimble problem is we have three green combines 1 newer the 2nd is 10-11 years old and the other is a dinosaur and the newer one being the only one with yield mapping through waas signal using original brown box from JD ( never right ). Next we have 2 Planting tractors both have 20/20 seed sense systems from precision no GPS. Sprayer we have a XLRD 1000 Pull Type pulled by a JD 4430 with a INSight and an EZ-Guide 500 waas signal. Spreader truck we have a Insight along with EZ- Guide Plus. Now I must say that it looks like we just put a down payment on a 06 Apache with auto steer by Raven. Also a new red combine is probably coming this fall 8120 Case and we are talking about buying a new corn planter also.. we put a lot of tile in we bought a tile plow.. No GPS also we have a 8530 JD autosteer ready for doing a lot of tillage and side dressing corn with anhydrous. 9520 T John Deere does a good majority of the tillage and also runs the tile plow. Now you see my situation figure out a plan for that to move into RTK lol In my mind I think we would be best to stick with one company like Trimble or Agleader I like Trimble's GPS but I hear there application control and the records and record keeping is crap.. and I also am probably switching from Easi Suite to SMS software. So tell me what you think and what plan you would do thanks..
After several years on SF2 we switched to RTK. Huge difference. We are all green so no big decision there. I would hate to even think where to go in your case.
We run all green as well. We have been using RTK. We are really happy with it so far. Not sure what to tell you. It sounds like you have a few different systems in operation maybe?
Get a rep with every company to contact you. Ag leader,Ravens,Greenstar and have them give you there reccommedations.
We are sort of in the same boat. Have a 8400 with greenstar brown box tracking. In that same tractor we also have a planter monitior and a 660 ravens controler for the manure tank. We have a second 8400 with a 660 ravens monitor for the sprayer and a 660 monitor for the manure tank. Have trimble auto steer in the MT765 and a agleader yeild monitor in the 9660sts. I am tring to talk dad into going all ravens. Because then we only have to change the planter monitor out. The other harness from the other conttrolers should just be plug and play.
