    Kverneland TS Evo

    Hi All Does anyone use one of these as their one and only drill? I know a lot were sold in 2012 when it was really wet and the Vads and Horschs wouldn't go! Will they do a good enough job on fairly light, stoney land and do they take much pulling?

    Hands free kit

    I put my phone through the tractor radios for hands free. If I leave the tractor or switch off, then the connection is cut and you have to remember to reset it.

    RTK through mast or sim card?

    I am looking into RTK steering and am not sure which system to go for (mast or simcard). Mobile phone coverage never seems good enough all over the farm, do you have to pay double if you have two simcards? Do signals from masts have black spots?
