Guidance for a Polaris Ranger

[warksfarmer]

Thinking about a guidance system for a ranger when paddock spraying. It's either running at 3m or 10m generally. It would also need to give a speed reading but other than that as simple as possible really.

Is nobody doing this then? Any ideas much appreciated.

What are you wanting cheap light bar or full autosteer.

Should be easy(ish)lay done for both.

Open to suggestions but ideally we need to drive at the correct widths and have a map so we know when to switch on/off and we really need an accurate speed reading because the dial on the ranger is pants.

How could it go full auto steer?

Expensive exercise but electric steering wheel motor bolted on?

Or a basic guidance screen which would guide, map and help with speed.

I've seen it done in Australia, full autosteer for drawing straight lines for fencing, so it's doable...

How about this?

That's one of our systems supplied to a spray contractor. He uses it for sports pitches and small padlocks. It uses a Topcon AES-25 steering wheel, AGi-4 rtk receiver and Topcon x30.
It's also set up for section and rate control.
We have a similar system on our own kubota buggy for demo/testing

We have fitted 2 of these now, very good for boundaries, and spraying etc
