Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | Not sure on the time it would take. Going this route would require: The Insight console, a suitable switchbox (probably Ag Leader's 10 boom box), an Auxiliary Input module, the Direct Command liquid control modules, an appropriate wiring harness and a suitable GPS. You would not need an extremely high end GPS but a bare bones low end unit would not be suitable.
You might have to improvise on the control valve wiring and boom valve wiring which would not be that difficult for someone who has access to the connectors and is familiar with the various setups. The flow connector on the flowmeter is possibly a different style than Raven normally used on their own branded products.
I don't want to sound discouraging but the average farmer just doesn't have the experience, tools and resources necessary for some of these installs.
I guess I would concentrate on getting the rest of your "N" applied. That way when our conditions are fit, the supply chain may have a chance to recover for our needs.
The special Raven controller was necessary due to Deere's reluctance to plumb their sprayer properly. This was informatin given to by a Raven Tech whom I trust.
The Deere plumbing doesn't handle low rates well so the Raven has a special chip with different programming to handle this. This in itself might pose a problem for using Direct Command. Another difference is that Deere picks up their ground speed from the hydro and uses SP2 which is not the same SP2 (radar) that a standard Raven would utilize.
