Tractor is AutoGuide Ready has Mount on roof with socket & extra cables in cab next to right hand door with three way Steering Switch on Pillar, as previous owner has there own system in it.
But it was all removed before i got it so never even seen it.
Never used any Guidance on Tractor other than KV Tellus Box for Spreader but that stays in a dif
Tractor all the time.
So what would i need to add to this one to get it to AutoSteer etc & at what costs ?

Just wanted some idea from users before dealer sells me the most exp thing that i'll probs never use.

To load guidance into the data 3, you would need an auto-guide 1 receiver which, unfortunately, are no longer available, unless you can drop on a second hand one or old stock.

Fitting a Topcon AGI-4 will not work.

What sort of jobs are you thinking about doing?

What accuracy do you think you want?

just to start with probs for land work with various machines not seed drill unless i could do that aswell,
gonna need it rather accurate for that tho?
How good is the free SATs for this task?
KV Box tells me when iam over spreading width wise & even shuts off end 2m section in the odd cases on a slope.
Iam sure its all on the Same FREE SATs & isnt it to within 30cm or something?
All new to this, the Fert Spreader was my first introduction to anything GPS.
Seeing this MF has the option to use it i just wondered what it might cost
Thanks
