Woodham, Ontario | There are 2 ways to run your sprayer, with the 450 and with a Greenstar rate controller. You can definitely use the ITC for a speed source and you can even document the rate and coverage from all sections on the 2600. The 2600 can even send variable rate info to the 450, it just can never control sections based on coverage.
To use the 450 and get radar speed from the ITC, you need to connect the GPS wire in the right hand console to make radar available to the speed connector on the right hand corner post. Then you can use AgExpress cable AE2579 to connect the Raven 450 speed input to the tractor. At this point you can spray.
To document rates, coverage by section, you need AE3168. That harness connects to the harness that plugs into the back of the 2600 and it allows the 450 to talk to the 450. When sections are turned on and off it will all show up on the 2600. You can also send rates to the 450. The 2600 will not tell the 450 to shut off sections based on overlap.
If you want a fully automatic system with GPS section control, you can use your 2600 and ITC, but you will also need a Greenstar Rate Controller and a section control activation on your 2600. The Greenstar Rate Controller will completely replace your 450 and you will not need it at all. I bought a new sprayer last year that came with a new Raven 450 and I have never used it in the field! I did set it up to make sure it would work as a backup. If you plan on getting a Greenstar Rate Controller your AMS person should be able to help you identify what components you have and how to make it work. The automatic section control is really nice to have. Once you use that you will not want to use the 450 anymore! | |
