    Patchwork working width setup

    Hi We've just had a second hand patchwork system to go with our first 24m spreader and I think I'm confusing myself! Spreading to 24m, we need to travel at 12m widths. So, is your working width in patchwork 12 or 24? I think I've managed to work everything out - measuring, AB etc from online...

    Trimble Ez-Guide 500 Headland

    I have all my fields saved in the ez 500, and works great but i wonder if you need to complete the headland before you can see the AB line. I mean, this year its muddy in some places in the field and i wont be able to reach the saved Headland line. So can i skip over that part of headland and...

    What basic gps?

    Our patchwork has gone buggered. Dealer says about £1200 for a new one. Can one be made or bought for less? Fertiliser spreading and a little drilling will be its jobs.

    Massey Autosteer problem.

    2016 7720 steer ready with an aftermarket Agleader Incommand on RTK. The tractor is sitting approx 25cmm off the line always to the right. The problem was intermittent. I had this before and the problem was with the tractor rather than the Agleader system. Problem sorted out by dealer at that...

Is it possible to set the guidance and autosteer to 12 m from the boundary and then infill with 24 m tramlines...

    AgOpenGPS Picture thread

    A picture thread of AgOpenGPS (AOG) installations and in field work, to hopefully encourage others as to what's possible. I know on TFF we have AOG users who are steering as manual lightbar, foam wheel motor, 3D printed cogs, 'Baraki' hydraulic valve, OEM hydraulic valves and over CanBus! So...

    Straight forward light bar guidance.

    We run a couple of 18m tedders and as the crop dries it can become very difficult seeing where to drive , low sun, pollen or just final pass before baling . I thought a simple light guidance would really help . I have been offered 2x Trimble EZ 250 units at not expensive money but then...

    Moving from CNH to JD autosteer

    After recording a boundary with the CNH system, I can create a field AB line parallel to any section of the boundary line on the screen, without driving along that section again. I can create a new AB line while in autosteer - for example along a straight section of a curved line. I can get...

Guessing a trencher is the best option, assume pipe will needed to be sanded in etc. I can work out the cost of the pipe, fittings and sand but not sure on labour to unravel the thing and...
