I have been operating one of the earlier John Deere light bars and domes for probably over 10 years, which has been adequate for my needs of spraying, top dressing and setting up land work for parallel work.
My dome stopped working and my local John Deere supplied me their spare one to use. I’ve found my dome can’t be repaired so am looking at the next step.
I could just get a new dome but have a sneaky suspicion that it will come in at more than a basic screen based GPS and I would be still using a light bar. Alternatively I could upgrade to a John Deere screen with the dome but they seem pricey compared with Teejet, Trimble etc basic guidance. I run 2 tractors and am thinking I could buy basic guidance systems for both tractors for the price of upgrading one John Deere one.
So as the title says are John Deere worth the premium? I haven’t got in depth knowledge of guidance so any advice/help would be much appreciated.
