I normally like to cross it first time, then follow the tramlines second time. It makes it easier to see where you're going.
Didn't think about it this time :banghead:
And the gps hasn't been picking up enough signal this afternoon to be of any use :banghead::banghead:
My GPS was fine all afternoon, there has been a satellite change lately, it was in the section on here about that sort of thing, I didn't have to alter mine but my mate spraying next door had to nominate a different one....

It's amazing how it's gone from one extreme to the other. Spread some fertiliser today and fields I was making ruts in less than 2 weeks ago are now rock solid and the rut walls won't squash at all.

Our spring crops are due to go in tomorrow onwards - resorting to plough/ph to try and reach keep some moisture in rather than mintill or direct drill.
Yeah we are in the same boat here rough tramlines and a bad back :(

Is that on RTK as our signals lately have been poor with regular drop outs

That's incredible work.

I'd love to know of an operator like that locally. Next time Dave gets a weekend off please send him down here.... :D
