TOPCON X23 / X25 to Amatron 3

[shumungus]

Wanting to run ZAM Profis fert sower with Amatron 3 box on a Tractor with no speed output. Tractor has an X25 or X23 in it as needed. My question is can X23 or X25 give a speed ouput for the Amatron 3, and if so how? Can it do headland switching on and off?
Any help much appreciated as this isn't my thing and I want to have a bit of an understanding of what is possible before I talk to the boys with the bits.

Can it be bodged with a prop shaft sensor ? I’m sure our kuhn running through a Trimble works on both the speed sensor plug or a sensor on the shaft

Prop shaft sensor would get me speed ok but would like to have used the topcon if possible as it is just right there.

X23/25 can broadcast radar pulse speed. Speak to your supplier they should be able to provide a harness. or Contact LH Agro

Does the radar pulse speed mimick the speed out put signal from tractor?

Yes it does the same as picking up a radar pulse from tractor or from gear box speed from in cab 7 pin iso socket

Thanks Robert, I'll go and ask a few questions. At least I now know it can be done.
