    Patchwork working width setup

    The XT48 seems to be a 12 m spreader? https://powerandearth.com/product/teagle-xt48-fertiliser-spreader/ Usually a 12m spreader actually spreads over a 24m width but you run at 100% overlap, that is at 12 metre distance from the previous path. Is this new 24m spreader really a 24m spreader...

    AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

    Should be the same wiring as on a Valtra.

    AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

    "They" referred to RTK2GO, you might bin them instead of drill markers (to be honest, we use markers even if we have no RTK issues and no need for markers). If you lose "signal", you have to check first if it is the RTK correction signal issue (check latency and cellular coverage) or if it is...

    SIM card in Fendt with AGI 4 receiver

    Isn't that warning for the more recent Fendt models? The SIM slot is visible in the photo above (front left of the plug-in modem), no separate eject button, just press the sim card and it ejects enough to be removed. Does not harm to be careful with the older HW too.

    AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

    This sounds odd, are you from the UK, which service are you using? This cannot be an Android issue, must be something else. Parallel voice calls and data connectivity has been "built in from the start" for 3G networks and up. Even 2G networks have Dual Transfer Mode but not all phones and not...

    8 spline PTO ?

    For heavy, permanent use I would consider changing the PTO shaft. At least for many other tractor brands pretty simple to swap and not very expensive.

    N5-series Valtra PTO external emergency switch

    The sawmill has several of these (series wired) and simply plugged to the socket at the rear of older Valtras. On older tractors these safety switches cut the PTO spool valve power, very simple circuit and safe. I did not find the N/T5 series wiring but it probably is the same as on a T4...

    N5-series Valtra PTO external emergency switch

    Nothing on the options list that looks relevant. :(

    N5-series Valtra PTO external emergency switch

    Agreed, started that discussion already but in most cases thefarmingforum gives an equal or better solution and way faster.

    N5-series Valtra PTO external emergency switch

    I actually didn't look at the fender buttons wiring. Aren't the buttons working like "push to turn on" and "push to turn off"? I assume it is NO switch and the switch connecting momentarily will either switch PTO on or off. It is a signal switch, not a switch in series with the PTO solenoid. I...

    N5-series Valtra PTO external emergency switch

    We got a new N5-series Valtra and figured out it does not have the emergency switch off plug that Valtras have had for fifty years. On older Valtras the PTO spool valve drive current flows through the plug at the rear of the tractor. I guess this feature has been discontinued because of CAN bus...

    Communication problem between the AGI-4 RTK and an external modem

    You have connected the modem tx signal to the AGI-4 rx pin, the modem rx signal to the AGI-4 tx pin? You have configured AGI-4 to use the external modem (I did not check how this works from the X25, straightforward from the Fendt VarioTerminal) and baud rate the same on both ends? Are your...

    External Modem settings Fendt 936

    Do you have the Satel radio installed? Our Gen6 does not have settings for the radio as it isn't installed. The Satel radio is feeding the GNSS receiver what ever the (typicall Satel) radio at the other end is receiving and sending forward. This should be the exact same RTCM message stream as...

    External Modem settings Fendt 936

    Would be useful to have a photo of your roof boxes. The Novatel & VDO3 box should be something like on the wiring diagram here: https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/rtk-for-fendt-varioguide-with-a-third-party-base-how-to-guide.95352/page-5#post-8669491 Our SCR series Fendt had menus...

    External Modem settings Fendt 936

    That does not prove no 2G support. I guess you mean you've seen no service with the multi roaming SIM in an area that does not have 3G coverage but does have 2G coverage? What model year Fendt is it, which GNSS receiver does it have? On the AGI-4 an external receiver is straightforward but I'm...
