anyone know if it is possible to run a baler with an isobus terminal from an old tractor?specifically a comprima with direct isobus on a 98 8130.is it just a matter of getting power to the terminal or is it far more complicated than that?also the machine i've seen has air brakes how involved is it changing them to oil as my tractor don't have air?!:confused:thanks in advance

I've just had a cable fitted to a TM 155 using a Trimble as the ISOBUS terminal, also fit a generic multi controller joy stick thing. Only been using it a month, on a sprayer, but well happy with it. Next step load sensing on the hydraulics.
Also wouldn't think it would be hard to either convert the brakes to oil but I would be tempted to go air and oil like our trailers,
