[QUOTE="Norfolk Olly, post: 6977832, member: 1108"] Im sorry but i dont agree that all the skill has gone out of the job, its just a different type of skill. I did 14 years on a triple ridger before gps and yes it was satisfying being able to drive straight I wouldnt go back as the job as a whole has improved such as, being able to mark out headlands so virtually no overlaps, work heavy land before bad weather if its in the middle of the field or not, now able to to do all the short work first so the destoners work it off then i put the side headlands in then carry on with landwork which means no going back to fields to ridge headlands, when drilling you can see how the tramlines are going to work out with poles so you can shift them so the sprayer clips them with the breakback each side rather than spraying around them, being able to plough short work into long so you get no hog troughs etc etc the list is endless. Today for instance ive altered the angle of stewardship so the rest of the field works out as a square width of 504 metres or 14x36m sprayer widths. Its not until you use it for a while till you see the full potential rather than just straight rows. [/QUOTE]
