Krm fertiliser sower linked to GPS

[Massey 6470]

Has any body a pictures part number of the cable required to link a krm m35 w to a Trimble cfx 750 like the picture or to a Full autoguide Massey 6715S

 

[Matt L]

Ideally need to see the connector ends but should be an RS 232 cable. Lots of places supply them online

 

[Massey 6470]

Is that like a computer printer cable

 

[Matt L]

Depending on your printer yes. You can also get them with the RS232 on one and and usb on the other depending on the ports on your terminals

There isn't an RS232 port on the CFX 750, it's a 12 pin Deutsch socket.
If you are running Autopilot you can use the diagnostic port on the nav controller which is RS232.
That will only work for NMEA not prescriptions, you need to come out the back of the CFX for that.

 

[Matt L]

Hence why I said you need to look at a the terminal connections.

Has any body linked the sower to the external painting switch in the GPS so that it paints when the fert sower shutters are open

If your KRM spreader box is a RDS, then this might help as I had to connect my Sulky spreader up to a MF6718S:

Massey NMEA to RDS Artemis

Massey NMEA to RDS Artemis

For the last 10 years I have successfully had a RDS Artemis box linked to a Trimble EZ250 to provide GPS position and forward speed for a Sulky fertiliser spreader. I now have a new Massey with Fieldstar 5 and autosteer. I want to connect my RDS Artemis box to the Massey for the GPS position...

Box will be a calibrator zurf

Just give KRM a ring they're a very helpful bunch and very approachable because if you go off piste free styling and get the pinout wrong you could get yourself into a whole load of expensive bother unnecessarily. Keith and co will do there best to sort you out.

Yeah, I plumbed a pressure switch into one of the spools (it was already tee'd off for front linkage anyway) and connected to back of 750. As my kuhn uses 2 spools, it only shows when the left is open, but this is a 98% solution. Useful to download to pc and see what paddocks I'd sown after memory fade a few weeks later.

As it's all on the tractor side, no wires near fert, and I've used it to track mowing, muck, slurry, baler door open as well.
