Teejet MATRIX PRO 570GS

[JD6920s]

Anyone use one or know anything about them?
Thinking of adding one to a 24m 4 section sprayer for section control!

yes have one, just got section control fitted but needed separate box to control section c/w rate control. only just got it done and have only tested it with water yet. first inpressions easy to work.

Good reliable units I've sold quite a few and no hassle. It would be worth considering the 840gs but make sure and get the RXA-30 antenna. It is far better than the patch antenna.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I have been advised to go for the RXA-30 antenna already, but just wanted info and experience of the system, would it be worth it on a 4 section 24 m?
At the moment it's running on an Arag Bravo 300 controller. I also have a Patchwork Black Box, which could be upgraded to section control I believe, but perhaps a stand alone unit in the sprayer would be best as the black box is used on other machines too!

I've used a 570 Matrix on a Chafer Eseries in line with a Teejet 844E rate controller. Brilliantly simple and easy to use. I leave the 570 in the tractor permanently, and take the 844 out when I drop the sprayer off. That allows the matrix to be used as guidance for other jobs and reduces hassle, and can still use the sprayer on other tractors without using gps

Sorry to hijack:

Does anyone have any experience of getting an Nmea signal from a Trimble fm1000 to one of these units?

We use one on our sprayer but egnos drifts too much in large fields with liquid fert!

will work with 4 sections, to get more benefit more sections would help.

We use one in combination with section control, 7 sections. For 6 years now, works great.
