    JD 7000 dome

    At Cereals i had a chat to a employee on the John Deere stand who was telling me the new 7000 dome uses 4 satellite constellations instead of the 2 the 6000 uses. This makes it more accurate and a stronger signal on Sf1 which is less likely to be lost under power lines and close to trees and...
