You actually have a CORS system operating in Vic, might be worth asking the questions on cost, Ant? I am using a VRS sytem here now, and it is great as long as you have mobile data coverage, which I am guessing you have.... ;)

Ima different cat when it comes to money, i cant save every penny doing everything ad hock myself, i simoly dont have thentime and i am working hard enough now, the only day off i get is driving 2 hrs to Melbourne then flyong 3 hours to townsville to gi to a minesite once in a while.

Ill pay 2500aud for a base station if it means out of the box good to go and weather proof, batteries etc.

I certainly don't have time to build one and then deal with it of goes wrong.

$900 annual charge vs $2500 once is no brainer.

I try have a break nover winter, so far im working 7 days, which makes summer long. July i will try back off the jobs and use the wallet where possible to make things easier.

How does ot steer?

Ant...

I'm just a poor old fashioned hill livestock farmer, so my setup is steered using the calloused, now arthritic thing on the end of my arm

However, look in the agopengps forum hardware, and there's how to use an electric motor driving a self 3d printed cog, friction drive onto the steering wheel, hydraulic steering valves, and even tractors canbus if its guidance ready

Why pay tens of thousands for a package that requires a new steering wheel, plus thousands for an annual subscription, when the hardware for agopengps costs less than a years subscription, and the rest is free?

Ok so who is going to assemble all this and print it, calibrate it, manufacture the harness, weather proof it etc...

It not tens of thousands, its 10 thousand total max, fjd came in at about 8500 aud inc base station, so no annual subscriptions.

I am at basically the blue dot, about 30 35km from each station.

It might do for what i want if fj or chc sysem takes cors? Id ask a dealer but i dont have one, ill message old mate on whats app.

It might be good enough for me, id be happy with 5cm at the end of the day.

With a battery its about half price than fj or chc, they are running same board as fj by looks.

I will do a bit more research.

Doesnt appear to need internet, im not clear on this if its the tablet that needs internet, or tablet and rtk unit? Etc.

All takes time of course as there websites are often sparse.
