Both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line | Tedbear is right on (as usual). I really see the benefits of having the color map, and I feel that the autoswath is the icing on the cake. If I were you, I'd call Ag Express and see if they could add the serial port to your raven box. If they can, you could then use the App rate module. This is much easier to wire and you could probably have this installed in time for spraying. Its around $500 to have the serial port added to a raven, then you're looking at about another $500 for Ag Leaders app rate module. This setup will get you everything but autoswath for $1000. To go to direct command the list price is $2700 for the modules etc. These prices don't include the console or GPS, but the question is, is the autoswath worth $1700 and the intensive installation? Only you can answer that one. |
