[QUOTE="Oscar, post: 760668, member: 3887"] Thought I would update my experience the last 3 months !! First thing is to say that I do live and work in a bad area ref mobile phone coverage with plenty of hills and valleys and also point out that I work over a 25 x 5 mile wide area and from sea level too 1200 ft high. I bought a 724 fitted with variguide from the factory with the rtk module with a roving sim card. However I did nt fit the sim until September 14 although I used it with egos to good effect. Basically since the SIM card I have done 450 hrs with the tractor but have only had 1 ten hour day where rtk worked 100% and the rest of the time it has not. It either can t connect from the start or just drops out and again it's 50:50 if it connects again. Had plenty of days where I get half days then nothing! Dealer knows and excepts it's very poor and I m told agco are also aware. I ve basically told them I want my money back as it's not fit for purpose but I am waiting for promised updates in February when tractor gets a service. When it works it's brilliant but obviously I m not getting enough times when it works! If your thinking of this system then please have it on trial for a month before parting with money. I really hope they get it better but will have to see. Only option I have other wise is a mobile mast which I move around but that is dearer and as yet unproven in my area. [/QUOTE]
