Coles County, Illinois | It's probably going to take finding a dealer that wants to work with you. I put a Raven Smartrax MD unit on a John Deere 4630. Although there wasn't a published install kit for it my dealer talked to Raven and Raven made a couple custom parts so I could install it. They didn't charge me extra but it took a few days for them to get back to us. It took a couple months before the parts arrived. The parts where just a different bracket (anti-rotation) and a different telescope extender. The actual spines in the steering wheel were a fairly common size. Not a big deal but it took a desire by all parties to go the extra distance.
With that said, this isn't rocket science but it does have a learning curve. A couple days ago I was getting ready to do a software update on a unit and couldn't configure the communication ports. Took me awhile to figure out that one of my helpers had put the unit in Demo mode during harvest. Since I wasn't starting a job, the only clue was that I had good satellite reception inside my shed. It still took me two hours scratching my head before I realized what had happened. Some people can take handle a situation like that, others go postal. Hence the need for a good dealer for some. | |
