Great answer!!
It is also my understanding the JD and Outback's version or product they call RTK is not RTK and it is all an advertising gimmick. Is this true as well? Isn't RTK an trade mark of Trimble?
Having used auto-steer on both planting tractor, tillage tools and on the combine I can tell you that precision is addictive, and when you have to go back to HP or WAAS, steering becomes work again. Its the difference between not touching the thing and hitting nudge all day long.
I would not combine another acres of beans without auto-steer.

RTK is not specific to Trimble, but remember Trimble has been in GPS manufacturing since 1978. Cannot comment on the Outback prodact as I have never seen or used, but it (Fencepost?) is not on the same level of accuracy as the others.

Is RTK really necessary?
