Auto section control

[Chunka87]

Wat the best system for reasonable price and user friendly. Bateman rb26 24meter.
Had quotes for aftermarket system with every nozzle shut off for 7k and some more well known system for just sectional control from 5k to 12k.

But are the aftermarket kit any gd like arag and alltek

Have you tried speaking to Bateman themselves. They use agleader stuff and are very helpful regarding retro fitting it.

Don't know what your experience is in this area, but I think one key thing to look at is back-up. Better to pay slightly more up front and have a company that will pick up the phone and help you through things. We use Topcon through LH Agro (@Robt) and get on very well with them. Retro-fitted section control to our RB17 a few years ago which has worked well.

Are you looking for steering as well, or just section control?

Topcon isn't the cheapest but the backup from LH Agro is excellent.

LH might get you up and running quickly, after some inspection on the work it looks like it was done by kids. we started with PD and went to LH and the problem seemed to follow so decided to go back to PD!

We have used PD recently for auto-section control on the drill and cant fault the work.
