Yes, got a Integra screen plus On Track 2 steering in 2012 Bateman RB 35 sprayer . The screen which controls the sprayer functions/steering/auto section control and Norac boom height is very good and neat and tidy but the On Track 2 is ok but not great.Biggest problem is lack of help from Precise Solutions [main importer/supplying dealer to Bateman]and its only the help and support from Bateman that has kept me going. The boss of PS, Derek Johnstone is brilliant IF you can get him but after 10 phone calls and promises from his wife to phone back I m still waiting 6 months later !!!! Seems to only have limited staff and so back up is poor[Even Bateman, biggest customer of PS moan that they struggle to get good support] He came to my machine 18 months ago and in 3 hours I bet his phone was to his ear for 2.75 hrs but to be fair he sorted the problems I had at the time but still got issues that need sorting which are beyond Bateman s knowledge.
Would I have another in next sprayer, yes but only because of Bateman support. Would not have On Track again, not worth the cost £3500.
Would I have Agleader in a tractor, no because likes of Trimble and Topcon have proper back up and support and the product is as good.
