Our patchwork has gone buggered. Dealer says about £1200 for a new one. Can one be made or bought for less? Fertiliser spreading and a little drilling will be its jobs.

Is this just download and go? Assume you need a receiver on roof?AgopenGPS.
Unsure is the honest truth. Probably don’t need autosteer for the little we doScreen of some sort, free to recieve roof receiver
None of this is for free of course.
Is tractor steering ready? makes it easier if it is.
They don't really use a lot of data on the very basic apps. Trouble is, the phone GPS is really not very accurate on location.A few years ago I downloaded an app on an old phone I no longer have. It was great for working basic A to B lines, and manually steering to them, but really needed a phone mount in the cab rather than trying to balance it on my knee and steer at the same time. Iirc, it was free to use in the basic format, but would require paid subscription for better service and data management. By now, I guess there are umpteen basic "sat nav" apps available for your phone free or very cheap, though, iirc, I could use a lot of data capacity on my phone, if I wasn't careful, though nowadays data time is much cheaper.
You can use an F9P over USB on your phone, and it will provide a "mock location", so you'll get far more accurate GPS that way. You can also feed it an RTK signal, so your phone (well, the F9P antenna) becomes centimetre-level...They don't really use a lot of data on the very basic apps.

Fieldbee free is a nice bit of software I always reckon.
I used a Reach RS2 (since sold) for RTK adjusted signal, then BT to the phone or tablet, for use by the apps.You can use an F9P over USB on your phone, and it will provide a "mock location", so you'll get far more accurate GPS that way.

The ones that don't say cracked or broken are still twice the price agopengps can be done forThere are loads of second hand patchwork kits on Facebook market place for not big money
I’ll be honest I have no clue, I’d have to double check but I’m pretty sure we sent it back to patchwork and they just said that the software is no longer supported but didn’t send the unit back.Hi @Headless chicken which model is it that you have? Is the screen past it?
are you doing agopen gps?So finally go around to sorting this. I’ve ordered a toughbook and an antenna. I assume I now need a cox to Ethernet converter to connect the two together? Or how does it receive the signal? Are these all created equal or do I need to buy the correct one?
Yep. But just basic without the auto steer.are you doing agopen gps?
plenty of us on here to guide youYep. But just basic without the auto steer.
