Glad you’ve posted that pic we just had our system transferred onto a new 7718 I mentioned getting a switch fitted which vantage said they could do for us if we wanted so it’s good that it works well and doesn’t look out of place
Guy that fitted it put it just in the right place. Palm of your hand on the side of the armrest and your thumb is right on it without even having to think about it.

Will need to get my duster going though. Did all the spring sowing with no air con. Thank goodness those old cabs still have side windows:D

Couldn’t agree more been fighting a stinking cold and those side windows are a blessing for plenty of fresh air

We have an engagement button on the tractor joystick.
When Fert spreading, spraying or using the pronto drill I can be travelling at 10k ish when wanting to engage the auto steer.
surely ya not turning in tho at 10kph, christ id tip the tractor over trying that here.
Just ease off a bit & should be fine. unless you have something not set right ??
 
Sorry to hijack the thread, having trouble getting my 750 to pickup egnos satellites, can be waiting for up to half an hour before it decides to start working, will show between 8 and 15 satellites but the active gnss will show not ready so it won’t let the KRM work on the section control and auto shutoff, anyone any ideas? I’m wondering if the antenna is dodgy, will probably have to pay for a subscription and got to RTK

this is what it shows on startup

You could also try a free 3 day RangePoint RTX demo, if that works there is nothing wrong with your antenna.
Assuming it is an AG-25 and not an AG-15.
What firmware is the display on?

Firmware is the latest version as updated it last week to the final one, it can track up to 18 satellites on auto but still won’t lock on until after a long time, think I’m going to have to try the free trial to see if it is the antenna

The other thing to check is which EGNOS satellite it is set to look for. I afraid its a long time since I worked with a CFX so I really can't remember where to look now.

Try driving around a bit. Mine did it late one night while drilling. Jumped out fir a pee and a walk around to check everything in the dark as that’s when sh1t happens. Went to go back drilling but no auto steer, sat waiting for a while but no luck getting. turned it on and off a couple of time still nothing. started driving back towards the entrance and got a few hundred feet and it was back on. Happened a few times now. Move positions and it kicks bavk on.

I have fields that I have lots of trouble with due to Wi-Fi broadband masts nearby. They wipe my signal for a fraction of a second every few seconds. As soon as out of line of sight or far enough away everything goes back to normal
