ARAG controller

[Jon]

Can anyone advise me from their own experience.

I am wishing to use a trimble cfx system with RTK compatability, to control the spray rate and auto shut off at the headlands on my sprayer.

Will the trimble kit just plug in somewhere on the ARAG unit to supply a GPS signal ? Or am I stuck with the egnos kit that comes with the ARAG system , thereby running two separate Gps systems, one for steering the other for the sprayer.

Hope this comes over fairly clearly.

I’m running an Agleader head unit that is isobus. Arag runs the section control etc.

How old is the arag controller that you are trying to play with?

It'll be new.
I'm looking to purchase a new sprayer, it comes with Arag kit, would love to be able to take the GPS signal from the Trimble kit, to operate rate control etc, and save a few quid on the egnos kit that the sprayer comes with.

Trimble will supply a lead to plug straight in! It’s only an RS233 feed. Simples!

Plug into the Arag terminal. ?

If its new, the person selling it should know.

They're telling me to use the Trimble screen, the rate controller and section control on the sprayer has to be fitted separately by trimble, they were advised this by the sprayer manufacturer.

Being a beginner at this I hoped all the Arag system would need was a signal from a GPS system.

Apparently not though, although @Robt seems to think it will ?

So I was hoping for some other user experience.

Ok, pm me who is sprayer builder and just what you want to do!
