autosteer

Hello guys, what is the most comfortable Tractor/Combine you've ever driven? 😀

Only just heard about this today - interesting development. Scary to read that AGCO is "by far the smaller company in the deal, despite it having a more prominent public presence in the agricultural industry." https://www.agriland.co.uk/farming-news/agco-spends-2-billion-on-trimble-acquisition/

Recon now tractors are getting on for £1000 per horsepower the unreliability of a lot of tractors needs to be seriously addressed . Farmers spending £250 k + plus for prime tractors that is an obseen amount of money to spend on a tractor and then they still breakdown i know extended...

Whilst I was vaguely aware of mobile industry changes it’s now a very real headache. Vodafone in their bid to lead the way are shutting down 3G at speed. Others are pledging to do similar so they can ‘reinvest in 4 and 5g’ The result is call dropping in most places now round us. O2 say they...

If using both together(don't use autosteer on the sprayer that often) the teejet section control can go all over the place and shift its line and field ends. Both antennas are on the roof of the sp sprayer and about 6 inches apart. Thoughts and experiences please.

not done this for a while but been asked to send a spare man and (240 hp 55kph) tractor potato carting what’s the going rate / hr (our fuel) ?

We have taken our arable operations back in-house and I am costing up sprayer options as the contracting bill is likely to be £7k-£8k per year and I have my PA quals, having been using a simple 12 m mounted for all our grass and stewardship stuff. We have 90 ha of cereals in 3 blocks of 29-32...

Got a 250 for guidance in a ranger for avadex work but thinking about putting easy steer onto it . Just really to make it easy on me only thing is that it is non power steering . Would it be strong enough to op the steering as steering is fair easy .

Hi all, just bought a small sp sprayer, it has a delta 34i which has a faulty screen. What is available as in guidance/spray controller or do I just fix the current one and use foam markers? Cheers

Where would we start, we're thinking of putting auto steer on our sowing tractor. Are they hard to move from 1 tractor to another? Basic approx price? Make? Thanks.

A line on the bbc website about food price inflation not actually as high as reported. More boll0cks? ————— The official inflation measure uses shelf prices, not the price you pay on the till. So, it misses loyalty card discounts offered by supermarkets. ———————

Have got a lemkin solitaire 9 drill I was wanting to put tramline markers on. Lemkin are wanting a small fortune for them. Has anyone made their own or fitted a kit from some else.

Need a new one, whats good? What features do i need or are they all singing and dancing as standard these days?

I recently got my first CNH tractor. T7.175 to be exact. And can't really understand how should I set up the AC to stop sweating. If outside temp is 25 or more degrees and there is sun the only way to feel comfortable is to blast all the wind outlets into myself. But after an hour or so my nose...

Just watched a video clip of a combine retrofitted with auto steer. Very impressive but what does the driver do all day he dare not touch the steering wheel till the end of the row then panic stations lift, turn, drop then off again, might be up to 10 minutes to the other end. With auto speed...

Recently purchased a challenger sprayer with the above setup .. I've been told its unlocked to rtk but ive no idea where the modem or sim card goes to use it at a higher level than egnos. Can anyone shed any light on this? Also today it wouldn't pick up gps signal... Im not sure if this was...

I’ve heard a few stories suggesting this model is very prone to engine issues, any truth in it? I would be looking for a 2020 model or newer. BB

The largest source of energy usage on arable farms is crop storage and drying. Transport and cultivation are also a considerable source and the inputs which go into growing crops comprise another large source. The ’embodied energy’ found in fertilisers, especially ammonium and nitrate based...

we have a worst thread so for balance what’s the best tractor of all time ?

I expect some other TFF members read the article in last week’s FW , about the two JD x9 on the Buckminstet estate. It mentions that the combine driver can take control of the grain trailer tractor from the combine seat. Great stuff but how much would that facility cost , and how on earth could...
