Guidance for a guidance ready MF 7720

[FarmerFrank88]

I’ve decided to finally bite the bullet and put guidance on my 2019 7720 which I bought as guidance ready and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good systems or any to avoid, looking for something good enough for spraying so fairly accurate and a bit of drilling in the autumn, ideally not too expensive and not too complicated if possible
Thanks

You should be able to use AgOpenGPS over CanBus.
Doable for under £1k, RTK, so sub 25mm accuracy, U turn etc...

Easy installation with CanBus, two wires and it will utilise the fitted Hyd valve, wheel angle sensor etc.
Just pop the antennae on the roof and mount the tablet in the cab.
It's likely there's a free RTK basestation you can use too.

Look at the FJ Dynamics kit, as they were bringing equipment suitable for "guidance ready" tractors.

No doubt some of the other Chinese stuff will also be getting there too. Nowhere near as cheap as @Andy26 recommendation mind

I've seen FJD now support Isobus, but hadn't seen they can steer over Canbus yet?

And they've introduced a retrofit hyd valve https://www.fjdynamics.com/product/fjd-ah1-hydraulic-autosteering-kit although not seen it offered in the UK yet?

Dunno tbh, I know they were working on some new stuff when I spoke with them last November at the Farm Tech show...

I've got one of these kits in stock, was planning to test it on one of the tractors on the farm but could offer at a demo price if you were interested
