Anyone using AgLeader OPTRX for variable rate N? Customer wants to go liquid fert, Bateman has AgLeader controller and N Sensor doesn't talk to it so need to look at other options

Yes run them for 4 full seasons on 5th and really pleased with them. Worked straight out the box and really straight forward to use. We run in conjunction with KRM spreader but will work with our sprayer as fitted with Agleader controller. What else would you like to know?

I think you are right can't see they will want all that agro with a £150K sprayer
X20 auto steer is very old, the screens themselves have been out of production for nearly a year. Personally. If you like Topcon speak to us about future full machine solutions such as x30 and x25
Cropspec is the future for nitrogen sensing and plant health. Other systems use x20.... A screen that is out of production... Cropspec will work on x30 or x25

I am using both yara N-Sensor and AgLeader optrex , i have used the N-Sensor for 5 years naw and the AgLeader optrex for the first time this season, i am undecided witch is the better system for the actual she feeing of N in the crop being scanned, The N-Sensor is A grate of tool and would be fantastic if it was ISO, but the X20 that works the N-Sensor is the only gripe I have with that system, in my opinion it is the most temperamental platform I have had to use in a long time, it certainly Carnot come close to the AgLeader, The AgLeader system is match simpler to use and seems more "farmer friendly" in the ease of use bracket compared to the X20,

Carnt say i have ever used an X30, just had a big change in sprayer controller and gps guidance wen the trade in offer was on last yearr,
Are you still using the Optrx sensors ? I just wondered how you use them, ie are they on the front of a tractor with a spreader on, or on a sprayer doing liquid, how many sensors you use and what modelling system it uses to determine rates. Thanks.
