[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7708924, member: 156006"] wont be as easy as your thinking as you’ll have various breeds of tractor to make it compatible with. Trimble has its entry level auto steer system that’s very adaptable to different tractors combines and sprayers but it’s only waas not rtk. To make it financially viable fir yourself you’ll need to shift enough units at a reasonable profit. getting a system to record acres covered,distance travelled is very low on the wish list of most farmers but accurate guidance and implement control eg sprayers on and off and variable rate applications would be something that would be a selling point. Look at the market your trying to break into an see if you can give the same levels of technology and make it cheaper and more user friendly. That being said I think a box standard accurate guidanc/ auto steer system that’s attractively prices would find a home in many farming operations Here in Canada. As for price range I’d think you’ll need to be half what the big boys are charging before many will part with hard earned money on home made technology. Subscription here are in the 15-1800$ range for rtk per year. Unlocks are extra per unit. [/QUOTE]
