I have been checking out some gps guidance lightbar systems. One is the on track with a paid subscription called veratrak that seems to increase accuracy quite a bit. Would it be reasonable to plant corn and beans with such a system? Are there other such systems that anyone has had good experience with? Don’t really want to put autosteer on our older tractors. I know there are numerous autosteer systems that would retrofit but just want to stay as simple as possible. Only talking about 150acres.
What are you wanting to get from the system? Manual/lightbar steering is certainly an option, but assisted steering systems are so inexpensive and reliable now that I would suggest you keep your options open. Talk to your local dealer and see what they recommend for your planter tractor, and see if they can install an electric steering kit you can demo. Then make a few passes steering manually using the lightbar for guidance, and make a few passes with the steering motor doing the work. |
