Many thanks been reading the posts now and caught up. Has anyone ever put one on a front feet hopper on a potato planter?

Not sure if you’ve already found it or not but here’s the thread on front hopper conversation ?

Retro fit ISObus RDS Artemis to a Df1

As the title states, I'm looking to convert my df1 front hopper to do variable seed rates. I've looked at the Artemis system and like the features but was wondering if the ISObus system will retro fit to run on my jd4600 screen rather than having another screen in the cab. Has anyone fitted...

i liooked into this and it’s not cheap ! for not a lot more you can buy a new hopper

Dicky John was quite a bit cheaper than RDS but i couldn’t find anyone with much experience of the Dickey John conversion

My accord front tank is worth 300 quid and my holstine machinery fert tank is worth 300 quid..... so at 6 grand probably not worth it. Got a price on a new grimme fert tank for 13 grand yesterday ?

We've just coverted an old accord drill using an RDS artemis lite, I thought it was pretty reasonable value and very easy to install. The artemis lite can't do vari-rate from factory but I do believe you can convert the lite to cope with VR... As CLive says, full artemis can start to get expensive.

New Horstine Agroband with hydraulic drive would be about £9k on farm.
