Is that section control auto rate jobbie?
Yes GPS auto section control through Amatron 3 controller.
Also run the fert spreader on the same system.
All works really well.
I'll get a picture tomorrow if it stays dry.

having my asc10 fitted to an old John Deere 512 sprayer next week and kv geospread should be coming next week too... this precision lark is meant to save money, it’s cost me a fortune so far lol

out of curiosity how many tonnes before the savings kick in. had the same comment from someone else recently and personally think the return is too low to be worthwhile. but I'm a grassland farmer so don't see the point maybe

I’m primarily a grassland farmer too and in all fairness I haven’t based the purchase of the spinner on saving anything. We have mostly odd shaped hilly fields here and the spinner is auto section control down to 2m and 4 weigh cells and just will be happy knowing that whatever I put out will be going out in the correct place. The section control for the sprayer I bought second hand for next to nothing which will make the sprayer auto section down to 3m so again knowing more that the overlaps are correct etc and less stress when operating will to me make it worth it.
As the Deutz came with the imonitor (Topcon x30) that has saved me the main bulk or upgrade cost on both the sprayer and spinner as they’re unlocked to section control without having to pay a penny and you don’t need to buy any screens with the machinery.

Update, the battery warning light came on yesterday, multimeter only showed 11.5 volts. Tractor still started and ran fine. Rang dealer, they robbed an alternator off their demonstrator and fitted it this morning.
Can't say fairer than that.

Managed to get back out this afternoon and finished spraying the Rape.
Interestingly I noticed on Daniels tractor the Speedometer dial is in Kms whereas ours came in Mph.
Anyone else noticed this?

I suspect you can swap it over in the menus, you can on a JD.
Does your wheel slip monitor do anything?

Now that is stunning...
No imonitor as we hadn't intended using for spraying and fert spreading so had to retrofit an isobus kit.
Yes I think the Speedo is a factory option but the dash display is changeable in the settings.

Yeah she's a beaut.
Been working her hard this week. Once spring drilling's done she's going back to the dealer for a front PTO and proper Deutz weight.

It's used a lot, as does any 180hp tractor on a plough or power harrow. Whether it's better or worse than others I couldn't say, I think Deutz are generally reported to be pretty good though.
