The first CS690 to be ever bogged in Australia ( & the first to be successfully pulled out without breaking
. They weigh nearly 30 tonne ), in the middle of the worst drought known We used this last night to extricate it

Pretty hard to get bogged down here atm. Do they use auto steer on them Roy?

They use steering guidance, but it runs off mechanical sensors that follow the plant row - really need it to keep the rows feeding into the heads correctly. A little bit off & you leave a lot of cotton behind
We are not far from Dalby Qld - contour banks & wash outs etc. Where Jack got bogged last night was dry on top, but at planting time there was water lying in a hollow so they didn't plant it. So, that area had a full moisture profile & was nice & soft & he was also carrying a module on the back at the time . . .

Nah, Jack was driving it then. But we were inundated with texts & phone calls from some very anxious & nervous owners of the machine
Jack was going to do the bolt back home to Brisbane if anything went wrong

Ok, so a little bit like a weed seeker on boomsprays, except activating steering....I would have assumed you would have to punch in GPS coordinates from the farmers ab line that they showed with.
