If you are remotely clued up tech wise and don't mind putting a small amount of effort then AgOpenGPS . An order of magnitude less expensive at the very least.

There is a Patchwork blackbox (£600) in Classifieds on here, would be a good start.

Anyone got fieldbee. Saw a write-up in fw a couple of weeks ago. Sounded good for price. Often if that's the case there's a catch!

Presumably that needs an autosteer ready tractor?

 

[SilliamWhale]

You can't really beat Trimble for price.

A 750 and the ez steer would be cheapest.

But surprisingly prices of this are going up not down

What tractor or machine is it to fit to?

New holland 7050

Yes, and would need a nav controller. It was previously used as part of an ez pilot kit but that part has been sold.

 

[glasshouse]

This tractor had trimble on it

I like the idea of Agopengps and the software seems to work very well. The problem seems to be connecting it to a good auto steering system.

Are there any easy, reliable ways to do it?

I think there would be a big market for a geared steering wheel motor that would connect easily to Agopengps. I hope someone produces one soon ??

I've started having a look into this, although only briefly so far, if someone has one all setup near Cambridgeshire that I could have a look at then I might be able to make some suggestions.

My Motor setup before it was painted etc.

.....and an early video of it working.

More detailed info on how it is put together.

Looks good. That motor looks very useful, where did you get it and how much did it cost? Thanks.

It's the 12v 13.7:1 version of this:-

Now running at 22v with current limiting to give faster headland turns.

The wheel is a 1/8 scale RC buggy wheel.
