[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 8160986, member: 615"] [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tractor-gps.co.uk/[/URL] Again this ^^^ In the days before auto steer, lightbars were a revelation to those of us schooled "properly" in the art of picking a mark to cut a break, or dobbing a bit grease on the windscreen for the fert spreader width Think it's still only about £400 for the tablet and dome antenna. Nothing comes close for price, and it's WAY more accurate than many still using a small puck antenna Dome antenna is superb; pass to pass accuracy is exceptional for such a simple low cost setup. I've experimented using it for field rolling at 3m, and to get any better you'd need autosteer Drift over time is the only possible issue: I've seen over a meter deviation when it's taken over an hour to fill the fert spinner, check cows, kiss the wife, etc. Also, I've not found an an option in the software to adjust your AB line to compensate. Haven't striped anything yet though! Tablet that came with mine is OLD. It works fine, but slowly! Really it needs faster refresh rate because much over 5mph at the headland and it won't keep up. The latest model tablet may be improved though? If you're after an easier life spreading fert, cutting breaks, tedding grass, then for a few hundred pounds this is more accurate than some systems costing thousands [/QUOTE]
