Can Fendt Novatel talk to JD Harvestlab 3000?

[Digester Man]

I am working with a JD dealer to integrate HarvestLab 3000 manure sensing into our spreading operation. The dealer "thinks" but doesn't know, whether the Fendt Novatel receiver can provide a gps signal for the HarvestLab, to give it forward speed and mapping. This would leave a nicely integrated solution on our Fendt 516, without needing to buy a Greenstar for the roof.

Does anyone know who I could speak to? I have emailed Novatel support but wondering if anyone on here has seem anything similar done before..

Ok so Novatel replied within an hour but unfortunately were unable to help! Any other ideas?

I did not read any HarvestLab 3000 details but if it only needs NMEA for location and speed, you can get those messages from the D9 connector at the Fendt roof. Just set the serial bit rate the same on both devices and configure your Fendt to output the necessary messages. This is all in the Fendt manual too.

I have a customer that is running NovAtel receiver on a 900 Fendt and taking a NMEA stream out and feeding into the JD screen to run a JD dry rate controller (we thought it was ISOBUS, but it would only run in a JD screen) works really well, I got Nick Abbey Digital Agriculture to make up the connectors for me so it runs off the 9 pin ISOBUS socket in the cab to pick up the tractors ISOBUS harness and take the NMEA from the RS232 connector up in the same corner of the cab.

I’d probably try speaking to Solsteer

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it will work alright! Will ring both above companies and see what they recommend.
