I have one on my Chafer Sprayer but that's talking to a X25. It is also plugged into my JD's Isobus & I've had a few issues with "who's in charge" but nothing I couldn't solve easily.

@Robt - are any of your former colleagues at LH Agro users in here?

I’ve used the sprayer version on jd and my Fendt. Works on jd but no section control on Fendt.

Seeder version i have won’t do section control, can’t do vra and won’t even map my products being applied. This is running on my Fendt display. Seems topcon are selling an isobus unit without it being fully ready.

Finally got an update on this from topcon via my dealer. Apparently the Apollo is not compatible with Fendt 784 software version but they are working on it.

No idea on timeline though.

Also makes me nervous going forward. Will they be playing catch up with when Fendt software 785 comes out.
