[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7892319, member: 55822"] I installed a fieldbee auto steer system, not that tricky, you can even test the app on an android phone or tablet before you buy anything, in the end the computers stuff is the app after a bit of setup. so while it’s not plug and play if you want auto steer it has to be calibrated, my guess anyone at the age of 15- 30 could do that bit and leave you to mess with the app when your in the field. I will say if you do not like tablets and apps then it maybe better if you give all auto steer systems a miss, non of them are fool proof, all need user input to get them working, every time you use them. Like setup for a job set the job select the fields set the implement, set the working width if it’s not already listed, then you have to pick from a number of options of the type of AB line you want to use, straight curved etc etc, Then you have to record that AB line in the field then the app fills out the rest of the runs for you but you may want to tweak it move it so, if your drilling with a 3m drill and are tram lining you need to add your half overlap maybe, this can be done but only manually and you may want to tweak the overlap with the first AB line run so you don’t get to much overlap or you want to get extra. It can all be done but a lot of stuff is manual, but when you get past that first bit the tractor will drive you up and down all day, you can even go and put all the tramlines in first if you so wish, as the steering will do the matching. My tramline counter was acting up at the end of the season, so I disconnected it and manually selected the tramlines when I needed them, and did all the runs in the field then turned it off and drilled the rest, the FieldBee app numbers the runs so for me it’s every 8 runs is a tramline so once I get to my first tramline I noted the run number and worked out which was my next run number that needed a tramline and did them right across the field. if your considering fieldbee then try the app, and watch their videos on YouTube [MEDIA=youtube]2lIZk__KxAY[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]WytvygnUfCs[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
