[QUOTE="Nuda, post: 7708916, member: 161743"] I'm a CS student in Ireland, my father has a small-medium sized beef farm (I forget what we are at now but less than 150acres) Most of his work is actually in the truck delivering stone, soil and **lime**. I've been down with him for part of the summer helping him spreading lime for customers and we were talking about the gps systems and how he wants one when it's hard to see tracks as a reference point when spreading the lime as you can be wasting valuable lime by overlapping and you might even do harm. I asked him how much he thought they were and I was shocked. So after a bit of Googling about gps modules. It seems easily doable sub €2k for a receiver in the tractor (connected to your android tablet for display) and your own rtk base station with 1cm accuracy (equivalent or better than any current system). Obviously this is a lot of work so I want a tidy sum if I can get it all working and refined to a sellable product but I also need to know your must have features. At an absolute minimum the system should have: * Area of the field already covered * Guidance (predetermined rows) * Distance traveled 1. So what other features are especially important? rather than interesting but ultimately not selling point stuff like drainage mapping. 2. How much are your current systems altogether (subscriptions aswell)? 3. How much would you be willing to pay for a third party system? [/QUOTE]
