Hi all, I have a Great plains YP 2430 Twin planter and ran it with my Pro 700 and Iso bus controller this year. It works good but I didn't like switching from VT page to guidance page all the time. Planning in using my other tractor on the planter next year which is equipped with FMX display. It also works with the Iso terminal but again I have to switch pages all the time. Is it possible to completely run the planter directly through trimble without the ISO terminal? Great plains is running Dickeyjohn seed sensors. I'm pretty sure it's possible but also, I won't put 10000$ just to avoid switching pages....
Thanks
With enough money it can be done. Without digging into everything and seeing the machine, I'm thinking it would be cheaper to get a Pro 700 & FMX in one machine, one for the tractor and one for the drill, and continue to use ISO. With the proper cabling you could even put the FMX antenna on the planter itself and make it easier to get your on/off timed properly.
You could convert everything to run through the FMX, but why change what works. |
Running Great plains with FMX?
